"SlowBurn sits on a stretch of Walthamstow that's more grit than glamour - opposite a funeral care centre and next to a petrol garage - but that's kind of the point. This part of E17's got character, and behind the corrugated steel doors of Blackhorse Lane Ateliers, you'll find a restaurant that shares space with a working jeans atelier - and yep, you're quite literally sliding past spools of fabric before you reach your table."
"Start things off with the cauliflower fritters - crisp, perfectly seasoned, and served with a smoked garlic aioli that deserves its own jar. Black bean gyoza tacos, SlowBurn's cult classic, balancing crunch, spice, and the kind of umami. We followed with the ox cheek and tail potato rösti, a slow-cooked dish finished with just the right amount of Parmigiano richness."
"Vegetables take centre stage throughout. The Hispi cabbage, glazed in beer and miso, arrives beautifully charred and nutty, topped with a celeriac and mint dressing. The Violino pumpkin brings smoky, sweet depth with cranberry and ancho chilli - the definition of autumn comfort. For those leaning toward meat, the smoked Fosse Meadows chicken is a standout. For dessert the Cru Virunga 70% dark chocolate and date tart with raspberry sorbet is refined and intense, but it's the tiramisu that steals the show."
SlowBurn occupies a gritty Walthamstow stretch opposite a funeral care centre and beside a petrol garage, sharing space with a working jeans atelier inside Blackhorse Lane Ateliers. The restaurant offers an industrial-chic, relaxed evening vibe and a vegetable-forward menu where meat plays backup. Starters include cauliflower fritters with smoked garlic aioli and cult-favourite black bean gyoza tacos; mains range from ox cheek and tail potato rösti to charred Hispi cabbage and smoky Violino pumpkin. Smoked Fosse Meadows chicken suits meat lovers. Desserts include Cru Virunga 70% chocolate and a classic tiramisu. The drinks list is sharply curated.
