Two London restaurants have been named in the 50 best in the world
Every year, the prestigious World's 50 Best holds a ceremony to crown the 50 very best restaurants on the planet. Earlier this month the extended list (from 51 to 100) was revealed, and two London restos featured. Now the top 50 has been unveiled at an awards ceremony in Turin. Now in its 23rd year, the 2025 list comprises eateries from 32 cities and 22 countries, with 10 new entries and four re-entries. In the ranking, two London restaurants were crowned as one of the world's 50 best in 2025. High-end Mexican restaurant Kol came in 49th place. The Michelin-starred spot in Marylebone is known for its impeccable presentation, and for making Mexican dishes with British ingredients. Helmed by ex-Noma and Noma Mexico chef Santiago Lastra, some of Kol's best-renowned dishes include a langoustine taco, and a whole grilled octopus with bone marrow. The other London restaurant to make the list was Ikoyi, coming in 15th place. According to the World's 50 Best, co-founders Jeremy Chan and Iré Hassan-Odukale have 'created a culinary style that defies categorisation'. The swish joint on the Strand blends West African and Asian spices with British vegetables, meat and fish to create a unique blind tasting menu. Stand out dishes include a refined take on jollof rice and the plantain dish, which has taken on different iterations over the years. When Time Out visited Ikoyi when it opened in 2017, we called it 'a thrilling anomaly even in London's diverse food scene'. Check out the full list on the World's 50 Best website here.

Get ready for 'Minecraft': one of 2025's biggest movies is now streaming
Parents, get the tarps, because it's about to start raining popcorn all over your living room floor. A Minecraft Movie, the big-screen adaptation of the crazy-popular block-stacking video game, is streaming on HBO Max starting Friday, June 20. When the film hit theaters back in April, it flummoxed many observers by becoming the first true box-office sensation of 2025. It's the highest-grossing US domestic release of the year, earning $423.8 million in the US and $953.5 million globally, good for second-place worldwide, behind China's Ne Zha 2. Not only that, the now-famous 'Chicken Jockey' scene sparked a TikTok trend, while the Jack Black-sung jingle 'Steve's Lava Chicken' became the shortest song to ever chart in the Billboard Hot 100, clocking in at 34 seconds long. So what the heck is A Minecraft Movie about? Well, it stars Jason Momoa as a former video game champion, who, along with some kids from their tiny Idaho town, travel into the colourful world of the game and find themselves at war with an army of porcine Piglins – with an assist from a guy named Steve (Black), who's been trapped in the cube-shaped world for years. Maybe that sounds headache-inducing for adults, but it's really pretty fun. TimeOut put it this way: '[A]t heart what [director Jared Hess] has crafted is a goofy and genuinely quite loveable homage to the '80s 'quest' movie. Think Willow, think Labyrinth, think The NeverEnding Story, think Legend.' In any case, it doesn't really matter what you think: A Minecraft Movie might qualify as the first true Gen Z event movie. And if you've got a kid and an HBO Max subscription, prepare to find it on your TV a lot in the near future. Stream it here starting June 20.
