Rochelle Canteen

We went here a couple of weeks ago for lunch with a friend visiting – I had never heard of it. Very pleasantly surpirsed.

Had the fresly prepared cornbeef hash and a side of seasonal greens and it was delicious! And a very (un)healthy proportion (meaning quite a lot). Of course I had to finish it.

Only con is it is bring your own wine which to some would be great but if you’re the only one wanting a glass of tipple isn’t great. But with that said, can’t fault it all.

Good staff, good food, quirky environment. Loved it.

One of my all time London favourites. Great tasting, daily changing, excellently prepared, well sourced and sometimes unusual food. Great value, quirky venue, nice crowd, friendly staff. Bring-your-own is the cherry on the cake as it means you can grab an excellent bottle from the city beverage company rather than spending excessively on alcohol. Only minor downside is that you probably need to avoid the 1-115 bottle neck as the menu then shrinks by 130…not always too bad though as sometimes they throw the odd special back in.

Run as an offshoot to St John's Bread and Wine this place is great, great, great. Designed as a canteen serving the artist studios, but also taking reservations from the public this little converted bike shed is the perfect spot for a reasonably priced and top notch meal.

They don't do alcohol, but will happily oblige to uncork and even provide a jug if you care to mix up your own Bloody Mary.

The best hidden gem in Shoreditch.

Went to Rochelle Kitchen in the summer and I had a truly wonderful time! It is a converted bike shed which opens up into the playground when the weather is warm. It really is a magnificent restaurant! The staff here is so lovely, they really make you feel welcome when you arrive, they have been equally wonderful every time I have been back. The menu is good, although not great for vegetarians. However there are several options to choose from. The food tastes delicious and you do get a good quantity of food. The prices are also quite good considering what you get!
