With all the news of closures, it's particularly good to hear about a restaurant that was thought to be closed forever actually returning. Wander, one of Stoke Newington's most well-renowned restaurants originally announced its closure when owner Alexis Noble said she was returning to Australia. But now she's back and reopening the restaurant.
In an Instagram post, she said "When I announced Wander was closing in Sept, I was 100% ready to go home for good. I’d prepared the restaurant for sale & even showed the property to some agents. However our final months of service with all our amazing regulars made me realise this restaurant is my home and I was not ready to leave."
It seems that family issues and visas put paid to that initially. However, visa problems are now sorted and the restaurant is gearing up for a reopening. Everything has been moving fast in the last couple of days, with a reopening date already announced with a set four-course menu for the first month to get them back up and running. That includes:
- Lasagne croquette with garlic pesto and parmesan
- Salmon Sashimi with blood orange, sea buckthorn and dill
- Gnocchi with octopus ragu, sumac and Thai Basil
- Yorkshire rhubarb pavlova
Reservations open tomorrow, so if you've missed the restaurant, you'll want to get in quickly.
