Two Lights

Absolutely amazing all the way around. I liked the simple interior, reminded of a local joint in NYC, nice room, simple but well done. Service was very nice and attentive without being intrusive. Everything we had was fantastic. It’s great to see creative cooking without being too fussy. It was not complex creations, but they were creative and unique and wonderful. The flatbread with ceps was so rich, it would be good for sharing. The Artichoke was the star, charred and smokey, with lemon and something else, but the whole flavour and presentation was a show stopper. Don’t bother with the miso dip that comes with it, it’s not needed (but it’s tasty if you want to try it) The tartrate in the cheddar popover was great, and a fun take on the typical dish. We shared the large plate of the Fried chicken which was awesome, more than enough to share. I can’t recommend checking this place out enough.

This is hands down my favourite restaurant in London. We keep coming back for more, and despite trying some of the more hyped restaurants in East London, nothing has compared. The staff are lovely fun, and the chefs know how to make you have an experience with your taste buds, beyond that of several Michelin star restaurants I’ve been to. The Gnudi is trippy - it brings you on this journey from the wood fired mountain smokiness, down to Toscany with this sauce filled gnocchi-like glory, to southern Italy with its perfect blushes tomatoes, pesto and pine nuts. Everyone who comes gets addicted to the artichoke. The potato bread and butter is like heroin, the crab, the fried chicken and the lamb also divine. Great wine selection, and the smoked bacon old-fashioned blows your mind.
