Our Food

Contemporary European cuisine typified by three main qualities.

First – the food. Sourced from the finest local produce.

Downstairs chooses free-range eggs and meat from Baldwin’s butchers. Fruit and vegetables from the Ridley Road market.

Second – the chefs. Highly trained, sharp witted and riding on the crest of the twentieth century’s culinary wave.

Third – creativity.Our chefs evolve the menu in accordance with the season, gastronomic trends and their own creative interests of the moment.

We hope that these developments keep your taste buds stimulated and your interest in Downstairs undiminished.

Downstairs @ The Vortex prides itself on offering the neighbourhood’s highest quality menu at low, affordable prices
