This is a great restaurant that has only 13 tables and they recently have won many awards for Dishes but also outstanding service . We ordered the Rabbit and the Bev steak which was phenomenal and you can’t go wrong with the caramel dessert. It was like a flan, but it was delicious. Our server was incredibly engaging , knowledgeable about the menu ,kind and added to the experience.

COMING JANUARY 5TH 2027A little taste of France in the heart of East London. Bordelaise brings the warmth, charm and rustic elegance of the South of France to East London. With its relaxed atmosphere and inviting spirit, it’s a place where great food, fine wine and good company come together effortlessly. Our menu celebrates the rich, comforting flavours of Bordeaux and beyond, featuring favourites such as our signature flat iron steak, tender duck confit, classic French onion soup and buttery escargots. Our thoughtfully crafted vegetarian dishes are equally full of flavour, bringing a fresh touch to traditional French cooking. Join us for our lively bottomless brunch or gather around the table for one of our delicious Sunday roasts, served with all the traditional trimmings. Whether you're celebrating something special or simply enjoying a leisurely afternoon, there's always a reason to stay a little longer. Bonne appetit !

The dishes at Brawn are all made to perfection. The menu has the perfect variety without being too extensive or not big enough. We felt so well looked after by the waiting staff and the chefs are clearly a top level team as the way the food was laid out and cooked was exceptional, this really was a fantastic dining experience.

Lovely front of house people and simply sensational food. Wouldn’t be surprised to see this place get a star next year. Outstanding. Only bit of feedback would be to get an automatic closer on the door. We were sat by the door and so many people left and didn’t close it so I was up and down all night shutting the door, But food and service couldn’t be faulted
