Looking to pioneer a new way of eating out in South Africa, tashas was born in 2005.
And now has 15 locations in South Africa, six in the UAE and now one in Battersea – and they say “all of them are spaces where food and conversation go hand in hand”.

Including jett and lukes, breakfast royale and sweet toast for the morning grazers, and dinner nibbles of prawn skewers, olive bowls and beef tartare.

A new French restaurant at Borough Market
A new neighbourhood restaurant at Borough Market, Camille brings imagined jaunts of regional France to Stoney Street.
The menu from head chef Elliot Hashtroudi celebrates the magic of seasonal and locally grown produce – his simple approach to cooking captures the rustic energy of a regional French table.
From the owners of Ducksoup, Little Duck and Emilia, Camille offers an intimate bistro-style dining space with a small bar and window counter seating as the backdrop to their a-la-carte menu and daily specials board – you’ll find a weekly changing menu of wines by the glass and bottle from small independent wine-makers, too.
