The Water House Project is a modern British tasting menu experience in Bethnal Green, East London.

Chef Gabriel Waterhouse opened The Water House Project with his wife, Patricia in Bethnal Green in Autumn 2021 aiming to bridge the gap between fine dining elegance and a more relaxed, comfortable atmosphere.

 Here the team serve a seasonally evolving tasting menu which changes every three months.

We rely on local, seasonal ingredients using these when at their best. 
 
We believe in using small amounts of ethically and sustainably reared meat and fish, and partnering with suppliers who share in our values. Our drink pairings are made up of either wines, sourced from small scale producers or a non-alcoholic pairing of teas, tonics and ferments made by our kitchen team.

Seasons Discovery menu - Wednesday 7pm & Saturday 1pm
(£125pp including alcoholic or non alcoholic pairing)

Seasons Signature menu - Thursday - Saturday 7pm
(£155pp including alcoholic or non alcoholic pairing)

    Wonderful evening. Beautiful space, tastefully done. The food and wine were fantastic but it’s the warm and friendly atmosphere the staff create which makes it stands out. It’s a smart restaurant, but with a heart! Thank you!

    This is my second time at The Waterhouse Project and it was excellent. The hospitality, the incredible food, the friendly crew and above all, the setting makes this my new favourite restaurant in London. At an affordable price point for an elaborate menu, plus wine pairing, this is a no-brainer if you are still deciding.

    Zero faults. An incredible dining experience whether solo (as I was) or with others. Welcoming and efficient service, cozy ambiance, and phenomenal food and drink pairings. Every detail thought out to the next level. The value for money is excellent for the Michelin level of service and quality of food this restaurant offers.

    Beautiful food, beautiful people beautiful restaurant. A true culinary experience that is so intentional in its delivery. Each dish is explained by either the waiter or chef themselves, where staff take the time to get to know the diners whilst eating. It felt like we were at a big dinner party in their house and we were their guests for the night. With dinner starting at 7:00pm each course was plated and served to us at exactly the same time allowing us all to experience at the same time. Even choice of cutlery is specific and intentional allowing us the ability to capture taste and texture as the chef intends. This restaurant reminded me of an art expression, with food used rather than paint, where the chef uses food in clever well thought out ways to flex his creative ideas. For this reason the food is slightly on the expensive side, but due to the size of the restaurant and its chill intimate and private feel it makes sense. We dined for just over three hours, never felt rushed like in many other restaurants these days where you just feel like a number, and left happy & content. I would highly recommend. Thanks Gabriel and the Team.
