Eran Tibi, Executive Chef at Bala Baya and Kapara, reveals his favourite food and drink places in De Beauvoir in North London.
Dan’s Wine Bar
2-4 Tottenham Rd, London N1 4BZ
Dan’s is the place to go for a great glass of wine – essentially you can enjoy a fantastic experimental tasting menu of wines. The team champion micro wineries and wines that are biodegradable, experimental and against the grain – there’s always something new to try. Pair it with platter of charcuterie, and I can be there all night!
Hector’s
49a Ardleigh Rd, London N1 4HS
This gorgeous neighbourhood wine bar and bottle shop is a stone’s throw from my house. It’s the perfect place for a glass of something delicious, natural and interesting; I normally enjoy this with one (or many) of the simple and downright delicious snacks on offer, whether that’s a slice of terrine or anchovies doused in oil. There’s also always an exciting bottle to be found to take home for dinner!
Mangal II
4 Stoke Newington Rd, London N16 7XN
I love the story of how Mangal II came to be, taking traditional Turkish cuisine and presenting it in a fine dining capacity. The food is outstanding and the flavours are out-of-this-world; the menu is so well thought through and features a number of locally sourced London ingredients.
Akari
196 Essex Rd, London N1 8LZ
This is a local Japanese pub that has been untouched for a decade. It’s unique and offers
incredible Japanese pub food. They have a Japanese carbonara that is mind blowing – everyone has to try it.
MU
432-434 Kingsland Rd, London E8 4AA
The best place to go for jazz, MU has plenty of little plates, great drinks and even greater live jazz music. I tend to go here with friends or my partner for a relaxing evening of catch-ups and big conversations that take place over many, many hours.
