Rochelle Canteen: Seasonal British Cuisine in a Hidden Garden Oasis
Tucked behind an unmarked door in Shoreditch’s Arnold Circus, Rochelle Canteen is a serene escape from the city’s bustle. Housed in a former Victorian school’s bike shed, this hidden garden dining spot offers a tranquil courtyard where seasonal British cuisine shines. Co-founded by Margot Henderson OBE, the chef-led kitchen presents a daily-changing menu that celebrates simplicity and quality. Dishes like grilled mackerel with peas and horseradish or onglet with beetroot and anchovy exemplify their commitment to letting ingredients speak for themselves. The rustic, pared-back décor complements the casual fine dining experience, making it an East London gem. Critics have lauded Rochelle Canteen for its understated excellence. SquareMeal praises it as a “true culinary masterpiece,” highlighting its focus on seasonal produce and exceptional execution. The Good Food Guide describes it as “pretty much idyllic,” noting the daily-changing menu as a celebration of Anglo-European cookery. Time Out emphasises its unique setting, calling it a “gorgeous garden restaurant and London landmark.” Open for lunch daily and dinner Wednesday to Saturday, Rochelle Canteen offers vegetarian options and a concise, European-focused wine list. Whether you're seeking a leisurely lunch or an intimate dinner, this spot delivers a memorable dining experience.
