Limehouse's Narrow Street is home to La Figa, a smart and modern Italian restaurant in the Mosaic Piazza. Bright and airy, the decor follows a theme of reds and yellows amid wooden flooring to create a fresh and cheerful ambience. Settle down for a meal there with friends or family and enjoy the delicious variety that emerges from their kitchen. A delightful al fresco section is a popular seating option come summer.

Creamy avocado puree is paired with prawns and lime juice, and wrapped in strips of smoked salmon, making an excellent starter although the grilled bread with Parma ham and Italian style tomatoes is equally tempting. Further down, the main course could include pizzas and pastas, probably spaghetti with baby clams, tomato, garlic and parsley with white wine while sliced sirloin steak with rosemary, garlic, olive oil and rocket is another splendid alternative. Round off with a delectable tiramisu.
