1. Leroy
Shoreditch
Because dinner at this stylish, laid-back Parisian bistro in Shoreditch is still one of the most complete restaurant experiences in London. An exemplar of fine dining technique on a casual canvas, Sam Kamienko’s kitchen recently won a first Michelin star. There’s a superb wine list, effortless service, and a huge stack of vinyl courtesy of audiophile owner Ed Thaw.
