The 17 Best Restaurants In Shoreditch - London - The Infatuation

"At Manteca there are people crowding into booths for lunches that involve pappardelle with hogget ragu; early days relationships, hiding parts of themselves but sharing focaccia; and counter-cruisers ordering a plate of this, a glass of that.

It’s stylish and assured, with accomplished, comforting dishes—think deep-fried pig’s head with mostarda and brown crab cacio e pepe—that veer away from the norm." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna
