The Diner Shoreditch

Red leather banquettes & an atmosphere of short-order urgency send out all the right style signals at this enjoyable Shoreditch American, & the food has plenty of substance to underpin the transatlantic tone. Pick from a high-calorie list that includes everything from Californian burgers with Monterey Jack & guacamole to chilli dogs & Philly cheese steaks. Not surprisingly breakfast is quite an event, with blueberry pancakes, cinnamon-dipped French toast & much more besides. Wash it all down with Banana Bread beer, a strawberry milkshake or a glass of something affordable from the nine-bin wine list.
