Guide: Hackney Counters, Dalston Fire, and London Fields Wine

Hackney restaurants for London Fields lunches, Haggerston wine rooms, tasting counters, Turkish grills, and neighbourhood Italian near the Overground.

  • Cafe CeciliaCafe Cecilia is the London Fields booking for pared-back seasonal cooking, canal-side calm, breakfast, lunch, and a room that feels current without turning the meal into a scene.
  • PlanquePlanque is Haggerston's wine-led restaurant and cellar, good for precise seasonal cooking, serious bottles, and a dinner that feels intimate without being overly formal.
  • BehindBehind is Hackney's intimate tasting-counter for seafood-led cooking, chef interaction, and a special-occasion meal that feels more focused than flashy.
  • Mangal 2Mangal 2 is Dalston's essential Turkish grill, where ocakbasi fire, sharp small plates, and neighbourhood history make it more than another kebab stop.
  • LardoLardo is the Hackney Italian for sourdough pizza, charcuterie, spritzes, and a relaxed room that works for Broadway Market or London Fields evenings.
