Opera

Eastern European cuisine may not be the first thought that East Londoners have when they decide to eat out, but with restaurants like Opera in Leytonstone, it absolutely should be. Yep, on High Road, not far at all from Leytonstone underground, this is a predominantly Russian restaurant with a menu that’s unique and interesting. Start, perhaps, with potato draniki with sour cream before a main of pelmeni dumplings, chicken pancakes or a sharing platter of herring with pork belly and potato. Opera is a memorable and extremely pleasing Eastern European meal out in London– reserve a table now.
