A favourite of the late, great restaurant critic AA Gill because of its focus on honest home cooking and young wines, this chic bistro has been drawing well-heeled foodies to the Fulham Road since 2012.
Named after the honey which is only produced in New Zealand’s East Cape and is famous for its healing properties, a meal here will leave you feeling satisfyingly rejuvenated. The menu largely focuses on modern European plates such as mussels with crispy fries, steak tartare and grilled pepper salad laced with pickled lemon and tahini.
If you can’t choose, opt for the signature dishes. Salmon cured in the eponymous honey sings alongside pink grapefruit and peppery radish, while wagyu beef bolognaise is as comforting as a hot bath on a chilly evening.
The terracotta tiles on the floor hide a decadent secret. 510 Below is an intimate gin bar with superb attention to detail. Ice cubes are double frozen to prevent them from watering down drinks, while the tonic is always Fever-Tree.

A very successful dining experience! I had often passed this restaurant and always seen it was full so had been intrigued to try it. Loved the coziness and intimacy of the place, perfect for a date night. Highlights were the squid, the Jacobs ladder (falling off the bone), Hake and cheeses with dessert wine. Yum! Will definitely go back again. Would be a great addition to have a side menu or board for the specials.

Wonderful food and wonderful service in a lovely venue. Neighbourhood restaurant serving up some fantastic food. We had pumpkin and squid, steak and hake and cheese and creme brûlée for dessert. All delicious, especially surprised by the pumpkin. Lovely attentive service by Roberto and Dinate without being overbearing. Definitely recommend and would like to try again for brunch or lunch as well!

My partner and I rocked up to this restaurant on a Friday evening- not expecting much. However the food was exquisite- highly recommend the squid dish! There were cheesy music at the background and gentle candle light on the table so it was quite a romantic ambience. We would be back!

The food and service was fantastic and the small restaurant has bags of character.

We were so looking forward to trying Manuka Kitchen as many friends had recommended it. When we arrived we were welcomed by the owner of the restaurant who was really friendly and helpful. The wine was absolutely delicious and recommended by the owner which was a nice touch. The food... we ordered aranchini and calamari both could have been amazing but they were both totally unseasoned, such a little thing but it can make all the difference! We both ordered the steak mine was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection! unfortunately my partners steak was a chewy cut, we can not blame anyone for this...these things happen and it was just a bit unfortunate however the owner was very understanding and compensated for this dish. We will definitely be back again, perhaps later in the evening when there is more atmosphere!.

I greatly enjoyed the dinner at my local Manuka Kitchen. My steak was tender and prepared to my taste. My companion's moules were yummy as well. We shared chocolate truffles which were delicious and beautifully presented. Service was attentive and friendly, I felt very welcome. Great spot!
