*Note: Paradise Garage has closed down*
LONDON | Paradise Garage is housed under the railway arches on Paradise Row in Bethnal Green, next door to one of London’s best craft beer bars/shops, Mother Kelly’s. It’s the brainchild of chef Robin Gill (The Dairy, The Manor), and sees Gill draw upon many of his influences to create food that’s exciting an on trend. Time spent working with Rene Redzepi has clearly influenced Gill, who isn’t afraid to throw convention out the door and use all kinds of ingredients and techniques to create his dishes, along with head chef Simon Woodrow.
The space is as on trend as the food – the railway arch setting, polished concrete floors, filament lighting – all ’round industrial chic. It works, but when the place gets busy things can get loud – it’s not the place for a first date or a quiet meal, although the story is a bit different out front in the somewhat more relaxing courtyard.
Fresh, seasonal ingredients are par for the course at Paradise Garage, and a combination of familiar and unfamiliar British ingredients makes for exciting dining. It’s all about taste, texture, and technique here. A “Rabbit Picnic for Two” sees diners served a roast rabbit saddle, BBQ leg, confit shoulder turnover, grilled offal, belly ‘bacon’ with reduced whey, peas & chard. It’s utterly delicious, with the flavoursome cuts and textures being used to great effect. Tender, gamey meat, and melt in your mouth fat with the ‘bacon’ all work wonderfully. Other highlights include the Willy’s mackerel tartare with smoked eel, cucumber & black radish, and the pork terrine with garden leaves & tomato chutney. It’s all designed to share, so do be sure to try a few things.
The drinks list is solid, with more than enough wines, beers and spirits to keep most people happy. Combined with attentive service and knowledgeable staff, it all comes together for a very pleasing meal.
