Bright
Seasonal small-plate restaurants might be a dime a dozen right now, but Bright really is something special. Sure, it ticks all the on-trend industrial-chic boxes, but it’s Bright’s welcoming atmosphere and real ‘neighbourhood restaurant’ vibe that elevates it from the aloof coolness that so many of its contemporaries fall into. East London legends William Gleave and Giuseppe Belvedere head up the kitchen and create beautifully produce-centred dishes that allow the flavours to speak for themselves. If you’re all about the ingredients, you’ll find plenty to enjoy here. Recommended by local insider Josh Lee
