St John Bread & Wine

(Community Matters) Minimalist food – the place would easily fit in Marfa, though I can’t imagine the challenges of sourcing.  Next to Spitalfields Market, it was my & Steven’s first time to St John Bread & Wine, the more casual cousin of St John Bar & Restaurant.  Playwright Lisa D’Amour and her boyfriend composer & new york theater company founder Brendan Connelly (Two-Headed Calf) met us. 

Cauliflower, Chickpeas & Leeks; Globe Artichoke Vinaigrette; Brown Shrimp Salad; Mussels, Cider & Tarrago; and a Barley Rabbit – we shared. Felt like a traditional English theme but one doesn’t think of traditional English as so well seasoned & spiced. We’ll definitely be back – it’s up there with Amoul’s as one of our favorite London lunch spots. (of course we had lunch at Amoul’s yesterday)
