Lucky Dog
70 Brick Ln, London E1 6RL
It’s a tiny northern east Chinese eatery. I think it’s one of the best Chinese restaurants in London. Definitely a hidden gem.
Hoko
224 Brick Ln, London E1 6SA
Hong Kong cafe serves up very comforting and original cha chan teng dishes. Their recently launch char Siu rice is our favourite on the menu.
Potter and Reid
20-22 Toynbee St, London E1 7NE
Great coffee, simple and scrumptious all day dishes, minimal yet warm interior, lovely people. Definitely the best cafe in the neighbourhood.
Yun cross bridge rice noodle
204 Brick Ln, London E1 6SA
One of the few Yunnan cuisine specialist in the city. The noodles are must order but their side dishes/ snacks are also very authentic.
St John bread and wine
94-96 Commercial St, London E1 6LZ
Our go to spot for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We’ve never have a bad meal there. The dishes and service is always spot on. Casual, delightful and classic!
