Cheers to National Tequila Day! (Picture: Supplied)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Welcome back to The Slice<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s National Tequila Day tomorrow and we’re celebrating hard at The Slice. So if the weather<\/a> isn’t doing anything to pick you up, at least a few sips of tequila will. Treat yourself to Mango Margaritas at Pergola Brixton and a Chilli and Cherry Margarita at the Miris y Ma\u00edz Paradise pop-up. Plus, we’re telling you exactly where to find two for the price of one.<\/p>\n

We’re also trying not one but three new restaurant openings we’d be mad not to tell you about. Read on for our honest review of sleek seafood bistro Noisy Oyster, bakery-restaurant hybrid Hello Jojo and ZULA Burger all the way over from Istanbul<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This week in London <\/h2>\n

If you’re looking for something to do this weekend, here are 13 of the best activities, dining, and drinking spots in the capital.<\/p>\n

1. Eat oysters at the most chic spot in Shoreditch <\/h2>\n
\n
\n\t\t\"Oysters\t<\/div>
‘The mini martinis are so smooth and delicious that I have to ration my sips’ (Picture: Supplied)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

By Lola Christina Alao<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

I could have sworn I’d walked into an art gallery when I turned into Nicholls Clarke Yard in Shoreditch, home to Noisy Oyster. The monochrome, futuristic space wouldn’t look out of place at Tate Modern. But the food is still the Beyonc\u00e9<\/a> of the night. The ultra-sleek new seafood spot is brought to you by Anna Dolgushina and Madina Kazhimova, the duo behind Soho\u2019s Firebird.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The mini martinis are so smooth and delicious that I have to ration my sips, while oysters are served two ways: classic with shallot vinegar and lemon or dressed with smoked tomato water and horseradish cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche. <\/p>\n

As an oyster newbie, I play it simple. A luxurious bed of five oysters arrive, some from Cornwall and some from Ireland. ‘If I don’t like them, at least they were nice to look at,’ I thought. Spoiler: I loved them. The Cornish oysters are smaller and more briny, but both are refreshingly tasty.<\/p>\n

The rest of the dishes look handcrafted by God (and taste like it too): neon orange salmon roe sitting on top of creamy whipped butter and Guinness bread. Oh-so-crispy hasselback potato on top of generous lashings of bottarga and sour cream. And a sultry dessert I can’t turn down: irresistible bites of vanilla soft serve with brown butter caramel, churros and caviar. A salty-sweet pairing of dreams. We’re making some noise about Noisy Oyster… we want everyone to know about it. <\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcb8 Oysters from \u00a35.50, starters from \u00a310, mains from \u00a316<\/strong>. 2, Nicholls Clarke Yard, Shoreditch, E1 6SH<\/a><\/strong>. Book here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

2. Try Camberwell’s bakery-restaurant hybrid Hello Jojo<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
\n\t\t\"The\t<\/div>
‘There are some absolute stunners on the menu’ (Picture: Supplied)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

By Sophie Laughton<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not really a secret anymore, but it\u2019s about time I wrote about it after eating my way along it for three years. Home to the likes of Silk Road, Theos Pizzeria, and the formidable Camberwell Arms, Camberwell\u2019s Church Street can confidently claim to be one of London\u2019s foodiest roads. The newest neighbour on the block, Hello Jojo, fits right in. It\u2019s easy to spot with its bright blue facade and jolly red windows \u2013 and the colourful, characterful setting is a hint of the sheer joie de vivre in their cooking.<\/p>\n

There are some absolute stunners on the menu: a huge hunk of warm ripple bread, pickled and saut\u00e9ed courgettes over fresh ditalini pasta, and a surprising Bunny Chow doughnut (curried aubergine in a pastry? It works). My new favourite dessert is down to an underground South London honey network that apparently shows up at the back door to supply the restaurant \u2013 a pretty pale honey custard and jelly studded with tiny elderflower petals (you can try out their honey buns in the morning \u2013 Hello Jojo\u2019s a bakery too). Throw in the fact the house wine is \u00a36 and the prices actually match the size of the plates and there\u2019s no surprise why they\u2019ve had a very warm welcome so far.<\/p>\n

Snacks from \u00a34, mains from \u00a38, desserts from \u00a38. 31 Camberwell Church St, Camberwell, SE5 8TR<\/a>. Book here<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

3. See how SEALIFE London and Resting Reef are turning memories into marine restoration<\/strong><\/h2>\n

SEA LIFE London and Resting Reef have teamed up to explore new ways to restore the endangered marine habitats, with families having their loved ones’ ashes made into reef structures. <\/p>\n

You can see the two coral reef displays at SEA LIFE London now, one of which is the largest clownfish tank in the UK. Find out more<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. Try Istanbul burger chain ZULA <\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
\n\t\t\"A\t<\/div>
‘The hidden gem of the small menu, however, is the frankfurter’ (Picture: Supplied)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

By Ross McCafferty<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

When you hear \u2018popular Istanbul chain comes to London\u2019 your mind immediately goes to the arm-based seasoning exploits of Salt Bae and his overpriced, Insta-friendly steaks. Nothing could be further from the vibe at newly-opened burger joint ZULA, in a bright airy space a stone\u2019s throw from Marble Arch station. There may have been something of a backlash against brioche in recent years, but at ZULA they are unapologetic about making their freshly baked brioche rolls the centrepiece of their burger offering.<\/p>\n

I tried the basic burger (standard cheese, caramelised onion, pickle, and truffle mayo) and the fake mac (as the name suggests, a twist on the McDonald\u2019s classic Big Mac). Both burgers are fresh and tasty, though the buns are a little too <\/em>overwhelming for the relatively thin, if obviously high-quality, patty. <\/p>\n

The hidden gem of the small menu, however, is the frankfurter, a flavourful hot dog on a halved brioche bun with a fantastic mustard, relish, cheese and herbs topping. \u00a315 for a basic burger and (admittedly delicious) cajun fries might not feel like the best value, but for London in 2025, and the speed of service and quality of the food, it\u2019s pretty decent.<\/p>\n

Burgers from \u00a310.50. Frankfurter hot dog, \u00a310.50<\/strong>.  5 Old Quebec St, Marble Arch, W1H 7AF<\/a><\/strong>. Just walk in!<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. Go big celebrating National Tequila Day at these bars<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
\n\t\t\"A\t<\/div>

Madera at Treehouse London <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Best for: stunning views<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

And this is a fiesta we just can’t refuse, with 2-for-1 margaritas, like the Toca (with el rayo blanco, fresh lime juice, agave and lava salt) and the Hibiscus (volcan blanco, cucumber, hibiscus, basil and lime). All at one of the most stunning spots in London, with 360-views over the city and beautiful green foliage.<\/p>\n

From \u00a316 for two margaritas. Madera at Treehouse. Book here<\/a>. <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Expect expertly crafted cocktails that scream summer, like the Sparkling Elderflower Paloma and the Mango Margarita. Plus, when you’re peckish, pop to Mexican spot Jalisco and enjoy some Mexican dishes. <\/p>\n

Cocktails from \u00a311.50. Pergola Brixton. Book here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Miris y Ma\u00edz at Paradise<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Best for: the fusion of the summer<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

A six-week summer residency lands at Paradise from 24 July. Expect a blend of Sri Lankan and Mexican flavours, like the coal roasted prawn with ancho-chilli. <\/p>\n

Plus a unique take on tequila classic cocktails just in time for National Tequila Day \u2013 including a Chilli and Cherry Margarita, elevated with arrack, malu-miris chilli, pepper, chipotle and oat milk.<\/p>\n
