Bethnal Green

With Calvados and more on the menu, Coupette is a very French cocktail bar in Bethnal Green. We head east for an early look. 

Ex-Beaufort Bar head bartender heads east

So Sager + Wilde Paradise Row are launching an Old Fashioned (the drink AND the style) cocktail bar up on their Mezzanine level, and if that wasn't enough to get you down there pronto, just feast your eyes on the cocktail list they've knocked up.

• Classic Old Fashioned
• Olive Oil Old Fashioned
• Toasted Coconut Old Fashioned
• Burnt Maple Old Fashioned
• Tonka Bean & Rooibos Old Fashioned

Alongside

A year on from opening Mission in Bethnal Green, from the wonder wine due Sager + Wilde, is hitting its strike with a whole new team both in the kitchen and front of house. Taking over from James de Jong in the kitchen is Australian chef Sebastien Myers. Myer worked under Nuno Mendes at Viajante before heading up the kitchen at Chiltern Firehouse. He's most recently done a stage at Faviken before joining Mission.

And Seb has gathered an interesting team with him.
