Savour the Finest Grilled Mains in Shoreditch at Bistro Freddie

When it comes to expertly grilled dishes that celebrate British produce with finesse, few places in London deliver like Bistro Freddie. Located in the heart of Shoreditch, this 45-cover gem from HAM Restaurants marries the warmth and elegance of a French bistro with the bold flavours and quality of seasonal British ingredients.

A short stroll from Shoreditch High Street and Liverpool Street Station, Bistro Freddie is ideally positioned for locals, visitors and city workers alike. Whether you’re in the mood for a sophisticated lunch, a relaxing dinner or a celebration with friends, this charming East London spot promises a menu that’s both refined and soul-satisfying — especially when it comes to its grilled mains.

A Grilled Menu That Celebrates Simplicity and Skill

Grilled dishes are the heart of any good bistro menu, and at Bistro Freddie, they shine. Each main is prepared with attention to detail, showcasing the natural quality of the ingredients without overcomplication. The restaurant’s grill & mains section offers a carefully curated selection of dishes that appeal to both traditionalists and modern food lovers.

Start with the Spring Lamb Rack, beautifully paired with ratatouille and a red pepper jus. This dish is a perfect example of British meat meeting Mediterranean technique, with each bite balancing rich, tender lamb against the sweetness and acidity of slow-cooked vegetables.

For seafood lovers, the Grilled Monkfish with Fennel and Bouillabaisse is not to be missed. This coastal-inspired dish brings a delicate char to the meaty monkfish, complemented by the aromatic broth and fragrant fennel. It’s a fine choice for those seeking something both light and deeply flavourful.

Then there’s the Devonshire Chicken, grilled to perfection and served with chestnut mushrooms and wild garlic. A comfort classic elevated with earthy, seasonal touches, this dish is ideal for those who crave something hearty but elegant.

More than Meat – Innovative Mains for All Tastes

Vegetarians are well catered for too, with dishes like the Pea Ravioli with Pickled Artichoke and Goat’s Cheese offering a fresh, punchy alternative to traditional grilled meat mains. It's a spring-inspired plate that celebrates the garden, offering a satisfying contrast of textures and tangy, creamy richness.

If you're sharing, the standout showstopper is the Pork, Prune d’Agen & Braised Gem Lettuce Pie (for two). While not grilled in the traditional sense, this dish reflects the same spirit of precision, bold flavour, and rustic charm that defines the grill menu. It’s big, rich, and perfect for indulgent evenings.

An Unforgettable Setting for Any Occasion

The dining room at Bistro Freddie is cosy yet sophisticated, designed to feel just as suited to a quiet date night as it is to a group dinner.

With a capacity for 50 seated guests or 80 standing, the venue also caters to private hire, events and celebrations. Whether it’s a business lunch, birthday, wedding reception or a curated feasting menu for friends, Bistro Freddie’s event offering is just as thoughtful and delicious as its daily service.

Pair It with Wine, Cocktails or Something Stronger

Of course, grilled mains deserve proper company, and Bistro Freddie’s drinks list more than delivers. A concise but well-chosen wine list features excellent French bottles — the perfect match for everything from lamb to monkfish. For something a little stronger, explore a cocktail menu.
