New rooftop restaurant in east London 🌃 @solayalondon has now opened on the 25th floor of @artotellondonhoxton in Shoreditch. Their menu offers modern French Mediterranean dishes. We ordered: Steak tartare £16 Blue fin tuna carpaccio £16 Cote de boeuf £96 Pomme frites £6 BBQ stem broccoli £7 Apple tarte fine £10 Such a stunning restaurant with beautiful views of London, & their dishes were amazing. Also loved their terrace where you can enjoy some of their amazing cocktails, & they also have a Golden Hour with a £10 cocktail selection every Tuesday to Saturday, 4 – 8pm. #europeonbudget

KIP HOTEL(Hackney) - affordable, great locations and amenities and friendly staff and great black amd white theme. Near to multiple transport links.

My fave brunch spot in Hackney @beansandbiteshackney have launched some new menu items and they’re all incredible! The new items include: Pistachio kunafa waffle £16 Pistachio kunafa pancakes £16 Pistachio kunafa French toast £16 Chicken Benedict £13 Waffle and chicken wings £15 Lovedd the kunafa flavour, the pistachio sauce is rich and the kunafa gave a lovely crunch to the dishes. They get very busy on weekends and don’t accept bookings, walk-ins only, so I’d recommend visiting during the week or early mornings 🙌

New Mexican spot in Hackney 🌮 @corrochios have now opened a new location in Hackney with beautiful rustic interiors and serving authentic Mexican dishes. We ordered: Birria tacos £13 Chilorio tacos £14 Burrito de moyahua £13 Quesadilla de chorizo £13 Salsa borracha £5 A great varied menu from bar snacks to hefty sharing dishes, everything was bursting with flavour including the cocktails! Loved the cantarito and the ‘espresso martini de la olla’ which tasted like Christmas in a cup. Definitely recommend🙌 ad#summerdestinations #cherryblossom2024
