"Bistro Freddie is a restaurant with soft skills. This spot can mix you a boulevardier, charm you with a prawn cocktail, and fool you into thinking it’s been on a quiet Shoreditch corner for years. French in style but more British in flavour, the tight-knit dinner party space mixes melting candles with handwritten menus, and will get any date off to an excellent start. Begin with a crisp martini alongside chips, then move on to hearty pies and buttery snail and chicken skin flatbreads if things are going well." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
