London's Kingsland Road is road to Vietnamese food-lovers what Brick Lane is to curry fanatics. Where else would London's first Vietnamese grill open? Viet Grill looks nice; modern and, well, newer than its neighbours. Its menu is vast; everything sounds amazing. Loads of distinctive soup and noodle dishes, seafood specialties, and best of all, 'from the grill' - a tempting selection of predominantly meat dishes, including beef wrapped in fragrant leaves which you grill yourself at the table. Nowhere else in London can you order free-range quail stuffed with fly agaric mushrooms, ground peppered pork and mung bean noodles in a lotus seed broth - a Hanoi specialty. Don't expect the green tea traditionally served in Vietnamese restaurants, but a gentler jasmine tea.
Average Price per person: Under £24
