The Waterhouse Restaurant — Located along side the Regent's Canal you have water views from most tables but also of the graffiti on buildings opposite and lots of 'London life" wondering past. The menu strongly focuses on seasonal products and ethical farming , carbon prints here. Set menus include smoked mackerel or home-cured duck breast salad, followed by loin of pork. The restaurant is owned by the Shoreditch Trust (a community led organisation promoting renewal energy programs) and was built with numerous environmentally friendly devices which you can read about at their site. I've not dined here and the critics have not been too kind but if you're looking to try something very 'environmentally sound' this is one pioneering restaurants in different restaurant practices.

One-0-one - a fine London fish cafe — I have read and heard so much about this Fish cafe, I can't wait to go.
