👆 This is @coalhousecafe - a hidden gem in @wildwoodberry (just between Finsbury Park and Stoke Newington) overlooking the most amazing views of the nature reserve reservoir (swipe ➡️).

👆 This is possibly as close to Italy you’ll get in West London 🇮🇹… @idarestaurant is a neighbourhood & family run Italian restaurant (run by a husband and wife team + their three children!) in between #queenspark & #kensalrise. They survived the pandemic thanks to a crowdfund campaign which also helped them apply for an outdoor seating licence and create a small deli 🥰 They’re based in listed, quirky corner building on Frith Avenue, which is well worth the visit if you’re local and passing!
📍 Queen’s Park
🚚 Eat in or takeaway
⏰ Open for lunch and dinner daily (excluding Mondays).

Everything about this new Hungarian restaurant in

Everything about this new Hungarian restaurant in #turnpikelane is brilliant. @turulproject started as a pop-up and series of supper clubs in 2018 to showcase Hungarian cuisine and wine 🍷, and they’ve finally taken residency in this 1930s Art Deco building. They have a wine shop inside and @climpsonandsons coffee if you’re passing during the day. If you go, let us know what you think! 🙌
📍Turnpike Lane
🚚 Eat in or takeaway
⏰ 12pm-10pm Tue-Fri, 10am-10pm Sat and 10am-5pm Sun

Another East London gem to add to the list is @wil

Another East London gem to add to the list is @wildgoosebakery, a South African artisan bakery in Leytonstone 🇿🇦

Since starting in 2014, the bakery has always tried to make a difference in the community, often through collecting food and donations and Christmas volunteering at a local food bank.

On top of this, they serve a breakfast and brunch menu 🥖, pastries and sweet bakes 🍰, and stock local and independent producers of cupboard items and chocolate 🍫

Enjoy their menu and outdoor seating 🙏

💁‍♀️Thanks for letting us know about this bakery! @susannamorbey

👆 This is @kniferestaurant - a small, neighbourhood steakhouse on a neglected strip of Clapham Park Road 🥩 It’s run by the same team behind the infamous @24theoval - one of Oval’s most loved restaurants. Definitely worth booking for the rainy weekend - they were fully closed throughout lockdown but are now back up and open 🤭

Like books as much as you like wine or coffee? 🤭 🍷 📚 Excited to have discovered @bookbaruk - a bookshop slash cafe & wine bar in Islington. Founded by Chrissy Ryan who believes books should bring people together ❤️ Find a spot outside and sit with a good book and glass of wine in the sun this week.

☀️ Morning! If you’re looking for somewhere sunny to sit outside this morning, head to @el_gansocafe for brunch. Opened in 2014, El Ganso is a Spanish Restaurant located on Broadway Market.

Walking into @sawyerandgrayn1 is like stepping back in time 🕰 The Victorian building is full of little nooks and crannies harbouring vintage household objects (scales, pots and pans, a telephone, a bike) as ornaments. But most importantly, they make really great coffee ☕️ 👀
Pop by if you’re walking past this week!
