Bistroteque, Bethnal Green
At the vanguard of the hipster revolution in the East End, Bistrotheque still cuts the mustard 10 years later. Carmody Groarke is the studio behind the memorable interior, which features a massive open plan first floor with dining area, rectangular bar and kitchen existing in perfect, whitewashed harmony. Walk-ins can eat at the bar, which is a good option at busy times. There’s also the option to rent the downstairs Private Dining Room for functions and large parties of publicity-shy diners.
