Utku Can

This new spot by chef James Lowe is quickly becoming a brilliant showcase of modern British cuisine . While that may come as no surprise, they're also serving some of the best coffee in Shoreditch.

Rylan Holey

I highly recommend this East London fine dining experience. The menu changes daily and is full of surprises - including a few courses that aren't advertised. Perfect for a special occasion .

Natalie Liu

Looooove this place! Everything’s perfect, food, vibe, service, everything. I ordered the monkfish for lunch , and it’s absolutely amazing. Best fish dish I’ve tasted for years. Licking plate LOL

Nikki

Menu changes daily but we lived the duck hearts with sweet corn as well as the beef and mussel tartare . Order extra appetizers and share them - at dinner it's a set tasting menu

Daren Williams

Seasonal British cuisine, 4 course menu that changes daily. Great combination of flavours in each dish. Highlights were the duck and the espresso meringue

Daren Williams

High quality coffee served at the bar - take a seat and ask the barista what filter coffees are on offer. Espresso , flat white , etc, available too.

Ed George

They have a secret coffee bar during the day serving coffees from the likes of Koppi. Had a selection of the small starter plates for lunch which were all excellent. Decor is St. John chic . v cool.

Thiago Maia

Great ingredients, well plated and amazing taste. What else you could ask for. Order few plates and share to be able to taste all.

Ed George

Have the filter coffee , it's wonderful (and still a fairly rare thing) to get decent coffee at end of meal for once. At £39 for 5 courses it's great value showcasing some decent modern British cuisine

David Rosenberg

You can't go wrong here but rejoice extra hard if the sardines on toast or the netil soup are on the menu. And if you like Vermouth try an Americano before dins.

Edoardo Portoraro

Traditional English menu with an acidity and earthy print.The price is a little bit high, but overall I’d say 7.5/10 I didn’t like the 1£ for charity that was added, without my consensus, to the bill.

Clay Vickers

Michelin 1 star. Pretty clean , sterile decor. Quick service . They only do a set menu for dinner which actually makes things easier and fast!

Nikhil Varty

One of THE best dining experiences ever … food was phenomenal… service was OUTSTANDING… Patrick was superb, knowledgeable , friendly and patiently explained everything … Thanks

Gary Simmons

“Chef James Lowe’s food represents an evolution of British cuisine from sturdy nose-to-tail cooking to an elegant celebration of the delicacy of the English seasons.” - David Prior Read more

Devin Hunt

For lunch , just get two small plates per person. You will have a feast for cheap . Coffee is amazing here, so save some room at the end.

Little Scrapes

Delicious and innovative 5 course fixed tasting menu . Worth it as a treat or if someone else is paying. Sets a high bar for a first date.

Ben K.

One of London's best new restaurants . Really smart cooking here, and comes as an affordable price fixed meal.

Bhavani Esapathi

Don't even think about going in if you've accidentally worn denim on the day, the pretentiousness doesn't end with coffee nonetheless good coffee & the barista behind the bar is really friendly .

clive kornitzer

Great food vibe and service interestingly wine list the ox tail and marrow crumpets were the standout dish for me

Antonia Strotdrees

AMAZING! Just lean back and enjoy all the menu has to offer. Delicious natural wines !

Simon Wüthrich

One of my favorites in London. Quite innovative but down to earth British cuisine. Very good value for your money.

Kay Teo

There’s a coffee bar here in the morning serving one of London’s best single origin pour overs.

Jo Rasheed

Simplicity on the menu and space ????+ great coffee

Shane Boyle

Lol that this has only an 8. Rated one of the world’s best and for what it is, you cannot beat the price.

Stijn Ortega coppin

Interesting excersise in deconstructed food. The menu was honestly hit and miss 50/50. Would ultimately not return quickly. The wine list doesn't perfectly compliment the ever changing menus.

K

Delicious seasonal menu . Couldn't move after all the courses. They let you share glasses of wine - I recommend doing that!

Allan Sheriff

Great quality food, but heavy on the cheese during my dinner menu . Would love to go back for an a la carte lunch .

Mihnea Miculescu

They do a fixed dinner menu and it changes fairly often - the food does not disappoint and neither does their wine selection .

Angela Liu

Trendy modern british food with a daily changing menu . Food was okay and definitely on the salty side. Service was very slow too

Berend Van Zanten

Very good value for money . Interesting combinations of food within a casual atmosphere .

Thomas Parisot

Extraordinary food experience! A delicate mix of textures and flavours.

Nicholas Thompson

Wonderful service, creative menu! Will definitely be back!

Ashley Chan

I don’t understand the hype. Every dish was extremely plain and disappointing. Smoked salmon , pea salad ...really? The only redeeming factor was the blackcurrant dessert which was actually phenomenal.

Chi Park

They have a very nice monkfish plate! Must try

Vivian Tan

Hidden good coffee place ! I hope they serve breakfast , then it would be perfect.

Kitt Hod

If the Jerusalem artichoke is on the menu, you want a reservation pronto!

JC

Fresh ingredients and flavors but 2/6 dishes were really really salty

Nuvola Bianca Tivoli

On the $$$ but excellent. If only I could afford it more often.

Rhodes Edewor-Thorley

Coffee and the food

Steffi C

Fantastic flatwhite

Deniz Ozger

We tried 6 starters and all of them were exceptioal.

Simon Beckerman

They only have a fixed menu but it's great.

Kay Teo

Healthy light food

Ceren

You should go :)

Devin Hunt

It's worth popping in just for a take away coffee .

Geonaima T

Outstanding minimal taste maximum pleasure

Brahim Bahmad

I was very very disappointed!!65th restaurant in the world really? 1 star Michelin? Bad service, the food was just ok..I don't know if it was a bad day for the chef and his team but really bad night!

Stefan Agius

Some good stuff happening here

Leonardo Resende

The food was not good. It was either oily, salty or burnt. Definitely does not shine as a Michelin star .
