Luxury places in Shoreditch
8 luxury places in Shoreditch, each one on the Guide on merit.
Cycene
Tasting menu · European
Theo Clench's candlelit six-table room in Shoreditch's Blue Mountain School, a Michelin star within months. An intimate, culty fine-dining sanctum.
Fifteen seats over two floors. Book well ahead.
Legado
Regional Spanish · European
Spanish cooking well beyond tapas, built around two Segovian ovens and a chef who already knows how to win stars.
Order something off the wood-fired ovens and let the sommelier loose on the list.
Los Mochis London City
Mexican restaurant
A 14,000 square foot Mexican-Japanese fusion restaurant on the ninth floor of 100 Liverpool Street, with a 3,000 square foot terrace overlooking The Shard and St Paul's. The menu runs from truffle guacamole on crispy rice to 15 types of kushiyaki skewers and build-your-own tacos with Wagyu tomahawk or whole roasted king crab. This is the bigger sibling to the original Los Mochis in Notting Hill, from the restaurateur behind Viajante87.
Mitsu
Japanese · Asian
A glossy robata izakaya on the old Nobu site, where the cooking lives up to the setting.
This one runs late; DJs, karaoke and dancing carry it well past dinner.
Noisy Oyster
Seafood · European
A chrome martini bar in seafood-bistro clothing, from the Firebird team.
Grab the terrace and order seafood snacks by the round, each with its own little martini.
One Club Row
Bistro · European
Paris-meets-NYC bistro with immaculate service and a crowd having a better night than you.
Watch for the lit walk-in seats available sign at street level if you did not book.
Plates
Plant-based tasting menu · European
The only plant-based kitchen in the UK with a Michelin star, and it wears it lightly. Kirk Haworth cooks vegetables with classical French technique in a small, warm, earth-toned room off Old Street.
Two menus, eight courses at 109 or eleven at 130. Wednesday to Saturday only, so book several weeks out.
Waltz
Japanese cocktail bar
A 28-seat, no-signage Japanese cocktail hideaway from an ex-Kwant bartender, rated among the best cocktail bars in Britain. The impress-a-date room.
Bar seats are walk-in only and groups of four can book a table. Ask for the Ginza Martini.
