Bistro Freddie

The Long Lunch Guide - London - The Infatuation

"French in style but more British in flavour, this tight-knit dinner party space in Shoreditch mixes melting candles with hearty pies and a wine list that its Francophile crowd happily glug from lunch until dinner. The handwritten menu has a whiff of Paris about it, and the buttery snail and chicken skin flatbread certainly helps, but this is an undeniably London restaurant. A dinky half Guinness and the house-made sausage will get any occasion off to an excellent start. Get involved with the drinks menu, don’t look at the clock, and if anyone suggests splitting a beef cheek pie for mains, the day is officially over." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
