I did not even know about this eatery until this year; I
had been making a conscious effort to avoid places that attract (pretentious
and “genuine”) hipsters, but being in East London, it is getting harder and
harder each week! I would have dismissed Rita’s were it not for a friend
recommending it for a post run brunch…..
Rita’s originally started as a pop up restaurant in 2012
Dalston (heh – where else), residing at Birthdays and eventually found a
permanent home at the quieter stretch of Mare Street. To note, despite its
name, I don’t believe that there’s anyone by the name of Rita who works there
or owns it……
