Shoreditch is renowned for its eclectic food scene, where classic culinary traditions meet contemporary innovation. At the heart of this vibrant dining district lies Bistro Freddie, a 45-cover restaurant from HAM Restaurants that showcases the very best of British produce and French wine. Whether you're seeking an intimate dinner, a relaxed lunch, or a grand feast with friends, Bistro Freddie delivers an experience that captures the essence of fine bistro dining with a distinctly East London edge.
Bistro Freddie’s menu is a masterful blend of British ingredients and classic French influences, offering a selection of dishes that cater to both casual diners and serious food lovers. Our commitment to quality is evident in every bite, whether you’re indulging in a grilled bavette steak with peppercorn sauce or savouring a perfectly balanced monkfish dish with mussels and dippisoise.
To begin your meal, the selection of starters offers a delightful mix of comforting classics and inventive flavour combinations. The steak tartare with fried bread is a must-try for those who appreciate bold, meaty flavours, while the smoked mackerel rillette on toast delivers a smoky, silky richness that pairs beautifully with a crisp white wine.
For a lighter yet equally indulgent option, the endive, fig, walnut, and blue cheese salad offers a wonderful contrast of textures and tastes. Meanwhile, the flatbreads with marinated brassicas or beef cheek bring a rustic yet refined touch to the table, perfect for sharing.
Moving on to the mains, Bistro Freddie’s grill and classic dishes are where the kitchen truly shines. The grilled bavette steak with peppercorn sauce is a standout, offering tender meat cooked to perfection, while the confit pork belly with black pudding and apple balances richness with a hint of sweetness.
Seafood lovers will be drawn to the monkfish with mussels and dippisoise, a dish that highlights the freshness of premium British seafood. Meanwhile, for those who enjoy a comforting yet sophisticated dish, the Devonshire chicken with jambonette and marsala sauce is a warming and deeply flavourful choice.
For a unique dining experience, the chicken, girolles, and liver pie are designed for sharing, making it the perfect centrepiece for a feasting menu.
No meal at Bistro Freddie is complete without our carefully curated sides and desserts. The chips with mayonnaise are a classic choice, while the Comté polenta offers a richer, cheesier indulgence. The roast cabbage is a fantastic option for those looking to add a touch of smokiness and depth to their meal.
When it comes to dessert, Bistro Freddie delivers comfort and elegance in equal measure. Our sticky toffee pudding is a timeless British favourite, while the Mayan red chocolate tart offers a deep, luxurious chocolate hit.
Bistro Freddie’s drink selection is just as impressive as its food. Our French wine list is carefully curated to pair beautifully with the menu, and our selection of cocktails ensures there’s something for every palate.
