Mountain

No.74 World's 50 Best 2025 — elite chef

Mountain

Veronica's Take

In the heart of Soho, Welsh chef Tomos Parry's Mountain has emerged as the dark horse of London's dining scene, clinching the No.74 spot on the World's 50 Best 2025 list just a year after its 2023 opening. Set across two airy floors with an industrial-rustic vibe, the restaurant is a temple to Basque-inspired open-flame cooking, where hard-to-source ingredients are transformed into a menu that balances experimental flair with the pure, unadorned beauty of standout dishes like the spider crab omelette and smoked potatoes. Parry's open kitchen setup isn't just a design choice; it's a statement of intent, inviting diners to witness the alchemy of his craft firsthand.
