The restaurant at Bevis Marks is moving from the historic East End of London synagogue and reopening on Monday in new premises a few minutes away.

"It is going to be the most glamorous kosher restaurant in London," claimed Kenny Arfin, owner of Bevis Marks the Restaurant, as it will continue to be known.

"The reason we are going is that we wanted larger premises. The new restaurant can seat up to 90 people, compared to 60 before. We will also have private dining for up to 30."

The restaurant opened at Bevis Marks in 2003, the first kosher establishment in the East End after the closure of Bloom's Whitechapel some years before. It is noted for its sophisticated twists on classic Jewish dishes such as Oriental-style shredded salt beef.
