If you ever wanted to know how an iranian cafe from back in the days has felt – this is your chance. Dishoom is mixing and matching Indian and Iranian traditions and is adding a touch of London cool. The Shoreditch location is Trendengel’s favorite. Don miss the Black daal, the Calamari and the cocktails (1948 sour is amazing. 
This is the catch Unless you are at least 6 people you will have to wait for a table as they don’t take reservations. The wait can be long – but be assured: It is worth every minute.

Living Produce Aisle – Vancouver Takes it to the Next Level
Green fxxxxx juices are all the rage. Local and from farm to table are expressions you hear more and more. One company in Vancouver takes it to the next level and produces not only the juices in house but grows all the ingrediences there. They are called Living Produce Aisle. , This is what they say: Living Produce Aisle is a commitment to living fresh. We want to provide healthy and nutritious food to every household, as we think that it’s important to promote better lifestyles. We want to revitalize Yaletown and provide the neighbourhood with the Zero Mile Diet™, meaning that they’ll be able to harvest food only minutes from their own home.
Industry Standard – Berlin is Setting the Standard
Berlin does not have to hide behind London, Paris and New York when it comes to innovative food. Industry Standard in the middle of Neukölln is a good example. This is what they say about themselves:
We believe in giving whole beasts their due, and that extends not only to offal and off-cuts, the high-lights and low-lights of the flesh, but to the radishes and rutabagas that went into making them. We want to extend this philosophy into everything on offer at Industry Standard: From the inspired witchery of our house-made bitters to our selection of natural and biodynamic wines (curated by Viniculture) that express the soil and sea, the sky and the sweat that fed them. Forgotten or unexpected connections. Whole beasts, some of which, admittedly, may be mythical.
We think that “comfort food” is a played-out conceit signaling compromise more than any attempt to really connect. Food can be challenging as well as comforting – comforting because it is just goddamn delicious.
So for drinking, fighting, feasting, lusting, larding and barding, reverent riffs on deserved classics, come to Neukölln. We will feed you.
Well – this is what TrendEngel says: This is one of the most surprising discoveries of the year. The tartar is extraordinary and very very special and the cauliflower to die for.

Clove Club – British at its Best
It can sometimes be hard to know if a restaurant is trying to make food that you will savour and enjoy, or is simply creating dishes to feed the Instagram craze. Taking no chances, Shoreditch’s Clove Club is doing both.
The Clove Club’s menu is a masterpiece of contemporary aspirations. With a no-choice list of nine courses, there’s no possibility of a fashion faux pas when ordering. This daily-changing menu is economically worded. It describes a succession of small plates: dishes which are seasonal, that champion British produce, yet are oddly esoteric. It is both accessible and obscurantist.
Everything comes together in the amazing building of Shoreditch town hall. Food to dream about long after you left – especially the heavenly buttermilk chicken and pine salt.
