"No-big-deal birthdays are best when they’re in no-big-deal restaurants—ones that don’t try to be all singing and dancing but are just really very good. And that’s Rubedo. It calls itself a European bistro but what that translates to, really, is a homely little place in Stoke Newington that does great food and great natural wine. This is the kind of restaurant where you order everything off the menu alongside several bottles until the owner politely asks you all to leave because they would like to go home and sleep." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Oliver, Rianne Shlebak, Sinead Cranna
