High-end but not fusty; low-key but impeccable service. One of Britain's most talented chefs, Isaac McHale has put in time at high-profile spots Noma and The Ledbury. Stunning, meandering tasting menus — chiefly British — with flashes of flavour from such cuisines as India and Japan in the dining room; cult snacks and great cocktails in the bar. One of London’s most adventurous Michelin-starred restaurants.

Cây Tre specialises in authentic Vietnamese cuisine but concentrates more on the traditional dining experience than its street food-focused sibling (and opposite neighbour) Kêu. The menu features items meant for feasting in groups as much as savouring alone. Try the beef pho, which has an 18-hour prep time; it’s hard to go wrong with a starter of salt-and-pepper squid, too.

Selin Kiazim’s first solo restaurant is a paean to the chef’s Turkish-Cypriot heritage. The small dining room and bar is organised around an open kitchen which uses a wood oven and tiered grill to prepare some of the most ambitious modern Turkish food in the city. Pide (flatbreads) — marinated octopus with ricotta; or a classic lamb lahmacun — are served with a crisp, piquant pomegranate-dressed red cabbage salad with pickles; the regularly-changing grilled meats might include glazed lamb breast or half chicken served with preserved lemon and greens. Despire being in the middle of Shoreditch, Oklava has the warm atmosphere of a discreet neighbourhood restaurant.

Smokestak is one of a very small number of temples to barbecue in London. From the grungy, industrial, almost charred look of the countertops and walls to a menu replete with different British meats, fish and vegetables, the majority of which are smoked with great skill. Between the brisket buns, tender brisket, crispy pork cheek and thick-cut pork ribs: Smokestak is fine Southern-style barbecue restaurant with a strong British accent.

Leroy is a wine bar and newly Michelin-starred restaurant from the team — Ed Thaw and Jack Lewens — who closed the Michelin-starred Ellory in Hackney. It is inspired by the Parisian “caves” (restaurant wine annexes) where head chef Sam Kamienko cooked before coming to London. Wines are selected from a “broad church,” where classics sit side-by-side with more new-wave, natural varieties. They also feature a number of the wines from Vigneti Tardis, their own winemaking project in Campania, Italy.

Som Saa has come a long way since its beginnings in Climpson’s Arch as a Thai pop-up. Now the restaurant is one of the most difficult reservations to secure in the city — largely because of a dedication to the cooking methods and ingredients of authentic Thai cuisine. Whole deep-fried sea bass; smoked aromatic duck soups; seasonal curries; and a hot and heady mix of chillies, herbs and seasonings — it all tells you everything you need to know about the seriousness and skill of chefs Andy Oliver and Mark Dobbie.

Burro e Salvia is one of London’s top spots for fresh pasta and exists comparatively under the radar. You could do much worse than order their signature beef, pork and spinach ‘agnolotti cavour’, or, for that matter, any of their daily-changing options, including a number of vegetarian dishes like cappellacci with aubergine, ricotta and tomato. It’s one of Shoreditch’s best options for a quick lunch and the off-menu lasagne is one of the neighbourhood’s best kept secrets.

You know what all other bars are missing? A massive hunk of oak tree sawn in half, laid flat and used as a vessel for two whisky rivers. And there are plenty more clever things happening with the brown stuff in this dark, brooding basement. Whisky never looked so good.

Japanese whisky is put on a pedestal at Bull in a China Shop, a lively, grungy bar at the foot of Shoreditch High Street. They serve Scotch too, but it’s Nikka From The Barrel you should seek out. Pair it with rotisserie chicken for a unique spin on Shoreditch.
