It was so delicious and also hard to eat because it was over stuffed with filling
-
The bread used was ciabatta and can be very filling
-
Unfortunately I think the person who apparently makes good things happen was off or hungover
-
On arrival I was seated and told I couldn't have the table for long as it was booked which made me feel a little unwelcome
-
Wouldn't have been bothered if it wasn't for the fact they were half empty and they then took ages to serve me
-
My simple starter/croquettes was flat cold in the middle
-
The service was poor and then a woman clearly in her fifty's started breast feeding a child that appeared to be about five years old
-
I have no problems with mothers feeding their baby's it's natural
-
If The Empress (Hackney) really is on the Michelin guide it's an absolute joke
-
The victoria park village neighborhood is quite nice
-
It is what they achieve with a simple salad menu that makes the venue appealing
-
A TimeOut review gives the best description here
-
Seemed much more than the sum of its parts with grilled radicchio
-
As the decorative items are scattered around in an impressive way and the staff are genuinely interested in your pleasure with the meal
-
The Empress (Hackney) first stole my heart a couple of years back when I went to catch up with my friend Harry who was sous chef under Rosette winning Head Chef Elliot
-
Fast forward a couple of years and I couldn't resist popping in to celebrate turning 25 in with six of my pals
-
The Empress' menu is perfect for those who like to try a bit of everything
-
They offer generous helpings of bar snacks as well as usual starters and mains and there's nothing wrong with jumping around a bit
-
Whilst we were deciding we ordered a couple of baskets of freshly baked bread from the E5 bakehouse that we then proceeded to smother with unsalted butter
-
Presented prettily with pea shoots and other microherbs
-
I went for a perennial old favourite of whole baked camembert with homemade chutney and thin slices of sourdough toast
-
It was a typically countrified affair presented on a beautiful wooden board with the crisp slivers for dunking
-
Gooey and oozing I definitely polished off the entire lot but had to ask for another round of toast that only came just as I was scooping out the last of the cheese with a fork
-
The food in The Empress is definitely something to write home about (told you those pigs ears were good) but the service let it down this time
-
Until recently I lived on Victoria Park and so I was within easy walking distance
-
They make the best espresso martinis in town
-
The ingredients are always fresh and seasonal
-
Every time I go back there is something new and interesting on the menu
-
The bar snacks are worth a mention too
-
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 you&rsquo
-
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 it&rsquo
-
On my most recent visit we started with the cured salmon
-
We paired the meal with a couple of cocktails and a great bottle of red and stayed until we were pretty much kicked out
-
The Empress (Hackney) is so cosy in the evenings
-
The food here is creative and delicious and refreshingly
-
What a lovely pub in Victoria park village visited on a Wednesday evening and it was busy but not packed
-
We all had steak which came with thick cut chips and rocket it was extremely tasty
-
As a result we were most definitely food poisoned
-
Unfortunate because it was the night before Christmas
