Best Lunch Restaurants in Dalston

Review: Exceptional Dining Experience at Bacchanalia From the moment we arrived at Bacchanalia, we were met with exceptional hospitality. Despite a queue at the entrance, the attentive staff promptly acknowledged our arrival and ensured we were seated within five minutes. As soon as we settled in, we were offered a choice between still or sparkling water, setting the tone for the level of attentiveness throughout the evening. Anna took the time to walk us through the menu, providing clear explanations that helped us navigate the options with ease. Nikos, who took our order, was an absolute standout. His attentiveness and thoughtful recommendations made our dining experience even more enjoyable. He ensured that each course, from starters to dessert, was delivered seamlessly, checking in regularly to make sure we were well taken care of and fully satisfied. The service at Bacchanalia truly elevated our meal, making for a memorable and enjoyable evening. The combination of warm hospitality, knowledgeable staff, and impeccable service makes it a dining experience worth returning to.

A very nice experience and first time dining at Blacklock. The service was very friendly and prompt. The food quality was also excellent and the steak delicious. I believe larger steaks would have been better and the odd (non matching) plates on our table was an unusual novelty. I would go again to Blacklock, however, note that the meals sizes arent large (unless sharing) and the Soho restaurant was also very noisy.

We visited the restaurant for my husband's birthday. The staff was nice and the food was nice too with fresh ingredients and unique flavours. The restaurant was cozy.

A truly five star experience! Staff were flawless, the afternoon tea was a delight; the sandwiches and pastries were very good. We didn’t realise one could ask for more sandwiches, otherwise we would have attended with more of an appetite! Coffee (decaf available) was offered as an alternative to tea which was appreciated.

Chichi served us and she is very professional and friendly however the good portions are so small compared to the prices. We thought it was a rip off but the atmosphere was lovely and we liked the venue. We might visit again.
