A retro shopfront (left behind by a 1940s car showroom) adds to the street cred of this well-known East End foodie hotspot (linked to Westerns Laundry and Jolene). Its fashionable combination of small plates served with natural wines doesn’t inspire as much feedback in our annual diners’ poll as its fooderati renown might imply, but is all positive.

A “good local bistro with a short but punchy menu”, set in a 1940s car showroom between Highbury and Stoke Newington. “The sort of place where you happily over-order because you want to try as many things as possible – and nothing disappoints.” The same team are behind the nearby Westerns Laundry and Jolene bakery.

High quality ‘bistronomy’ wins praise for this communal-table and low-intervention-wine venue, set inside a 1920s car garage between Highbury and Stoke Newington. “I love the fact that the menu is small and things occasionally run out towards the end of the night” – a clear indication that the produce is fresh and not stored for long.

A 1920s former car garage provides an “unusual” setting for this Stoke Newington fringe haunt, whose “look and feel (with most people at communal tables, or on counters with stools) works well”, despite it being “crammed” and with “a high noise-level”. There’s quite a “traditional”, ‘bistronomy-style’ menu, from which everything’s “well-cooked”, and there’s an “interesting” list of wines (low intervention, naturellement).

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
