The 3 Crowns restaurant is drawing a new map around Old Street and has turned a former street-corner pub into an honest open-kitchen restaurant updating traditional British and European dishes.

In a discreet dining room, refuge from the hubbub of the busy bar, head chef Lee Urch cooks food with recognition of the season and the provenance of the ingredients, serving fish, fowl and flesh married to accompaniments that savour taste, texture and colour.

Enjoy lunch and dinner in an understated, wood-pannelled restaurant heightened by eye-catching wall art. If you are looking for real food, cooked simply, seasoned intelligently, joined by a diverse drinks list in comfortable surroundings, then you have just found it.
