Anchor Cafe In Limehouse in Tower Hamlets

I’ve have eaten at many Michelin starred restaurants all over the world in the past 20+ years. This place is next level. It is outstanding. What Theo is doing is complex and outshines even the most traditional Omakase style London giants such as Hannah, Endo and Roji. Whist I accept it is not purely Japanese. It takes the best of what the others offer and enhances every aspect with dishes that are more culturally diverse. This place is a must. What an experience.

We booked a table for a special mid-week dinner at Rogues having been intrigued by the seasonal menu. The Restaurant is short walk from both Cambridge Heath and Bethnal Green, with such a humble edifice, that you can miss the entrance, as we did initially. We were seated by a wonderful waitress, who seated us in a wonderfully subtle restaurant, that had a chic minimalistic atmosphere. The menu presented to us was both interesting and varied in the flavour combinations. The menu is designed for diners to choose a number of small plates from which to share, which some may not be to some people's tastes. There are no starters at Rogues, instead these are replaced by "Bites", you will have to order one of each "Bite" per person. These were very well balanced and left us wanting to order more, but more importantly excited for the food to follow. I should also add that we chose to order from the a la carte menu, but there is a set menu available, which was very reasonably priced at £59 per person. "Bites" are then followed by the small plates main courses. We opted for the Sourdough with Bovril butter, Cured Sea Trout, Katsu Cod Collar, Barbecued Cabbage and Kimchi, and the Highland Rump. I believe the menu is seasonal and subject to change so these may not be available at the time of your visit. I enjoyed all of the dishes, but some of the flavours could be a little overpowering for some plates, although I really all of the dishes. Our personal favourites, were the Sourdough, which was incredibly light, the Cured Sea trout, which my wife loved, but I felt there needed to be more of the dill pickle to balance out the bitterness of the grapefruit, and the Katsu Cod Collar, which I really enjoyed but my wife, thought the flavours were too strong. From pricing perspective, we paid c. £60 per head with a glass of wine each, which for a fine dining experience is very good. I would highly recommend Rogues, for anyone who is really enjoys fine dining, the seasonal menu is unique, offers great variety for dinners at whichever time of year they chose to attend. I would rate it as 4.5/5.
