Behind
Behind is a Michelin-starred gem offering an extraordinary chef-led counter dining experience tucked away in the creative heart of London Fields. Founded by acclaimed chef Andy Beynon, the restaurant seats just 18 guests around a sleek horseshoe-shaped counter, creating an intimate and immersive setting where the boundary between kitchen and diner disappears. The spotlight here is firmly on Britain’s seasonal bounty, with a seafood-forward tasting menu that evolves regularly. Each course is prepared and served directly by the chefs, showcasing a deeply personal and precise approach to modern British cuisine in an elegant, pared-back environment that feels both relaxed and refined. Behind’s reputation was cemented just 20 days after opening, when it was awarded a coveted Michelin star — a reflection of its bold vision and remarkable execution (Michelin Guide). SquareMeal commends its tactile service and warm hospitality, noting the care and detail in every element of the experience (SquareMeal). With lunch available Thursday to Saturday and dinner served Wednesday through Saturday, this East London treasure is ideal for discerning diners seeking an unforgettable tasting menu, intimate dining moments, and the thrill of a chef's table.
