Mediterranean Restaurants in Shoreditch
1. Popolo
Italian restaurant in Shoreditch
26 Rivington Street - EC2
“A find!” – “Sit at the ground-floor kitchen bar for a fun, close up experience” at this sophisticated Shoreditch joint, where Jon Lawson and his team provide accomplished sharing plates (often with Moorish touches) and deliver them in a “knowledgeable and friendly” manner. But ratings took a hit this year, with the odd review referring to cost-of-living concerns: “most of the food is excellent but the size of the portions for the price charged was ridiculously small and felt like a starter at the price of a main. For the premium cost, you might expect comfy seating too!”
2. Lilienblum
Israeli restaurant in
80 City Road - EC1Y
Israeli chef-restaurateur Eyal Shani has followed up pitta specialist Miznon, in Soho and Notting Hill, with this very different, more formal concept off the Old Street roundabout on the edge of the City. Opened (after our survey concluded) in late May 2023, it serves sharing plates from a menu divided by ingredients rather than courses. A very early June 2023 verdict from The Standard’s Jimi Famurewa was mixed: “Shani’s undeniable genius” is still present, “dishes were still cooked with unexpected flair, potency and restraint” but the “vast, echoing barn of a new-build space” does Lilienblum no favours, nor does the “menu construction” (split by ingredients with “wearying zaniness of… descriptions”).
