Brat is hidden behind a plain black awning in the heart of Shoreditch. A restaurant that unfolds true culinary magic over an open flame. The name, an old English word for turbot, reveals the highlight of the menu: the legendary charcoal-grilled fish that is perfect for sharing. Tomos Parry, a master of the fiery art of cookery, brings Basque tradition to London’s plates. From roasted leeks with creamy stracciatella to buttery potatoes braised over embers and finished with hay butter. The whole thing is accompanied by a curated wine list with exciting wines. The atmosphere? Rough but charming – wood-panelled walls, convivial tables and a kitchen that is part of the action. Perfect for a dinner with friends or a casual date at the bar.
