Nieves has just added Legado to her portfolio in the edgier environs of Shoreditch. The restaurant’s mission is ‘to celebrate the diverse regional food cultures of Spain and its islands, allowing the lesser-known to take centre stage’.

One Club Row Brings New York Glamour to Shoreditch
UBA Restaurant, Shoreditch
Perhaps it’s symptomatic of multicultural London to take a Latvian chef, Pavel Baranovs, who started his career in a Japanese restaurant in Riga and set him up in the kitchen of the Hart Shoreditch Hotel, creating dishes for their Pan-Asian restaurant UBA.

Brat, Redchurch Street – Basque dining via Wales in Shoreditch Make your way to the side door of Smoking Goat on Redchurch Street, through a scruffy entrance hall where the only clue about what is upstairs is the neatly lined up bottles of wines and climb the lino-clad stairs.
