Such a lovely place, however the food had given myself and several of my family members who I had treated to a meal, a very poor stomach for a few days. The steak had been requested to be medium cooked, yet came extremely rare at some parts. As a result we were most definitely food poisoned; unfortunate because it was the night before Christmas, so felt unwell for the holiday.
What a lovely pub in Victoria park village – visited on a Wednesday evening and it was busy but not packed. Had a cosy feel to it and the staff were nice. The menu changes daily and they keep it to around 5/6 dishes but the quality is great. We all had steak which came with thick cut chips and rocket – it was extremely tasty. Other dishes included hake, lemon sole and Guinea fowl. There are special deals on Mondays and Tuesday’s so look out for them!
I cant remember the number of times I have been to The Empress. I love the place. Until recently I lived on Victoria Park and so I was within easy walking distance. Amazing and dangerous all at once. I cant rave about this place enough this is one of my all-time favourite places to eat in London. It serves delicious food in a great setting. I basically wish I could style my whole flat on this place! I love to sit outside and people watch on a long summers day and then be all cosy sat at the bar during the winter. Oh, and they make the best espresso martinis in town, fact.The menu is made up of bar snacks, small plates and mains and desserts. The ingredients are always fresh and seasonal, which I love. Every time I go back there is something new and interesting on the menu.The bar snacks are worth a mention too. I always order the whitebait and paprika aioli. The portion sizes are fantastic and the fish is not oily and over-fried like you get in many places, the croquettes are always good too and perfect to accompany a glass of wine if youre just popping in. As I mentioned their menu is ever-changing but their steak is always very good and whatever the fish option is it will be cooked to perfection and delicious and light. I like the way the menu is arranged as its so easy to mix and match.On my most recent visit we started with the cured salmon, beetroot and horseradish and the raw beef, sesame, lime and chilli. I hadn’t tried the beef before – it was amazing! Then we both ordered the braised shoulder of lamb, pearl barley, celeriac and girolles. This was a great choice; the creamy celeriac went so well with the lamb. We paired the meal with a couple of cocktails and a great bottle of red and stayed until we were pretty much kicked out. This place is so cosy in the evenings!Ive gushed about this place enough, but just one last time, the food here is creative and delicious and refreshingly, its not extortionately priced. If you are in the area definitely make a visit! dalton-banks.co.uk
Good breakfast spot. Nice light space for breakfast after a walk in Vicky Park. Really good pancakes with maple syrups. Allows dogs inside!
Oh Yeah, grilled Bream on a bed of potatoe pure, squash and greens. Spiced pear with home made vanilla icecream. Yes, please!! I will be back. Yummy
Lazy sunday afternoons. This is a great place to grab beer after a stroll through Victoria Park with the paper on the weekend. It’s bright and breezy and they do a really lovely roast too. Well worth a visit.
