Hackney Coterie

After trying several restaurants/pubs nearby that were full, we found Hackney Coterie, which was less than half full. Not knowing what the food would be, we were pleasantly surprised when told it was kind of tapas. We had one starter, one main and one side between two of us, which was enough. The beetroot and goats cheese starter was incredibly tasty but the huge whole sea bass with hummus and tabbouleh was amazing! We asked for the grains separately because I couldn’t eat them and they came in a bowl. The BBQd fish was really delicious as were the side of roasted potatoes with almonds and pesto. So many flavours but they all worked together. Such a brilliant meal, when we were expecting to grab a burger or something. Could not recommend the food more. The decor was good and the staff attentive and friendly but not overly. The atmosphere was a little quiet, which was unfortunate because it was a lovely place. Hopefully more people find this gem and experience the magical food. Pricing very reasonable for 3 dishes between us. Thank you!

I booked Hackney Coterie for a large birthday party and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. From initial booking to menu planning, no stone was left unturned. When it came to the actual event, the food (so much food) and service were impeccable. Huge thanks to Louisa and the entire HC team for making the day so special.

The restaurant is very nice & warm, with friendly staff, very attentive. The wine selection was good, with lovely reds available. The general food was very fresh with interesting tastes like fennel in bread which was amazing and very fresh trout. However our only comment was the desert was inedible, so sweet you couldn't taste anything else, which is sad because it was the last moment of the meal. Overall, the place is lovely and the savoury is fresh with great tastes, but would not recommend the desert
