On balmy afternoons when you want to linger over a meal with friends, The Fox, located in bustling Shoreditch, is just the place where you might want to pitch up a tent if it were allowed. This traditional restaurant with its classic decor offers a relaxed dining space in the city and the food is undoubtedly one of the biggest draws, attracting businessmen who want to impress clients, office workers looking for a tasty lunch and just about anyone interested in a good meal in a restful ambience. The garden space is delightful and one of their added charms.

Meals  at The Fox begin with grilled sardines with tomato, cumin, red onion and fenugreek salad followed by a chicken and chorizo stew with red peppers and paprika mash. Helping to end on a fresh and sweet note are the desserts, summer berries with meringue or chocolate biscuit cake with strawberries and cream. Supporting the food excellently is the range of wines, a good selection from the Old and New Worlds.
