Galvin Bistrot & Bar is a French Mediterranean restaurant at 35 Spital Square, with its entrance on Bishops Square. It shares its historic Spitalfields building with Galvin La Chapelle but has a distinct, relaxed identity suited to lunch, dinner and after-work dining.

Chef Director Arturo Granato’s menu follows the seasons and draws on the food cultures of France, Italy and Spain. Small plates take cues from tapas and Venetian cicchetti, while the raw bar, homemade pasta, pizzetta and larger grilled dishes allow the table to build either a light meal or a generous shared spread.

Current choices can move from oysters, croquettes and marinated vegetables to seafood, pasta and carefully sourced meat from the grill. Desserts continue the European theme, and the drinks list gives vermouth a prominent role alongside Mediterranean wines and cocktails.

The light filled dining room opens onto an alfresco terrace marked by the restaurant’s red umbrellas, and the venue offers step free access. Menus change, so guests with allergies or dietary requirements should check the current selection and notify the team before ordering.

Address: 35 Spital Square, entrance on Bishops Square, London E1 6DY, England
