The Hit List: New London Restaurants To Try Right Now - London - The Infatuation

"East London is awash with Hector’s and Leo’s and other well-bred-sounding restaurants. Bianca’s is Stoke Newington’s most compelling. This restaurant is from the team behind Casa Fofò, and the Italian cooking has Japanese and Korean accents that will make you sit up from your Togo sofa and take notice. The airy, Scandi-ish space is half-dominated by a kitchen of tweezer-wielding chefs sprinkling furikake on egg mayo and fermenting cream for cavatelli. It’s not galaxy brain cooking, but it does feel different to most other small plates restaurants out there." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley, heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, heidi lauth beasley, heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, daisy meager, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak

Bianca’s stands out in a sea of small plates restaurants - Review - London - The Infatuation

"Bianca’s is a minimalist restaurant in Stoke Newington with a sparsely worded menu that mixes Italian dishes and East Asian influences, has opinions on wine, and an open kitchen that’s single-handedly keeping the label maker industry in rude health. Sound familiar? It is on paper. Except, Bianca’s is refreshingly obsessed with food and is bound to impress anyone who knows their way around a Natoora order. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Pause Unmute Run by the same team as Casa Fofò, this understated restaurant on a corner of Stoke Newington High Road has the component parts of a fine dining restaurant. But, instead of imposing its mantra or childhood traumas on you, Bianca’s will serve you a superb plate of buttery scorched mackerel with herbs and kombu before gliding away. It’s precise and considered. Although it's still a neighbourhood restaurant where you can sit at the counter and share a bowl of cavatelli while watching an orchestra of tweezers. There’s a breezy confidence to everything here. Just don’t expect the room’s energy to ramp up. Even when full, nobody in Bianca’s is the loudest person in the room. Like its small and big-ish plates, Bianca’s encourages thoughtful conversation that’s paused for an unexpectedly brilliant pork-filled sugar doughnut. The fiddly-ness and lack of merch at Bianca’s won’t be to everyone’s taste. But this isn’t trying to be the most-talked restaurant in N16. It’s trying to be the most impressive. Food Rundown Bread & Brown Butter You know when the server walks to the Magimix to start whipping the butter, it’s going to be good. And it is. photo credit: Jake Missing Egg, Kimchi, Furikake Where the egg mayo from Café Deco tastes like the result of a many childhood Interrail trip, this take from Bianca’s feels like it came after a holiday to Japan. The egg is soft, the mayo has a hint of funky fermentation about it, and the furikake adds a pleasing fishiness. photo credit: Jake Missing Doughnut, Pork, Lovage In a different setting this sweet and savoury dish could turn into social media bait, but here it’s a showcase of inventive cooking. The sugared doughnut bun is impeccable (although we would have loved it to come warm) and the pork patty inside is juicy with a great thwack of lemongrass. On top there’s pickled daikon and a smear of lovage mayonnaise. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Flourish Shoots, Pumpkin Seeds These guys come from the broccoli family and there’s an amazing balance of textures in this dish. The greens still have bite, there’s the welcome crunch from the pumpkin seeds, and then the loose pumpkin seed dressing adds a delicious light creaminess. photo credit: Jake Missing Cavatelli, Fermented Cream, Wild Garlic Never ignore the single pasta dish. It’s a rule of life that’s one again proven here. Faultless bullets of cavatelli in adult-kiddy cream sauce that mixes shallots, barely cooked English peas, and wild garlic with a little funky fermented cream. You’ll shovel it. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Jake Missing

As a huge fun of casa fofo, I was really looking forward to try Bianca’s. I was expecting it to be a simpler version of casa fofo but I was very pleasently surprised the dishes were just as delicious and interesting 🤩 Like my absolute favourite was the "doughnut" which was an incredible blend of sweet and savoury - delicious! The mackerel was also fantastic…Do not skip a dessert as it’s going to be a surprise - we had a mushroom mousse and while I’m not a fan of mushrooms myself even I couldn’t resist 😆 The selection of wine is impressive, we asked the staff for recommendations based on the food we ordered and it worked perfectly! The atmosphere is great, with lovely staff and open kitchen so we could see the Chef in action - we will be back! 😍

Bianca’s is a not so hidden gem! All the wine was incredible, but the food was even better! The open kitchen provides a lovely ambiance for the restaurant as you can see the chefs working on your dishes a la minute! Must tries are the doughnut, the spenwood cheese and pea salad and the torched mackerel!

As a fan of Casa Fofo, I was excited to try here! We came for dinner and between the three of us, we basically ordered the whole menu and every dish was different and tasty. My favourites were the whipped duck liver parfait, mussels congee, the pea, celery, spenwood cheese and the pork collar. The service was warm and attentive. One point of feedback is that the dishes arrived a little too quickly so a slightly more relaxed pacing would have made the experience feel more enjoyable.

A fantastic meal with excellent service. The restaurant is currently operating with a soft launch menu, but the food was delicious, and I am very much looking forward to what is to come. The cuisine is Italian and European with a Japanese influence, although the Kimchi Eggs are distinctly Korean. As an experienced traveller to Korea, I found the flavour very authentic. Whilst every dish was perfect, it is worth noting that the larger plates are limited in number and the portion sizes are relatively small. The wine list is extensive and interesting; we enjoyed a lovely orange wine from Alicante. The restaurant itself has a refreshing layout, with generously sized tables and a welcome sense of space, avoiding the feeling of being seated too closely to others. There is also a great view of the kitchen, adding to the vibrant atmosphere.

We had an appalling experience here. It’s your classic over priced small plates restaurant. The manager, who took our order, kept upselling and insisted we needed 10-12 dishes between four of us. Except you only have your table for 1hr 45 min and they can’t make and serve the food in that time. We were kicked off our table after having received only 6 of our dishes and told we had to move outside. Fine. We then waited at our table outside for 30min during which no one came out to get us water, more drinks or more food. We finally decided to call it quits and just leave and the manager inexplicably blamed us. He the refused to remove the food that we never received from the bill. Saying all that, the food we did eat was good. It’s just tiny, over priced and comes with a sense that you should be grateful they’ve even let you sit in the cold on the side of the road in the dark waiting for overpriced crumbs.

So pleased this has come to the neighbourhood. Delicious food, great service, really nice ambiance. Menu is pretty good for vegetarians, there are enough veggies options to make the sharing plates approach work. It's not cheap but worth the price.

Incredible experience. I visited Bianca's a few days ago and it was beautiful, genuine, soft and cosy atmosphere, amazing and talented chefs behind the kitchen, the front of house team simply impeccable, friendly and warm. From food to natural wine, taste wise was supreme, explosion of unique flavours. Well, If I could, I would be dining there every day of my life. Super recommended.
