The people behind bars Dram and Oranj have teamed up for this Bethnal Green opening, which is part cocktail bar, part residency. On the drinks side, you'll find great cocktails and a wine list which celebrates female winemakers. On the food side, that comes from long-term residency Tasca which combines both Spanish and Portuguese influences from an ex Sager & Wild chef. Expect dishes like shellfish escabeche on the menu.

Italian restaurant Senza Fondo has one key selling point - its bottomless lasagna. That comes in traditional or artichoke varieties (and even in a sandwich) but there is more to the restaurant than layered pasta. You'll also find pizzette, pasta and snacks like deep-fried mozzarella sticks, as well as tiramisu for dessert. All that's assuming you don't overdo it on the lasagna, of course.

One of the earliest interesting wine bars to hit this part of East London, Newcomer Wines started life as a wine shop and bar focusing solely on Austrian wines. They've now expanded to feature natural wines from further afield in Europe. Come the summer, their hidden walled garden is a superb place to enjoy a glass or two.

Supported by its own natural wine-importing business, Dan’s is one of those wine bars that’s always packed with East Londoners working their way through the impressive catalogue. There’s plenty on by the glass too and it’s always worth seeing what’s on the board that day.
