Gloria

London, UK

Gloria is a recent addition to the Shoreditch scene, with quite a different positioning. Inspired by 70s Capri (one of our most favorite places on earth), Gloria is a bold, colourful, vibrant, noisy, and happening Italian trattoria. Serving all the traditional dishes we love, the atmosphere is completed by some less “traditional” tunes playing later in the evening, best enjoyed with some of Gloria’s amazing cocktails. Difficult to book in advance, your best bet is just to walk-in, sip a glass of wine at the bar waiting for your table and enjoy the scene.

Restaurant

Opso

London, UK

Set in Marylebone, Opso is a corner of mediterranean sunshine in the heart of London. Serving updated traditional Greek dishes, tapas-style, the atmosphere is lively (even if sometimes almost noisy)… A good place to make the summer last a little longer.

Restaurant

Delamina East

London, UK

Delamina East, in Spitafields between Shoreditch and the City, serves traditional but perfectly executed Eastern Mediterranean / Middle Eastern cooking. Think roasted vegetables, slow cooked meats, spices, herbs, more spices and more herbs. The setting is also a reflection of the menu: traditional accents but modern and different without being pretentious. And the atmosphere is as delightful as a long summer evening in that part of the world…

Restaurant

Queen of Hoxton Rooftop

London, UK

This is not a place you go to for the food. This is a place you go to for the setting, a quirky rooftop at the border between the City and Shoreditch, surrounded by high-rises. A place you go to for the “efficient” cocktails and for the vibe on a nice spring / summer evening. A different experience…

Restaurant/Bar

Blanchette Brick Lane

London, UK

Not exactly the type of restaurant you would expect to find on Brick Lane, Blanchette is the result of the collaboration of 3 brothers, delivering what looks like a traditional French experience with a definite “je ne sais quoi”. Mixing Southern French and North African influences, Blanchette is a great surprise in this edgy part of Shoreditch.

Restaurant

Dinings

London, UK

One of the first restaurants in London combining traditional Japanese sushi (Izakaya) with modern European influences more than 10 years ago, Dinings remains a reference to this day. In particular their original location in Marylebone, in a small non-commercial side street, housing their tiny first restaurant. Would really recommend to seat upstairs at the bar. The food is as spectacular downstairs, but the space can be a little “tight”. The original Dinings is certainly not a scene, but definitely a culinary experience.

Restaurant

Oklava

London, UK

Surprise of a modern turkish restaurant in the heart of Shoreditch. Traditional recipes beautifully executed in a modern manner. While remaining genuine.

Restaurant

Pomona's

London, UK

California cooking inspired, Pomona’s is not your usual London / Notting Hill restaurant. The combination of healthy “but” tasty dishes with a beautiful private garden for alfresco lunching / dining make a for a great neighbourhood restaurant.

Restaurant

Mazi

London, UK

Mazi is a modern, fresh and welcoming Greek restaurant in the heart of Notting Hill. The dishes even though inspired by traditional recipes are executed with a creative flair without being pretentious. And in the summer, the outdoor garden would get you to forget the actual location of the haven.

Restaurant

E&O

London, UK

In a city where everything changes all the time, here is an institution which has kept its game for more than 15 years. E&O mixes pan-asian dishes (from truffle sea bass sashimi to more traditional pad thais and curries) in a sophisticated but cool atmosphere, helped by the constant buzz in the bar area.
