Bouchon

This restaurant has sprung up as one of the newest offerings in the Spitalfields shopping complex offering consumer and cuisine diversity within its long standing (revamped) walls.
Moi oui, could I can smell the simmering seafood from my bedroom window even before opening its airy doors. This Gallic brasserie offers a wide range of seafood including French and British oysters (starting at £1.80 and £1.60 per oyster respectively) and large plates of seafood sized for two to share start at £35 for a selection of eight oysters, tiger prawns, a crab, mussels, whelks, winkles and two varieties of clams, with the most expensive platter including a whole lobster priced at £58.
The rustic cheese trolley is laden with over forty regional French cheeses where you can choose a selection of three (£6), five (£8.95) or seven (£12) different cheeses, although be warned post fromage lethargy may warrant a healthy catnap if you’d planned a power shop.
The dessert options are just as decadent so it’s definitely worth ordering a selection to share. A giant glass of chocolate mousse (£6.50) decorated with langue de chat and infused with fluffy whipped cream puts the finishing touches to a pricey yet luxuriant experience in this ever emerging hive of activity.
