"Bistrotheque is a classic East London restaurant that was doing banging cabaret nights and lush brunches back when places like Beagle were merely a twinkle in someone’s eye. It’s still an original as far as hangs out East go, and the whitewashed warehouse setting and French-leaning food feel as fresh as they did years ago. Brunch is a classic move - when you’re three cocktails deep and the pianist starts playing Strawberry Fields, there isn’t a better place to be at the weekend." - jake missing, david paw
