bread&truffle. London Fields — Restaurant in London

Situated picturesquely underneath the arches of the overground and right next to the beautiful London Fields open space, Bread & Truffle is a perfect spot for a takeaway or sit down experience. The chilled outside seating is perfect for a midday brunch; the interior wonderfully decorated with the vinyl library, excellent sound system, and well stocked bar.

I went for the ‘Twisted Caprese’ and what struck me on my first bite was the wonderful variation in texture. The focaccia bit effortlessly with a lovely crunch and erupted with the juicy flavours of the contents, a perfect balance of taste. The zest of the basil, the sweet and earthy hint of the cherry tomatoes, the milk of the mozzarella, and the oils from the bread all rolled up in perfect harmony. I paused as I chewed and looked down and the sandwich, honestly lamenting the fact that it had to finish, and enjoying how the flavours all developed. No single flavour trying to hog the glory, working seamlessly in unison, doing their part to hold the food up. Team players.

I also snuck in a cut from my company’s ‘Da Pepperoni’ which featured nduja (a taste I’m fond of) and this hit the spot too. If you’re a meat lover then I’d highly recommend this one.

Between the two seating areas I would feel comfortable here alone or with company. The staff are very friendly, accommodating, and clearly passionate about their product (always a good sign when the staff eat where they work).

Definitely...

We have been coming to B&T since it opened so we are very familiar with the quality of their sandwiches. Hadn’t been since last summer and after our lunchtime visit today I doubt we will be coming back. Ordered a Mortazza with extra taleggio and a Truffle Ham- we could not spot the extra cheese on one or the truffle on the other by opening them up and inspecting them and when I took them to the guy behind the till asking him which one is which he looked completely indifferent about it. I said to him we can’t actually tell the difference between the sandwiches and can’t even smell the truffle oil but he could not have been less bothered about it.

The sandwiches were very poorly filled, more bread than filling in both of them and the flavour was generally mild and not at all how they used to be. Clearly a sign of “shrinkflation” but generally the quality is...

A tiny morsel situated in a quiet enclave of london fields, Bread and Truffle prides itself in their blind zeal for faultlessly reputable focaccia. Restorative to find a place which takes such pride in the quality of its ingredients to create products which reflect values of authentic craftsmanship, whilst remaining accessible.

Even after tasting the entire menu - albeit a couple, it is hard to pick out a favourite focaccia as they are all to such high standard and clearly had a lot of love and work behind accomplishing them. One truly salient experience however, is the pistachio pesto with the burrata... it is simply remarkable.

Bread and Truffle has rapidly become a staple in our week.

Special thanks to Simone and the team for never failing to impress us time and time again. We look forward to seeing the...
