Rochelle Canteen in Tower Hamlets

Was invited here by someone who had been told to go here and I think that's the only way you'll ever find out about it!It's way off the beaten track in London as it sits in a very residential area and it's entrance takes some finding if you've not been forewarned because it says in the playground of a victorian schoolEverything is extremely fresh, so the menu changes every day, depending on what ingredients they have.I had monkfish with a side order of cabbage and new potatoes and it was wonderful, extremely tasty and something I'd definitely have again - if its on the menu next time!The service was great and despite it being a chilly day, the clear marquee was very warmThis is a great find for anyone looking for somewhere unique to eat

Dined here on a Thursday evening. The restaurant was busy! Very nice environment. Ordered quail to start, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Also ordered rabbit saddle as a main. Didn’t look so good on the plate so didn’t take a picture. It was a bit dry. All the sides were good.

Simple but really delicious and good quality food. Nice garden setting and tables far enough that there is some level of privacy and you don't talk over each other. Recommended!

Unassuming yet amazing little spot off the beaten path. Fantastic wine selection. The skate was perfectly cooked, and super simple. Loved the side of buttered cabbage too.

Such a fantastic restaurant! I've lived in London my whole life and would never have known about this hidden gem behind the gate. We went for lunch and it was super cosy and welcoming. Awesome location, beautiful vibe, great service and fantastic food. A simple but carefully curated menu - only downside was that we didn't have room for pudding! Would highly recommend.

One of my favourite restaurants in London. Situated in a converted bike shed of an old school that has now been divided up as a creative space for small businesses. The outdoor seating area is something out of a fairy tale, the school garden is well kept and boasts lovley trees and plants. They have now implemented a permanent green house structure, which means shelter from bad weather or a lovley setting to enjoy the sun.The food is sensational, a real pallette pleaser. The chefs compose such unique but well executed dishes. The menu changes from time to time, often with retaining a classic or two. I have had the pleasure of visiting here more than a dozen times and already received the same consistency of service and culinary excellence (the place should have a michelin start at least). Rochelle Canteen will always have a special place.

Delicious food, fantastic setting with friendly service!

Hidden gem for simple yet elegantly elevated British cuisine featuring seasonal, fresh local ingredients. They have somewhat crowded indoor seating and a lovely courtyard when the weather is nice. It’s relatively pricy for what it offers and the service is hit or miss.

What is there to say, small place, few tables, amazing time. The two go hand in hand.Sat in that room you have the opportunity to experience the kitchen and everyone else enjoying the food alongside you. What great British wholesome dishes.From lamb, squash, green sauce to a beef pie with suet crust this place is a treasure trove of wonderful dishes that will not only leave you feeling full but also wholesome and happy.The last time I was there I had the pear crumble as a special and my god it was insane.I always can’t wait to come back.Thank you Rochelle (you guys are the best)

Very nice hidden restaurant with simple but original menu. The food was just great, we tried almost everything and all of it was on spot in terms of flavour and portion size.Great atmosphere and knowledgeable staff. The only downside was the waiting time. But I will always be happy to come back.
