In the interminably long Old Street, where a chaotic mix of period terraces vies for attention against glitzy tech towers, Plates cuts through the noise like a breath of fresh air. The restaurant, the enterprise of siblings Kirk (an alumnus of The French Laundry and Restaurant Sat Bains) and Keeley Haworth, excels in reimagining the possibilities of plant-based fine dining through technical innovation and a passion for flavour. Plates stands as a much-needed green escape for the palate.
