Barge East Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Absolutely fantastic! One of the most unique settings that i've been lucky enough to have dinner in. A short walk from the local overground station, situation on the river/canal in Hackney Wick - whole area has a very cool Berlin vibe. Charming and welcoming staff, fabulous food, presented beautifully, the staff happy to explain and go over dishes with you. Thoughtfully sourced and delicious too! We would recommend the Ox Cheek and Market Fish. plus the potato terrine. Interesting cocktail and wine lists as well. We took a walk in their gardens and stopped from drinks after dinner on the deck of the boat."
