All hail the mighty truffle

Nothing says winter like the unmistakable waft of truffle. Fragrant, rich and pricey, it’s one of the most luxurious ingredients out there. The ancient Greeks called it the food of the gods – a title upheld today by its legions of fans. As food writer Rowan Jacobsen told us: ‘Truffles have been revered as having the greatest aroma of any natural food since Ancient Roman times, and they have been a staple on luxury restaurant tables since the 1800s.’ With truffle season just arrived, we’ve rounded up the best places to eat it across the capital.
Where To Eat Truffle in London For 2025
Sale e Pepe
Knightsbridge stalwart Sale e Pepe has been serving high-end Italian fare since the 1970s, so of course truffle features on the menu come autumn time. This year, there are four specials to choose from, each topped with black or white truffle. Start your meal with beef carpaccio and rocket, or treat yourself to a buttery linguine topped with parmigiano. There’s also beef fillet with red wine sauce, plus a vanilla semifreddo with strawberries for dessert – because yes, truffle tastes good with sweet stuff too. Each dish comes with a suggested wine pairing suggestion from Massolino, one of the top wineries in Barolo.

Luxurious twists feature throughout the menu of Mayfair members’ club The Twenty Two – there’s caviar toast, for instance, and lobster paccheri. But this season, truffle is the focus, specifically the Alba white truffle – one of the most prestigious types out there, hailing from the Piedmont region of Italy and known for its intense flavour. Here, it’s used to top dishes like champagne, parmesan and risotto, Clarence Court egg with wild mushrooms, and fettuccine.

Truffle season is always big at Soho’s Italian restaurant Bocca di Lupo, which is inviting guests to bring their own.

The team will clean your truffles and shave them atop any dish on the menu – with certain items marked out with a T to show they will pair particularly well with the rich flavour. Highlights include veal battuto (hand-chopped tartare) and mushroom risotto with porcini.
