1 Crossrail Place, London E14 5AR

This popular Copenhagen chain serves up a large menu of sushi and yakitori. The Danish influence shines through the inventive takes on Japanese cuisine with plenty of fresh produce on offer.

chaiki

Canary Wharf Shopping Centre, Crossrail Place, London E14 5AR

boisdale

Cabot Square, London E14 4QT

Boisdale is a celebration of Scottish produce and whisky - there's a whopping 1000 bottles on offer here - along with a big Cuban cigar terrace. You'll also find an art-deco-style Oyster Bar and Grill and there's a big focus on music, particularly blues and jazz.

mambownasi

78 Lower Clapton Road, Lower Clapton, London E5 0RN

After building up a devoted following at Peckham's Market, Abby Lee has moved her Malaysian restaurant to a permanent space in East London. As before, it's all about Modern malaysian food but with a bigger menu. If they're on, the Lor Bak (five-spice pork and prawn bean curd roll) is a must. 

singburioutside

593 High Rd Leytonstone, London E11 4PA

This small, family-run Thai spot in Leytonstone has become one of the city's best restaurants. From its regularly changing specials board and friendly, chaotic service to its legendarily good moo krob, people really love Singburi. It's genuinely worth crossing to the furthest regions of North East London from wherever you live.

myneighbours

165 Lower Clapton Rd, Lower Clapton, London E5 8EQ

This is a family-run Chinese dumpling house and sake bar that started as a pop-up and has become hugely popular in Clapton (it also has a sister site in Victoria Park). The specialities are their hand-rolled dumplings made fresh every day. Alongside those dumplings, there's a big range of sake from small family-run Japanese breweries.

snackbar

20 Dalston Lane, London E8 3AZ

Freddie Janssen's Dalston cafe has become a big hit in East London. Here you can expect an globally-influenced menu with popular dishes like their kimcheese croissant or the Snackmuffin (their own take on another certain breakfast muffin). Mainly open during weekdays keep an eye out for special dinner services too.

bakest

58 Evering Rd, Lower Clapton, London N16 7SR

Bake Street has achieved almost legendary status, primarily for its weekend brunch menu. That's when they put their Nashville fried chicken sandwich on the menu which has become one of London's cult dishes (along with their creme brulee cookies). To those add lamb birria tacos and more. Good luck in grabbing a table (there are no reservations and they only have outside seating).

towpath

42 De Beauvoir Cres, London N1 5SB

This little cafe down on the canal in Hackney is one of London's best waterside spots. Run by Laura Jackson and Lori de Mori the food is always seasonal and delicious and, because there's no booking, landing a table here feels very much like winning in life.

climpsons

374 Helmsley Pl, London E8 3SB

This is the second space for Tomos Parry's hit restaurant Brat, taking over the (covered) courtyard of the Climpson's Arch roastery. Expect a similar menu to the Shoreditch original - plenty of Galician steaks, grilled fish and lots of Basque influence throughout.

waterhouse

1 Corbridge Cres, London E2 9DS

Gabriel Waterhouse's Water House Project started as a supper club before becoming a pop-up restaurant and then finding this permanent location. Sticking to the supperclub roots, there's a monthly-changing tasting menu, with a bit of Nordic influence throughout.

facingheaven

1a Bayford Street London E8 3SE

Facing Heaven is Julian Denis' sequel to Mao Chow, moving just around the corner from the previous restaurant. The vegan menu takes influences from Cantonese, Yunnan and Shaanxi cuisines as well as adding in a few Puerto-Rican, American and Portuguese flavours into the mix. They have hot pots at the weekend too.

acme

Abbot Street Car Park, London, E8 3DP

Acme Food Cult is a team up between chefs Andrew Clarke and Daniel Watkins and, as the name suggests, it's all about cooking over fire on an impressive grill. You'll find it right next to 40FT Brewery, so expect plenty of beer in the cooking.

supaya

499 Kingsland Road, London E8 4AU

Luke Findlay had been running Supa Ya Ramen as a supperclub, but this is his first permanent restaurant. As with their pop-ups, you can expect what they call "traditionally inauthentic" ramen and this restaurant added lots of extras to the menu like roast chicken skin and noodle ice cream with miso caramel for dessert.

inside

Canal Place, 32 Andrews Rd, London E8 4RL

This is Max Rocha's solo restaurant by the canal in Hackney. The chef came from The River Cafe and like many of London's best chefs has also spent time at St John Bread & Wine. It's just breakfast and lunch right now, but dishes like rabbit tagliatelle and sage & anchovy fritti (not to mention Guinness bread ice cream) should make this a very worthwhile trip to the canal.

songque

134 Kingsland Rd, London E2 8DY

Song Que is an excellent Vietnamese restaurant on Kingsland Road's strong Vietnamese food scene. Expect authentic cuisine with excellent pho and banh mi, which underlines its longstanding great reputation. If you're looking for the best Vietnamese food in London, this should be on your list.

nest

177-179 Morning Ln, London E9 6LH

Nest comes from the same team behind West London's Fenn and offers a set, regularly changing menu of small plates with a strong focus on provenance and local, British suppliers. Sustainability is also a big thing here and the wine list concentrates on low/no intervention.

pophamshackney

197 Richmond Rd, London E8 3NJ

While the original Pophams is mainly a bakery and cafe, this, their second, also functions as a restaurant. So while you can still buy their bread and pastries here, there's the added draw of the pasta restaurant, with all the pasta made fresh in-house. It should go without saying that the desserts are pretty great as well.

littleduck

68 Dalston Ln, London E8 3AH

All-day Hackney restaurant Little Duck - The Picklery comes from the same people behind Rawduck and Ducksoup. It's part shop and cafe and they're proud of their fermented food and drink (as the name gives away). On the menu, expect small plates that see those pickles put into action, with a focus on sharing.

hillszrok2

60 Broadway Market, London E8 4QJ

Hill and Szrok are one of the most respected butchers in Hackney, on bustling Broadway market. But in the evening, when the meat is all put away, the place transforms into a neighbourhood restaurant with a menu dictated by the produce available. As you can imagine, their meat, sourced from smaller independent farmers, is front and centre.

campania

23 Ezra St, London E2 7RH

Campania & Jones serves up Southern Italian food in Hackney, with pasta made fresh daily in its beautiful rustic-looking restaurant. The food is authentic Italian, the portions are generous and it's one of the most popular restaurant near Columbia Road. There's a daily changing menu, so you can always find something new to try.

silo

Unit 7, The white building, 1st Floor,c/o CRATE Bar, Queen's Yard, London E9 5EN

This East London restaurant from Douglas McMaster is at the forefront of no-waste cooking (and restaurants) in London. McMaster has been involved in the no-waste initiative from the early days and has created a restaurant that both embraces the movement fully and showcases the excellent food that a no waste ethos can produce.

pfranco

107 Lower Clapton Rd, Lower Clapton, London E5 0NP

Some of London’s hottest and most creative chefs have spent time doing residencies at this Clapton wine bar. How they manage to turn out some inventive food from the tiniest of kitchen spaces is a longstanding miracle. Follow their Instagram account to keep dibs on who’s currently on induction hob duty.

casafofo

158 Sandringham Rd, Clapton, London E8 2HS

Casa Fofo saw ex-Pidgin chef Adolfo De Cecco opening his own place in Clapton, carrying on the same approach of a single tasting menu that makes the most of seasonal and local ingredients.

behind

20 Sidworth Street, London E8 3SD

Andy Beynon's London Fields restaurant is all about opening up the kitchen experience. That starts with a huge counter that you gather around for a truly unique tasting menu experience (with a focus on seafood).

dukerichmond

316 Queensbridge Road, Hackney, London E8 3NH

This is Tom Oldroyd's Hackney pub and dining room, serving up a European menu using British produce. The Cornish crab chip butty is a must, as is the Duke burger but it's generally worth trying as much of the menu as you can. They are also giving back by acting as a soup kitchen for the local area.

Cornerstone

3 Prince Edward Road, London E9 5LX

This is Tom Brown's Hackney Michelin-starred restaurant where the menu is centred around seafood. The menu changes regularly based on day catches, but make sure you have whatever they're serving on a crumpet, as that will be unmissable.

Morito Hackney Road

195 Hackney Road, London E2 8JL

This is the East London expansion from the same people behind Moro (and the original Clerkenwell Morito). The restaurant draws influence from Southern Spain, North Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean in a regularly changing small plates menu. The same approach can be seen in the wine list, which also roams the Med.

Pidgin

52 Wilton Way , London E8 1BG

Setting up shop in a Hackney backstreet, Pidgin saw supperclub host James Ramsden team up with Sam Herlihy to create the kind of place that won plaudits from critics and locals alike. Pidgin has a weekly changing set menu that is about as seasonal as it gets. A perfect neighbourhood restaurant, in that you could come back week after week and never have the same dish twice, it's also worth crossing town for too. 

The Marksman

254 Hackney Road, London, E2 7SJ

This is a revamped pub from two St John veterans, Tom Harris and Jon Rotheram is both one of Hackney's best pub and best restaurants. Downstairs in the pub, make sure to get one of their excellent beef and barley buns, while upstairs its an actual crime to leave without trying their brown butter & honey tart, one of London's best desserts. Their Sunday roasts are exceptional too.
