Lino, The Back Room
Lino 90 Bartholomew Close, London, EC1A 7EB -
Up to
70 standing
That means everything is made in-house, from morning pastries to your midnight fix of croissant-infused ice cream(!) and charcuterie boards – all made with low-waste ingredients. The team have even thought about LINO’s design: a clover-shaped, tulip-wood bar is their work of art, complemented by shades of peach and pink throughout the space.
Beyond the buzz of the main bar is The Back Room, where things are bit more relaxed. Catch-up over a coffee in the morning, or grab something to go. And if you’re stopping in for the evening there’s a selection of small plates that go perfectly with a glass of wine or one of our cocktails. The Back Room can also be booked for private dinners and events.

July 2021Had a lovely dinner here. The food was fresh, delicious and presented beautifully. We had the smoked beetroot with hazelnuts (our favourite), sauerkraut croquettes, grilled courgette and asparagus main and triple cooked chips - all vegetarian. The waiter was very attentive and friendly, cannot fault the service. Loved the decor and atmosphere inside, perfect for a low key dinner. Food was reasonably priced given the location, venue and quality.

February 2020A new bar looking to establish itself in the area. A spacious bar with high ceilings and plenty of room for after work groups or those looking to meet up with friends. Fine for the wine, cocktails and food and a good environment to be in. Will revisit in due course to see how this up and coming bar develops.

May 2021After closing for more than a year (if i am correct) we were excited to try this restaurant. However, the food was actually quite disappointing despite how good they look. Bread was stale, lamb heart was cold and chewy, confit pork was under seasoned and fish was really bad with chewy chicken skin instead of crispy. The only dish that was acceptable was the mackerel tartar. Also disappointed with some items in the menu were not available as they haven't got a fryer. Feel sorry the waiter. He was the only waiter servicing roughly more than 20 tables. It gave me the impression that the management has not fully prepared for the reopening.

July 2021Booked a table for 7:30. Turned up on time and were told the kitchen closes at 7:30. Would have cancelled the table but there was a charge of £10 per head, so we rushed to order. The food was good, the hospitality or management was unfortunately poorly thought out.
