"At its best, Café Cecilia’s cooking feels inspired by the easy-to-fall-in-love-with elegance and simplicity of St. John, one of the restaurants where head chef Max Rocha first worked, with some Irish influence. Sage and anchovy fritti? Sensational. Chocolate and Guinness cake? Please. Beige and brown are always in vogue at this canalside spot in London Fields. Especially when it comes to the deep-fried bread and butter pudding with cold custard." - jake missing
