Eyre Brothers
70 Leonard St, Shoreditch, London EC2A 4QX
This well-designed and – frankly – expensive restaurant celebrates the cuisine of the Iberian penisula: specialities include marinated acorn-fed Ibérico pig, rabbit braised in port and Madeira, pungent salt cod and pork casserole with paprika, thyme and garlic. The food is earthy and flavoursome, the decor modern-elegant, featuring bench seating, polished wood booths, low lamps and crisp white tablecloths. For an experience that is less punishing to your wallet, opt for a seat at the bar and sample some of the delicious tapas and a drink: the wines are mainly Iberian and there’s a range of sherries and Madeiras too.
