Michelin-starred restaurant in [[Locale Shoreditch|Shoreditch]]. It's located in part of the old Tea Building, with its own entrance on Bethnal Green Road (don't be fooled by the address). Inside it's very similar to [[St John, EC1M 4AY|St John]] (one of the owners was the head chef at St John Bread & Wine), with white tiled walls, a polished floor, simple wooden furniture and an open kitchen. The menu is similarly 'simple', leaving the curious diner to guess what might appear when given the names of 2 or 3 ingredients. [[Kat]] and Rick visited for lunch in February 2018. The lunch menu is a small plates setup — our server recommended sharing 3 smaller dishes (around £10-£15 each) and 2 larger ones (around £25 each) between us. (Dinner is apparently very different, with no choice at all except the daily omnivorous/vegetarian tasting menus.) All the dishes we chose were very enjoyable: my favourite though was an oxtail crumpet (£13), extremely rich and savoury, almost like marmite. The wine list had a good range of prices and styles — our server was knowledgeable and happy to discuss pairings with us. We opted to splash out on a bottle of Bedeau pinot noir (£75) and it complemented our dishes very well. Most importantly of all, they did us a proper cup of builder's tea (just as we'd requested) at the end of the meal. Service was excellent — friendly, attentive but not intrusive. Sparkling water and bread were provided free of charge. The bill came to around £100/head including service (and expensive wine!) — I thought this was about right given the quality of both the ingredients and the cooking. [[Kat]]'s verdict: I loved it — great food and a casual atmosphere. I'd definitely come back. Accessibility: A low, wide step to get in. Once inside it's flat throughout. Toilet cubicles were modern and spacious.
