By far the best bagels in London, they are open 24 hours and being just down the road from my flat a bit too local. It is run by a man called Mr Sammy, who doesn't muck about with portion size. It is well worth a visit especially for their smoked salmon and cream cheese speciality.
Sager & Wilde is a small wine bar on Hackney Road, close to many other amazing places on Hackney and Columbia Road.
The perfect place for an aperitif or a nightcap.
Rochelle Canteen, established in 2004 by Melanie Arnold and Margot Henderson, is housed in the converted bike shed of the old Rochelle School.
Rochelle Canteen is one of my favourite restaurants in London for breakfast, lunch and/ or dinner.
