Bistrotheque has been on my list for over 2 goddam years!! Yes 2…can you believe it? But boy am I glad I went. My friend and I have a yearly ritual of going for a pre-Christmas Brunch where we live our best life ? So the decision was made ??

Basic details first…

• Location: 23-27 Wadeson St, London E2 9DR
• Closest Station: Bethnal Green, and then take a bus that takes you towards Mare Street
• Reservations: Book here
• Cuisine: Modern European, Evolving seasonal menus by Blaine Duffy along with a few Bistrotheque classics
• Occasion: We booked their Piano Brunch (every Saturday and Sunday), I’d recommend 
• Cost: ££

An old warehouse conversion into a stunning space- spacious, white, so tasteful! I love attention to detail and everything, even their website, is so well thought out. I love it!

We both ordered the Soft Shell Crab Benedict- bonus points for double portions and actual spiced hollandaise rather than just a spicy name ?? and then to share between us: French Toast with smoked butterscotch, clotted cream and pecan brittle.

The best Soft Shell Crab Benedict I’ve had ??????

We were gobsmacked when the French toast arrived on our table. It was MAHOOSIVE ? But so worth the calories. The varying textures, the softness of the brioche with the toasted butterscotch and the pecan brittle- I’m literally salivating as I type this haha?

Lovely staff and service ??

This place is perfect for brunch, lunch or dinner- take someone, spoilt them rotten then head into one of the pubs in Broadway Market, or just hang by the bar for more drinks ??
