Description:
As more and more of trendy London flocks to Shoreditch, their goal is often this elegant and refined restaurant, inaugurated by David Eyre, who virtually revolutionized pub grub in London at the dawn of the millennium. The chef is often inspired by Portuguese cuisine -- and by the cuisine of former Portuguese colonies like Mozambique. A typical example: tiger prawns piri-piri (in a hot chili marinade). Succulent T-bones are grilled on the open fire here as in the style of Lisbon. The fresh catch of the day, perhaps yellowfin tuna, is also grilled to one's request. The house specialty is a marvelous banquet of roast suckling pig flavored to perfection. For starters, try the Spanish garlic and ham soup with smoked paprika and sherry, or octopus with green peppers, coriander, and sherry vinegar. Other tempting mains include salt cod filet cooked with tomatoes, peppers, and onions or slow-cooked lamb shank with dried Choricero peppers and garbanzos.

The shining star of Shoreditch

It's been around for a decade, but it remains unchallenged as the best place to eat in Shoreditch. The menu has been revamped and so you can graze across any combination of tapas,...
