St. JOHN BREAD and WINE
St. JOHN BREAD and WINE opened across the street from London's Spitalfields Market in May 2003.
We're open for breakfast from 9.00 am to 11.00 am on Monday to Friday and 9.00 am to 11.00 am on weekends.
Lunch is from noon to 4.00 pm seven days a week. Supper from 6.00 pm to 10.30 pm Monday to Saturday and until 9.00 pm on Sunday evenings.
Initially the idea was to find a home for our bakery operations, which had somewhat outgrown the original Smithfield restaurant, which would include a simple food offering and possible wine shop.
As plans for the former bank developed, and as people expressed interest, it became apparent that there was a desire for a restaurant and so the Commercial Street premises became the dining room, wine shop and bakery it now is.
Bread and Wine reflects the rythmns of its' locale, opening for breakfast, lunch and supper seven days a week (see reservations for our full opening hours). Whilst observing the same respect for seasonal, indigenous ingredients and the "the whole beast" as the bigger sister restaurant. It very much beats its own drum with a menu structured towards a slightly less formal manner of dining, with guests actively encouraged to share dishes as they're ready from the kitchen.
When the chefs and waiters finish, the bakers take over preparing loaves for both restaurants, counter sales and wholesale customers.
