Where old meets new, RE:1996 brings together the best of contemporary dining and Levantine flavours with a distinctly London twist.

Born in 1996, this much-loved family-run gem has truly stood the test of time. At the heart of it all is the freshly baked “PUFF” bread. Whether it’s za’atar, anise, or something else entirely, each one lands in the middle of the table, ready to spark conversation, connection, and maybe even a bit of playful competition over the last piece.

RE:1996 is all about simplicity done brilliantly. It’s top-quality ingredients, prepared with care, and served with zero fuss. The kitchen is powered by a global team of passionate people, all bringing their own flavours to a shared London identity. The result? Food that feels personal, heartfelt, and genuinely delicious.

Step inside and soak up the atmosphere. The soft glow of hanging lights, plates bursting with colour and spice, and an energy that feels both lively and inviting. It’s warm, it’s joyful, and it’s made for indulging.

With a menu shaped by culinary creatives and mixologists alike, there’s something special in every bite and every sip. Whether you're catching up with friends, celebrating love, or simply hungry for something different, RE:1996 is all about good food and good company.
