Chef and TV personality Ravneet Gill is behind this smart neighbourhood bistro, along with her chef husband Mattie Taiano – after whose late mother the restaurant is named. The menu has a meaty basis, with a daily blackboard of prime cuts being the star of the show. Everything is well-priced, prepared with care and swaps fuss for flavour, such as well-judged onglet with a creamy peppercorn sauce. The whole team bring personality and infectious enthusiasm to their work, helping to make a visit here such a lovely experience.

‘A little piece of France in Wanstead’ is the tagline at this busy and welcoming neighbourhood bistro – and it certainly delivers on the promise. The extensive menu is a roll-call of classic French dishes from escargots and soupe à l’oignon to coq au vin and steak frites. They prove to be impressively executed too, providing satisfying flavours at fair prices. A startlingly good value 'prix fixe' is available throughout the day Tuesday to Thursday and for lunch only on Friday and Saturday.

Fox & Hounds

Traditional Cuisine

££

There's a pleasantly rustic feel to this welcoming high street pub sporting low beams and wooden furnishings. Classical dishes form the basis of the extensive menu, with tried-and-tested combinations like asparagus with hollandaise sauce proving a success. There's also a Mediterranean influence to the hearty cooking, plus the option of rare breed beef cooked over the Josper grill.
