55 Baring St, London N1 3DS

This pub (previously The Poet) is reborn as The Baring with an impressive team behind it. In the kitchen is Rob Tecwyn (ex Dabbous and Kerridge's) and the pub is run by Adam Symonds (ex Orasay and Six Portland Road). They're offering up a a seasonal menu, showcasing provenance and aiming for a low environmental impact.

57 Newington Grn, London N16 9PX

This Stoke Newington wine comes from Francis Roberts and Tom Beattie who also run the wine importers Beattie & Roberts - so you can be assured that a lot of attention is paid to the wine list. The food is just a draw, however. They've teamed up with charcutier George Jephson and chef Jamie Smart on the menu.

20 Canada Square, London E14 5NN

Scarpetta is a mini-chain of restaurants in the City of London. Launched by two Italian best friends, they say the restaurant uses recipes from the farms, mills and roasteries that they've known since childhood. There's plenty of fresh pasta, Italian wines and they have a post-work happy hour too.

37 Westferry Circus, London E14 8RR

This restaurant first opened at St Katharine Docks, before relocating to Canary Wharf. Here you'll find Indian cuisine focusing on the Punjabi region and South India. They have a heated riverside terrace too.
