Jeremy Chan's two-Michelin-star, spice-led tasting menu on the Strand.
Ikoyi is Jeremy Chan's two-Michelin-star tasting-menu room at 180 Strand, currently number 15 on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list. The cooking sits in a category of its own: spice-led plates built on British produce, sustainable fish, and aged beef, tied to no single national cuisine.
Since January 2023 the restaurant has occupied a space designed by Studio David Thulstrup. Guests enter through a bronze mesh curtain into a dim, contemplative room removed from the traffic of the Strand, in a palette of copper, charred timber, brushed stone, leather, and oak, under a curved metal-mesh ceiling. The open kitchen sits at the center like a hearth. Tables seat two to four, with a private area for up to six.
Ikoyi is tasting-menu only, at 395 pounds for the full menu and 180 pounds for a shorter one, and it changes with the seasons and what producers and fishermen bring in. The one constant is the smoked jollof rice, the signature since day one, cooked in a burnt broth and smoked to order. Around it you might find drunken squid with fermented rice, or turbot with crab salad and tonnato. The kitchen can adapt most dishes for allergies and dietary needs, though last-minute changes may carry a supplementary charge.
Bookings run through the restaurant's own SevenRooms page, released on the 1st of each month at 12:00 GMT, with reservations open up to two calendar months ahead. The room serves lunch Wednesday to Friday and dinner Monday to Friday, and is closed Saturday and Sunday.
Address: 180 Strand, Temple, London WC2R 1EA, London
