Towpath Café

The local Italian restaurant even most of the locals don't know about - secretly hidden gem serving fresh pasta to die for and some amazing pizzas. Save room for dessert.

Jidori
89 Kingsland High StModern Japanese yakitori restaurant for small bites.
You are 5 mins from the Vietnamese restaurant capital of London. Do not go anywhere else but BUNBUNBUN it's the newest and by far the best. Meat, vegetarian and fish options are all great. My favourite is the salt and pepper prawns you might need two serves.
