@revolve.london Broadgate 100, Liverpool St, London EC2M 2PP Nestled on the cusp of London’s vibrant E1 postcode and the towers of The City, lies 100 Liverpool Street. An energetic hive, home to the city’s largest pedestrianised neighbourhood as well as East London’s present mass of construction sites. Here the immaculate Revolve Brasserie sits, tucked away on Broadgate Circle.
Revolve marks the first outing for hospitality group Adamo, the lovechild of the vastly experienced Andrew Fishwick (Truscott Arms), Tristram Hillier (Corney & Barrow) and Romain Pottier (KOKO London). Consequently, Revolve aims to pair Parisian classicism with a gilded New York brasserie style. The interior owes itself to Hillier’s smart eye for design, a clear time-honoured brasserie ambience coupled with subtle nods to the contemporary, the late British abstract expressionist John Hoyland’s paintings lining the walls. The RA would most certainly approve.
Head Chef Arran Smith, previously of Scott’s Mayfair, presides over a carefully curated menu of timeless French dishes which lend themselves to celebrating produce from across the British Isles. Smith’s inventive modern tweaks add a certain elegance to choice dishes ensuring the conceivable danger of an enervated menu has been avoided.
The resulting dishes range from a delicately acerbic Worcester sauce Beef Tartare to an English broad bean, pea, and morel risotto, placed next to French stalwarts such as Coq au Vin, various Tarte Tatin and Côte de Boeuf. In doing so, combining classic cooking with a modern distinction.
Pedigree aside, what may truly draw the eye to Revolve as a choice destination is their fast-approaching summer events series. A perceptive list of promising and vouched for Michelin-starred talent entrusted to impart their skill and culinary talent within Revolve’s four walls. The likes of two Michelin-starred Gareth Ward, rising star John Javier and fusion pioneer Anna Hasen MBE are all set to grace East London in the coming months.
