Resident of Paradise Row (Bethnal Green)

• Both times the food was of very generous portions
• Resident of Paradise Row (Bethnal Green) is my new favourite bar/ restaurant in London
• All of which sounded delicious but it was the fresh pea arancini with habanero sauce I had been fantasizing about all day so I had to have that
• Our waiter told us it was a very good choice
• Added to this I ordered the chorizo with rosemary pinto beans and we also got padron peppers
• Came on top of the toast with the poached egg
• I washed it all down with a glass of Estrella
• The chorizo sausage was fantastic the perfect texture and enough spice to give it a kick without being overbearing for brunch
• The poached egg was cooked well and even though I'm not a massive egg fan
• The guacamole was the star for me though tasty and vibrant with a great smooth texture
• It worked very well with the filling rye bread
• We did have a few issues with service we were seated upstairs and often felt ignored for long periods
• Staff also began to move tables out from storage noisily around us which was rather offputting
• There were also a few issues with the food arriving one of the group recieved the wrong salmon dish and one person's side dish arrived when she had almost finished the rest of her meal
• I'm hoping we caught them on an off day as Resident has excellent food with service brought up to standard
• We had a few dishes to share and the service was very friendly
