Mitsu Shoreditch
New arrival Mitsu is already drawing a crowd in Shoreditch, thanks to its high-energy take on the Japanese izakaya. The kitchen focuses on robata grilling, filling the industrial-style space with smoky aromas, while the menu leans into bold, shareable plates. Drinks are just as considered, with a sake programme developed in collaboration with Kanpai Sake Brewery and a tight list of expertly balanced highballs. Come evening, DJs take over, giving the whole space a late-night edge.
