One of the most beloved and frequented places in Hackney is the iconic Royal Inn on the Park. Besides Victoria Park is this restaurant & bar with splendid cocktails to enjoy in their beer garden: from Bloody Mary to their fizzy spritzes, ice cold ciders and Prosecco for special toasts. If hungry, you’ve hit the jackpot as this gem also serves classics: from fish and chips and Sunday roast to juicy beef burgers and slow-roasted pork with apple sauce. The Royal Inn is the perfect spot to sip and chat after or before waltzing around the park. 

This trendy neighbourhood bistro is tucked away in a converted warehouse - the quintessential East London dining experience. At the weekend, a pianist plays throughout service, making for a fun, lively atmosphere.

Elliot’s is a wine bar and Modern European restaurant that plays with seasonal wood-fired cooking and produce from independent suppliers from the city's outskirts. This place encourages its visitors to pair their meals with their selection of natural wines and have a simple yet exquisite dinner.
