George PurFebruary 25, 2015Relaxed atmosphere, fantastic service, great steak for the price - chocolate fondant was awesome! We sat by the kitchen bar and chatted with one of the chefs as he worked, so cool! Very impressed
Slynky CatOctober 29, 2017Gorgeous design & interiors. Moreish truffle popcorn. Excellent Bloody Mary. Sit by the kitchen & watch the chefs prepare beautifully plated meals. The pea, broad bean & spinach risotto is great
Joyce IpDecember 20, 2015Lovely meal located at the heart of Spitalfield. Yummy truffle popcorn and quinoa salad for starters, with sea bream and Strozzapretti as main. Fantastic lunch with the loved one
Daren WilliamsFebruary 18, 2018Modern creative food, friendly service, and great design and space. Highlight dishes: jerusalem artichoke risotto, roast chicken and chocolate mousse.
MaríaApril 3, 2016Get a table at the jungle room for a decadent Sunday branch. I had eggs on sourdough even if that wasn't on the menu. And mimosas, plenty of mimosas.
Kristina PhamNovember 15, 2015Had something from both the breakfast menu and lunch menu (so brunch but not really haha), everything was really good I enjoyed it. Waiters have a sense of humour which is nice
- George PurFebruary 25, 2015Great steak for the price, chocolate fondant was awesome! Amazing selection of wines, relaxed atmosphere and genuinely perfect service. Easily one of the best dinners I've had around Spitalfields
Rohini WahiAugust 21, 2016The interiors and at atmosphere. If Anthropologie had a restaurant this would be it. Steak and french fries, brunch and tea is simple and good. Come here more for the impressive interiors
•Antranik•July 22, 2019Nice brunch spot - beautifully decorated, laid-back atmosphere. Service is lovely, prices are on the higher end and food is satisfying although there's room for refinement.
LMMay 3, 2018Such a lovely restaurant in Old Spitalfields Market. I can honestly say that this was the best risotto I’ve ever had!
Julia CastMay 7, 2017Had pancakes, chorizo bites and potato rosti with avocado! All amazing :) also, the decor is really nice
Jackie BrownJuly 5, 2016Fantastic brunch!! Make sure you ask for a table in the garden area, such a beautiful green space in the middle of the market.- Friederike WildFebruary 21, 2016They have more seatings in the basement Cocktail bar. Nice classy atmosphere and a short but creative cocktails menu.
Johannes DriessenDecember 16, 2015Mostly lives up to the hype. The garden is a great place to unwind from the city over lunch
yelena_April 20, 2015newly opened beautiful garden out back, lovely decor, great straightforward food
Yuriy MApril 10, 2016Kale salad + chicken was bland and wet - not a success. The lamb was a better choice, but also fairly average unfortunately! Smoothies were great - those we can recommend!
Laura LDecember 22, 2015Really nice cocktails and ambience. I got the lamb shoulder - it was well cooked but not seasoned so bit bland 😧
Burt SimpsonMarch 30, 2017The place was foggy as the kitchen extractors weren't working, my clothes will stink for a week. I was asked twice whether I wanted the burger "pink in the middle". It was burned. A Brit disaster.
Rei AyanamiMarch 20, 2016Not a great steak I have to say... And nog very accommodating if you want to ditch the fries the steak comes with for a healthier salad/green option
Em JacksonOctober 30, 2016Very disappointed with our lunch here, we were a table of 9 on a pretty quiet day. The service was very slow, over an hour for the food which turned up cold and extremely over salted. Not a return to.
Chris R (thechristophe)July 31, 2016Stodgy pancakes, chaotic service (literally had things landing on our table from staff bashing into each other), smoothie was overpowered by tarragon - tasted more like gazpacho. Avoid.
WishlistEtcMay 25, 2015Potato rosti and smoothies are good. I found the baked eggs very average and service was very slow. Nice backyard though.
