Nigerian-born Adejoké “Joké” Bakare made history this year when she became the first Black woman in the UK to win a Michelin star. Her restaurant, Chishuru, only opened in its current stage in 2023—moving from the buzzy South London neighborhood where Bakare started out after winning a local competition in 2019 to a new, bigger spot. This new iteration of the restaurant is set menu only ($95 per person at supper; $50 per person at lunch). That menu takes diners on a whip-smart journey through modern West African cuisine and might include pepper soup with cured mackerel or mutton cutlet with a coffee and yaji dressing. Make a reservation now, and don’t look back. —Sarah Allard
