I have to admit, I am a self-confessed foodie. There is nothing my boyfriend/family and I love doing more than going for dinner and eating until it gets to the point we're on the brink of a food coma. If I'm honest, this (accompanied by my shopping addiction) is what most of my spare money goes on and when I'm happiest. I just love finding hidden gems and trying new places and reporting back to my friends and family on my favourite finds.
A few months back I was watching Lily Pebbles on snapchat and saw she was in Shoreditch eating, what looked like, the most incredible street food I'd ever seen. Being the food obsessor that I am, I swiftly got my ass on google and looked up food markets in Shoreditch and came across the website for Dinerama. This was just what I was searching for; A place which offers so much choice and is edgy and cool with it. After looking at the different types of food on offer I was hooked and debating when I could visit.
I don't live near Shoreditch, or very near London for that matter so popping to Dinerama for me isn't easy. It just so happened that I mentioned how obsessed I was with the idea of this place, to my parents a month or so ago, and they came up with the idea of going to London for my birthday and stopping by Dinerama whilst there. And that, my friends, is exactly what we did!
This was my first visit to Shoreditch, and I quickly began to realise that this area of London differed from some of the areas I had visited before. This place was more urban and stylish.
When we first walked into Dinerama, this place looked a little underwhelming. Old containers are piled up and it seems a little bit dodgy if I'm totally honest. Now I'm not going to lie, I could have easily turned around and waked away upon first look but I am soo glad I looked past the initial picture and continued to walk in. Once I got to the main area where all the eateries are and the seating area is, this anxiety diminished and I instantly fell in love with this place. Dinerama is hands down one of the coolest places I have ever been to. The design is so effortless and stripped back and as a result everything just felt so laid back here. The area is scattered with booths selling a variety of different foods and then there are just a few long benches in the middle for you to grab a seat and take in the edgy London atmosphere.
When it comes to food, I am not joking when I say this was some of the best food I've ever tasted. My family and I all chose something from a different stand and then brought all we had together to share. This I would definitely recommend because then you get to try a bit of everything! I cannot tell you how amazing the Yum Bun pork belly buns were, OMG I need a lorry full of these! Another favourite were the ribs accompanied by Cajun fries! (If I could insert a heart eyed emoji right now I would). We also tried BBQ chicken wings, hoi-sin duck wraps and duck fat chips. It was all amazing. One thing I didn't try, were the sliders which looked incredible - one for next time!
I cannot recommend this place more! Dinerama is a place I can't wait to visit again and Shoreditch as a whole is a really cool place to go. We also went to Box Park whilst in Shoreditch and that again was a really different and fun experience. I can't help but think how amazing the night life must be here and that Dinerama must come alive in the night time!
I hope you've enjoyed me rambling on about food. Let me know if you'd like more of these sort of posts! Oh and please tell me more amazing places to eat both in London and elsewhere!
Okay now I'm hungry.
Lots of Love,
Jade
