A cult-classic East London neighborhood bistro serving hyper-seasonal small plates and natural wines to a cool crowd backed by a vinyl soundtrack.
Ordering Strategy
The menu is hyper-seasonal and changes daily. Plan for a sharing style with snacks, starters, and the essential pasta course. Lean heavily into the natural wine list.
What to order
Parmesan Fritters
Cited as a menu classic; crispy balls of white-hot cheese under a snowfall of parmesan.
Seasonal Pasta
As a 'mecca' for produce-driven modern European cooking, the daily handmade pasta remains the essential choice for a satisfying meal.
Fresh Mozzarella
A single 125g milky-white sphere served at room temperature with Sicilian olive oil; a 'deranged enterprise' involving flying them from Italy that confused even celebrated French chefs who didn't 'get it'.
