Chef Hugues Mbenda, who hails from Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of the Congo), crafts a single set menu comprised of several courses that changes every fortnight and features Mediterranean ingredients, African influences and French know-how: manioc crisps with sweet chilli and burnt onion cream; shoulder of Sisteron lamb, gnocchi of plantain banana and confit lemon. The ingredients are fresh, the plating is spot on and the flavours cosmopolitan. At lunchtime, Libala, the chef's cross-cultural street food restaurant, has a simpler menu.
