INIS is a canal-side restaurant at 13 Rookwood Way on Fish Island in east London. Its name means island in Irish, and the relaxed dining room grew from a love of the local neighbourhood, community and waterside setting.
The seasonal menu celebrates Irish and British produce with simple, carefully judged combinations. Potato scallops with chip-shop curry sauce, ham and coleslaw on brown bread and a chicken fillet roll bring familiar Irish references into a contemporary restaurant format.
Larger plates change with the seasons and can include a spice bag or hot-smoked trout with tartare sauce and Jersey Royal potatoes. Breakfast, brunch, lunch and Sunday service give the restaurant different rhythms across the week.
Coffee, wine and cocktails accompany the food, with Guinness cake and Irish whiskey drinks carrying the theme into dessert and the bar. INIS is wheelchair accessible and dog friendly; guests with allergies should still confirm the latest ingredients and preparation with staff.
Address: 13 Rookwood Way, Fish Island, London E3 2XT, England
