January 2025 – A London Journal

Resto 2, Corbaçi, Green Lanes

For £15 a head I don't think you could get better value anywhere else on Green Lanes (except, perhaps Umut 2000). Recommended.

The room is over a hundred years old (as, it would seem, is most of the clientèle).

A sprinkling of sides and we were all very jolly old bastards tumbling into the afternoon.

The offer is an excellent variety of wine by the glass (and bottle) with sliced raw meat/cheese/olives/bread.

One of those moments where you feel lucky to be alive.
