Quiet Beauty


There are few things more pleasurable than food, glorious food when it really is on the glorious end of the scale. Angela Hartnett knows how to deliver glorious fodder. It is quite a coup for the Whitechapel Gallery to have Ms Hartnett navigating their restaurant ship. She is so dam clever and makes the best food on the block.

The food is simply innovative rather than innovatively simple and comes in beautiful small plate sizes. Or bigger plates if you've parked your truck outside. It is imaginative and wholly relevant, there is nothing fancy or over zealous. The ingredients set the benchmark and are a grade above the rest. The combinations of flavours suggests fresh food, locally sourced in England, is no longer second best. It is also extraordinarily well priced and considering the fine dining room setting, reeks of value for money. 

The Peanut and Chocolate Mille Feuille stopped the blogger in his tracks. Don't settle for my word. Please visit to taste it.

The mood is enhanced with chatty artistic types and those who come to dine in an airy, elegant atmosphere with an abundance of natural daylight. The piped music normally overbearing is wonderful and the music selection is pitch perfect with Ella Fitzgerald. 'Everytime You Say Goodbye'.

The service is relaxed, intelligent and fun. It is a pleasure to dine here and it enhances the experience of visiting this outstanding art gallery with it's amazing book shop.
