5 Reasons to Dine Early This Autumn in ShoreditchExplore Lantana Shoreditch’s new fixed-price dinner menu
There’s a quiet revolution happening in London’s dining scene and it starts before sunset.
Early dinners are officially in. From the rise of “6pm bookings” to the art of winding down with good food before the city gets loud, we’re embracing a slower, more social kind of evening.
Here’s why your next night out in Shoreditch should start early and why our new dinner menu at Lantana Shoreditch is the perfect excuse to try it.
1. The early table is the best table
That golden hour glow. The hum of the kitchen just finding its rhythm.
Book a 5pm or 5.30pm slot and you’ll catch Shoreditch at its most atmospheric... lively, but never rushed. It’s the sweet spot for anyone who loves good conversation and great food without the late-night chaos.
2. The city’s catching on
According to The Times, early evening dining has become one of the biggest post-pandemic trends and we’re here for it.
More people are choosing 5 pm to 7 pm dinners as the new way to socialise, reset, and still make the morning gym session (or the last train).
At Lantana Shoreditch, our Fixed Price Dinner Menu is designed exactly for that:
Starter + Classic for £26, served from 5 pm – 9 pm
3. You’ll want time to explore the menu
This isn’t your average midweek dinner.
Start with Fried Chicken Karaage or Bang Bang Cauliflower, then move into one of our all-time classics maybe the Nasi Goreng with caramelised black-pepper pork belly, or our Harissa Roasted Butternut Squash for something plant-powered and vibrant.
Every dish is crafted from scratch with bold flavours and a touch of Aussie energy. Perfect for unwinding after work or starting your evening out in Shoreditch.
4. The cocktails deserve your full attention
Evenings here begin with a clink.
Sip on a New York Sour, Ginger Daiquiri, or our new signature Matchatini - a creamy matcha twist on a martini. And if you needed another reason? Every Sapling cocktail plants a tree.
So, go on stay for that second round and know you’re doing some good while you’re at it.
5. Because dinner should feel good
From the first bite to the last spoonful of Sticky Toffee Pudding, our new menu is about comfort, conversation, and connection. It’s food that feels like a treat, without the fuss.
And in a neighbourhood like Shoreditch, where creativity never clocks off, it’s the perfect place to start (or end) your evening.
