Blacklockīlacklock is the place to get a great steak in Shoreditch. We’ve been known to rave about their lamb terrine and suckling pig – but if you only take one tip it should be this…. The meat is tender, gently marinated and so. Start your meal off with one of their pisco sours, and then move on to their octopus or beef heart skewers. This authentic, classy restaurant offers flavours that you won’t find anywhere else outside Lima. CrispinĪ post shared by Andina London you love Peruvian food, you won’t find a better place to eat dinner in Shoreditch than Andina. It’s one of the area’s coolest all-day dining spots. By contrast, the Spicy Tuna Dragon rolls with their avocado and spicy mayo offer a more complex delight – an ever-changing kaleidoscope of flavour that leaves us with genuine sorrow once finished. The Yellowtail Sashimi is rich and fatty – gone in a few indulgent bites. The faint smell of charring from the robata grill is filled with promise – a promise they more than deliver on as dish after dish lands on our table – meltingly tender pork belly skewers, a small pile of grilled cauliflower sprinkled with black sesame – it is, in short, a delight.Īway from the grill, go to Apothecary for some of the best sushi and sashimi you can lay your hands on in the city. The extensive Japanese-inspired small plates menu is executed to perfection. It’s a poor Shoreditch restaurant that relies on looks alone though, and luckily for all of us, Apothecary does not.

Dark wood, carved screens, curved tables – it looks every inch the Japanese Izakaya meets Shoreditch warehouse chic that it is. The first thing that strikes you when you enter Apothecary is just how cool the cavernous space looks. Try their massive bowl of carbonara served in an actual hollowed-out parmesan wheel (drool), homemade pizza, or authentic Italian desserts. This premier Italian restaurant in Shoreditch strikes a beautiful balance between eclectic and elegant and offers restaurant-goers a warm, sophisticated spot to relax for lunch or dinner. Of all the places to eat in the area, Gloria is one of the most famous thanks to its OTT style and hearty Italian plates. It’s fresh, light, and served with a delicious sauce. If you’re feeling a little adventurous, try their octopus takoyaki. Their ramen is spectacular, and it comes in a large portion that’s perfect for sharing (or, if you’re like us, just gobbling up yourself). The chefs at Shoryu showcase traditional Japanese cuisine, preparing their Tonkotsu ramen, gyoza, and fried chicken the same way they do in Tokyo. There is no shortage of excellent restaurants in Shoreditch, but if you’re looking for authentic Japanese ramen, Shoryu is the place to go.

Stand-out dishes include the sea bass, spelt biscuits, and chocolate and caramel brown butter cake. Vegetarians are made very welcome too, as they offer both vegetarian and vegan versions of their classic tasting menus.

The latter may very well be the closest thing you can have to a culinary adventure in the area. You can choose a la carte items or opt for a multi-course tasting menu. This Shoreditch gem has a lovely, laid back, chic atmosphere and an attentive staff who are happy to explain any aspect of the menu to you. A post shared by Lyle’s to Lyles for the phenomenal service, excellent food, and vast wine list.
