Godet (French slang for “a glass”) is the latest addition to Essex Road’s expanding f&b scene, bringing a knowledgeable yet relaxed mix of vinyls, fine wine, craft beer, and exceptional food to the area – it’s a place to unwind and have fun.
Owner Sylvain Bertozzi says that “Following the success of Binch, we’re looking forward to spreading our wings with a larger space that can cater to the neighbourhood and visitors alike – anyone who enjoys listening to vinyls, and great food and drink are welcome; whether popping in on your way home “for a glass” or spending your Friday evening with us – at Godet we aim to offer an intimate yet lively experience.”
Opening Hours: Wednesday to Saturday (with plans to expand to Sunday roasts starting mid-November), Godet caters to music aficionados, food lovers, and drinks enthusiasts alike.
