Gazi and family have run Mosaic on Upper Clapton Road for 18 years, having lived in Clapton for 35. Local artists' work lines the walls, some of it for sale, and a Mediterranean and British menu pairs with Allpress coffee.
A rack of wine glasses hangs from an overhead pipe frame above the bar, lit by a pink neon sign. A rounded bar clad in wood slats runs down the centre of the room, with an old fireplace at the back.
