Fine dining can sometimes feel overly formal, even stuffy – but not at The Water House Project. Here, in East London’s Bethnal Green, you’ll almost feel like you’re at a dinner party, where diners strike up conversation at communal tables and chefs plate up modern British fare in the open kitchen a few feet away. The atmosphere is intimate, never intimidating, with chef Gabriel Waterhouse himself introducing each dish. Plus, it’s wallet-friendly to boot, at just £115 for 15 courses.
