This is my second visit to the Aviary, and I wasn't disappointed. The service and food were excellent, just as I remembered them. I love the natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows, so even on a cold and grey day it's lovely and bright.

The “Cuban sandwich” on the weekend brunch menu was wonderful, so many interesting tastes. The toasted bread that held the sandwich together was perfect.

Michelin-trained Chef Aidan Brooks, creator of 'Eleven98', invites you to experience his Chef's Table concept: an innovative and sustainable fine-dining tasting menu served in the gorgeous dining room at his secret Hackney location.Eleven98's social dining at The Chef's Table begins with a quirky welcome cocktail on arrival, allowing folks time to gather and mingle. Then everyone will take a pew, sit back and delve into a sequence of 9 carefully curated tasting courses, based entirely on Hackney-sourced produce. Hackney, because that's the borough in which chef Aidan Brooks was born and bred. All of the fruit and veg on his menus has to have been cultivated or foraged in the borough, and everything else has to be Hackney-produced or sourced.Aidan's interactive style of service means he's on hand to offer insightful details behind each dish. This makes the whole experience way more than just a meal. Have a look at the sample menu below.

Excellent food in a lovely, calm, but interesting space. Quiet enough for a good conversation with older people, but with a little background music for ambience. I loved the curved booths and the view of St Pancras. A hidden gem!

    An exceptional experience at Teal — five stars all around! We had a table for two last night, and everything about the experience was outstanding. The food was absolutely exceptional, the service was warm and personal, and the atmosphere was just incredible. This was my second visit to Teal, and while the first was already fantastic, this time was even better. It’s rare to find somewhere that not only lives up to your first experience but manages to surpass it. A special mention must also go to the music. The playlist was brilliantly curated and added so much to the overall vibe of the restaurant. It’s clear that thought and care go into every detail, creating an experience that feels genuinely special. From the food to the service, the atmosphere and the music, Teal gets everything right. A truly memorable evening and an easy five stars across the board. I can’t wait to come back!
