"The wine list at Joyau changes daily, and the always-lovely staff won’t embarrass you in front of your date if you ask them what a ‘zippy pét-nat' is. This low-key spot is tucked into a Forest Gate railway arch and has the kind of low lighting and flickering candles that encourages maximum flirting and is generous to those who’ve had long weeks. You could happily stick to the interesting chalkboard wine list but the modern European small plates are worth getting involved in. Especially the potato pie with its perfectly scalloped discs of potato and pleasing dollop of crème fraîche." - Rianne Shlebak, Jake Oliver, Sinead Cranna
