Evernight

Sleek, minimalist Evernight is a progressive izakaya in Nine Elms, a newly developed bit of Battersea, within sight of the U.S. Embassy building. Singaporean chef Lynus Lim (ex–Laughing Heart) takes familiar techniques and ingredients and makes something entirely new of them. Japanese and British get together in Jersey oyster and black mirin ponzu; curry prawn stuffed chicken wings; chicken and black pudding tsukune and soy yolk; and white truffle ice cream and aged shoyu caramel. Some pretty wild dishes, then, with counterparts on the list of cloudy sakes and low-intervention wine.
