"Planque is probably the most decidedly unclassic restaurant on this list. It’s a grand industrial lair in Haggerston that also acts as a wine club for trainee Bond villains. The vibe is cool to the point of chilly, although the staff are brilliant and highly knowledgeable and the food has the ability to be outstanding. Serious grape appreciators and small plate-lovers will like it. Look out for any offal on the menu." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna
