The Spitz
109 Commercial Street
Old Spitalfields
London
E1 6BG
When you have a restaurant that has performing space, diners can sometimes feel as if the eating part of the evening ranks second place to the musical part, but not at The Spitz. With a ringside seat on the lively scene that is Spitalfields Market, The Spitz is a warm, friendly bistro, gallery and music venue in the City. It attracts an eclectic crowd, part City suits, part arty East Enders, part tourists and market-goers, who enjoy an equally eclectic menu. Some love the tables outside, while others opt for the candlelit indoors. The live jazz every Friday night brings a buzz to a lively atmosphere while chilled out live beats play every Saturday night. The Spitz has also introduced live music on Monday's and Tuesday's. On classical Monday you will be treated to heavenly sounds from the likes of a harpist, and on Tuesdays a live Brazilian trio or live jazz trio delights diners. And what's better, it's all for free.<BR> Food wise, the breads are terrific. Try starter of beetroot tatin with mascarpone and goat's cheese ice cream, or crispy duck with warm salad of figs,potatoes and baby spinach, and main courses of spring lam on braised fennel with baby veg, or stir-fried salmon with Asian greens, egg noodles,and soya butter sauce. There are very good veggie dishes. Wines and beers include organic options.
