8. Blanchette-1216
As the name suggests, Blanchette East is the latest outpost from the brothers behind Soho French-style bistro Blanchette, namely the Normandy-born Maxime, Yannis and Malik Alary. Located on Brick Lane, the 70-75 cover site offers a French-style menu mixed with North African influences, from executive chef Tam Storrar (who was previously at Bibendum).
