Dandy

Thank you Dandy for such a lovely evening! The menu is always changing but at the time of our visit it included fresh and creative options alongside perfectly executed classics. Familiar fav's like roast lamb and fried chicken provided all the flavours I’d expect and were elevated with great seasoning and the perfect crunch. Dandy also introduced me to some new dishes like a delicious chorizo base topped with a toasty golden egg yolk that cracked with the same satisfying crunch as a creme brûlée crust- each bite was rich and deeply satisfying. Dessert was an in house prepared sour cheesecake-a tangy, fluffy indulgence I didn’t know I’d been missing. Friendly service and a well executed cocktail menu topped off a great night. Also worth nothing that there was a large variety of gluten free dishes in addition to several dishes that could be easily altered to accommodate gluten sensitivity. One of the guests in our party was Celiac and was thrilled to have so many delicious options.

Expectations were super high as we loved the original Dandy in London Fields ... and it didn’t disappoint. They are still finding their feet, so things weren’t perfect and on a busy Friday evening they seemed to be struggling a little. The food took very long to arrive, we had a wobbly table that couldn’t be fixed, service at times seemed a bit frazzled ... but the food was actually fantastic, the place has a nice vibe and the staff were endlessly friendly and optimistic. A nice wine list too, but rather pricey. You’ll struggle to find a bottle under £40! Overall it has all signs of becoming a fantastic place again.
