Old Spitalfields Market
Air Canada will be hosting a Poutinerie pop-up, showcasing destination-twists on the classic Canadian dish. Held at Old Spitalfields Market, the gourmet Poutine menu has gone global. Normally the Canadian favourite combines crispy chips topped wit cheese curd and gravy. But new versions will include variations of the dish based on its global flight routes including Hawaiian Loco Moco Poutine Poke made up of fries, seared salmon, boiled egg, scallion, crispy pineapple and sesame ginger miso mayo, alongside Cancun’s Mayan Enchilada made up of sweet potato fries, corn chips, red enchilada sauce and avocado cilantro dressing.

M Threadneedle Street
When’s a beach not a beach? Probably when it’s in a restaurant in The City. M Restaurant on Threadneedle Street are mourning the end of summer by recreating it there in the restaurant with a full-on beach. Think sand, splash pool, volleyball, the lot. The event is sponsored by Veuve Cliquot, which means the champagne will be flowing from the beach bar and, as you’d expect from a restaurant like M Restaurants there’s a whole range of foodie snacks on offer, including grilled scallops with chimichurri, burrata brioche toast and crispy whitebait.
