Modern European restaurant in whitewashed warehouse with piano & cabaret
"The Bistrotheque is a hidden gem, located in an East London backstreet. It is a very classy & elegant restaurant without being pretentious. Great service and quality food for brunch, lunch and dinner. The interior is a chic refurbished warehouse with industrial lighting and white bricks. It's a great place to come with your friends, to bring your parents or for a date." - Mélanie Hubert-Crozet
"At Bistrotheque you’ll eat brunch in a whitewashed warehouse conversion close to Cambridge Heath station and when you’re halfway through sipping cocktails and tucking into a full English, a bloke with blue hair will start playing ‘Penny Lane’ on a baby grand piano. It’s pricier than the average rumble pit, but for a posh brunch—like crab rarebit benedict—it's one to put at the top of your list." - jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
"It’s easy to walk right past Bistrotheque in Bethnal Green without noticing it. It gives off an aloof air but don’t be put off. Once you walk up the stairs to the light and airy warehouse dining space, and are met by the friendly wait staff, this soon fades away. The menu features a good mix of well-executed bistro classics, but really you’re here for the fun atmosphere. In the downstairs dining room you can book tickets for cabaret, featuring the finest east London queer scene royalty, and their weekend brunch services are notoriously an excellent hangover cure (or cause)." - rachel rumbol
"Bistrotheque was one of Hackney’s original ‘trendy’ restaurants. There’s the unmarked door, whitewashed and tiled warehouse space, bustling open kitchen, and fashion pack crowd. A decade on, creative sorts still clip-clop in wearing penny loafers for candlelit bistro dinners. The food is pretty decent—the crispy chicken schnitzel is a standout, even if the chips are disappointing. But Bistrotheque remains a hangout where the fun atmosphere is the real draw." - jake missing, sinead cranna, daisy meager
"At Bistrotheque you’ll eat in a chic warehouse conversion with whitewashed walls, and when you’re halfway through sipping cocktails and tucking into a full English, a bloke with pink hair will start playing ‘My Way’ on a baby grand piano. The Bethnal Green bistro is an east London classic for this and many other reasons. It serves things like oysters, steak tartare, and French toast. Just know that six is the maximum booking they’ll accept." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
