Ellory

Netil House in London Fields is home to around 100 makers and shakers and independent businesses, and now on their ground floor is Ellory, a modern bistro from two friends Matthew Young (previously Head Chef at Mayfields) and Jack Lewens (a sommelier with River Cafe and Spring on his CV). The restaurant itself is minimalist with whitewashed walls, low-slung bare bulbs and a view into the busy open kitchen.A five-course tasting menu changes daily, and features simple dishes such as scallop, parsnip and artichoke, or mallard, beetroot and quince. Leave room for the sixth course, which is a low-key cheese plate – a thick slice of blue stitchelton and an oozing St Cera from Neal’s Yard – served with crisp breads. If you’re just popping in for a drink and snacks there are plates of wafer-thin Tuscan Coppa or venison tartar on toast.
