Elliot's - Hackney
££££•British•4.7(20)Elliot's is a restaurant and bar located near London Fields in Hackney. We focus on seasonal wood fired cooking, working closely with similarly minded independent producers, growers and makers around the UK and Europe. We take great pride in sourcing the best ingredients and this extends to our cocktail and wine lists, which feature seasonal specials and low intervention/natural wines. Our first location opened in Borough Market in 2011, taking inspiration from the market neighbourhood.The Marquee Moon
££££•Southeast Asian•4.5(67)The Marquee Moon - a new restaurant, cocktail & HiFi bar from the team behind The Cause & All My Friends.
Set over 2 floors, expect an eclectic sharing menu based on a twist of contemporary pub classics - with an emphasis on East Asian flavours, complemented by a refined and inventive cocktail offering.
Later in the evening, focus will turn to the hi fi sound system manned by an array of selectors, programmed by The Cause, playing esoteric selections through ‘til 3am!
The Good Front Room
££££•Caribbean•4.2(97)The menu at The Good Front Room is celebratory and innovative, inspired by Caribbean ingredients and
well-loved recipes, all created with Chef Dom Taylor's contemporary fresh twist. Packed with flavour, spice, heat and exuberance, the menu has been designed to be explored and shared.
Guests will be able to pick from small plates like Dom’s famous Rum & Raisin Pork Belly as well as innovative
takes on Jamaican favourites like Ackee + Saltfish Cake and Escovitch Wild Hake. Larger dishes like Short
Rib Brown Stew, Coal Roasted Seabream and a Seafood Boil are ideal to share with friends, family
and lovers.Dalston Jazz Bar
££££•Seafood•4.4(213)“A stones throw away from Dalston Kingsland Station you will find The Dalston Jazz Bar. It’s a full on restaurant up until 10 PM. They serve an array of fresh seafood as well as yummy beer from a local brewery and cocktails. The live band plays throughout the night with a few breaks. On Fridays and Saturdays, after 10 PM, they clear all tables and chairs to create a dance floor and this place then really starts to rock! We don't do vegan or vegetarian food. We specialise in fish.
Please note: We do not have vegetarian food.
