The Light Restaurant and Bar

About

A lively, buzzy, stylish eatery and meeting place in an exciting part of town. The Light is a newcomer on the Shoreditch scene which is attracting lots of positive attention. The funky decor and French/Mediterranean menu, attract a young, vivacious crowd, including city folk, media and design types. Lunch is busy, evenings romantic, and you won't have to shout your sweet nothings over the pulsing background music, because there isn't any. Aaah, start with a half-dozen oysters served with shallot vinaigrette, pickled lemon and chilli salsa, either with a pint of Guinness or a glass of champagne. Main favourites include oxtail in crepinette, with celeriac puree, roast shallots and root veg. Blistering wine list.

The groovy Lounge on the first floor of the award-winning Light Bar (once the former electric light station for G.E.R) is available for hire for parties, meetings, corporate functions and presentations of up to 200 party people. You’ll want for little. It has a fully stocked bar, DJ booth, video projector (DVD, PAL, S-video compatible) and an adjoining roof terrace. Menu choice is restricted to canapés at either £10 or £15 a head. Champagne from £25 to £110. The Lounge is available for hire throughout the day all week long, as well as during the evenings Sunday to Thursday (on Friday and Saturday nights it’s a thronging cocktail and DJ bar). Book your own DJ if you prefer. Closed Sundays
