Water House Restaurant

Close on the heels of their success in establishing an eco-friendly restaurant at Acorn House, the dynamic duo of Arthur Potts-Dawson and Jamie Grainger-Smith have pulled out all the stops with their latest venture, Water House. With careful planning and deep conviction, they have brought London's greenest eating place to a location right beside the Regent's Canal in Shoreditch.

Every element, from décor to the menu is conscious of its carbon footprint but despite these accessories, taste is what matters and fortunately the food is above reproof. Consider a selection of exquisite anti-pasti or the ravioli of butternut squash and ricotta with chilli oil for starters, and the stuffed partridge with figs on a bed of french beans and pancetta or the savoury vegetarian crumble with wild mushrooms and spices for the main course. Bittersweet chocolate tart served with spicy and sweet black pepper ice cream offers an interesting finish and organic wines top the drinks list. Here's a place where you can put aside your burgeoning worries about the environment and just enjoy your meal.
