Cocktail Bar Find: The Sun Tavern London

Sun Tavern London | meltingbutter.com Restaurant Hotspot

With the success of Spitalfields speakeasy Discount Suit Co in mind, it was with great excitement that I watched the same team of drink aficionados unveil The Sun Tavern in Bethnal Green. The refurbishment has maintained the East End boozer’s historic charm – bare brickwork, original 19th century tiling and a copper bar come together […]

Restaurant Find: Corner Room London

Corner Room London | meltingbutter.com Restaurant Hotspot

Corner Room is tucked away inside Bethnal Green’s Town Hall Hotel, so you have to know about it to find it (you can thank me later!). And it certainly is one to add to your little black book. The interior is dominated by reclaimed pendant lights, no two the same; furniture is homely and the […]

My latest visit to London involved a very special trip to L’Entrepot to meet with Patrick Hanna (the restaurant’s very accomplished head chef) and learn about his tricks of the trade for preparing steak tartare. I didn’t leave of course, without sampling the delightful food (and matched wines) on offer for the day. Food and […]

London Restaurant Find: L’Entrepot

London Hotspot Find: L’Entrepot | meltingbutter.com

L’ENTREPOT, HACKNEY What goes together better than food and wine? Nothing right? So to me, it makes complete sense for an independent wine merchant like Borough Wines, known in London for their excellently edited wine selection, to open an adjoining rustic French eatery. It also leaves me questioning why more boutique wine sellers aren’t doing […]
