Guidebook for London
Food Scene
Feels like being transported in a Bombay cafe back in the 70s. Dishoom is an experience more than just a restaurant. Do not be put off by the queue, there will always be one. Whenever they say the waiting is about a hour, be sure that you will be soon have the chance to get to the bar while waiting for your table and cocktails and tapas are great! Recommended for brunches as well!

Drinks & Nightlife
Well & Bucket
143 Bethnal Green RdNice pub with locally crafted beers and amazing sea food.
The best cocktails I had so far. Each cocktail is unique and members of staff take their time to explain you how you are supposed to drink it (if you see the cocktails you understand :) ). The place is quite cosy. I advise you to book a table before going.

Jazzy cocktail bar with live music every night. Do not attempt to get there without a reservation. You might actually need to book quite in advance. Music is great but often you will not be seated to be able to see the band. Cocktails are quite fancy. I have mixed feelings about them.
