West African Cuisine is not something one would usually attend to when looking for a restaurant to dine out at. However, this particular one is not only sleek and appealing in design but also earned a Michelin star for its excellent menu in 2024. Located in Fitzrovia, Akoko blends live-fire cooking with the founder, Aji Akokomi’s, experience from his West African heritage. You’ll get to choose between a regular, pescetarian or vegetarian menu – all equally mouthwatering. And, all three menus go well along with their suggested wine or cocktail pairing. Let us tell you that you’ll be impressed by the tastes of West Africa.
