Yauatcha City – Dim sum fans will love this slick City newcomer, which is open all day serving delicious dumplings, flawless Peking duck, and modern Chinese dishes like truffled pork belly rib.
Chick n’ Sours – Out in Dalston this weekend? Head to Kingsland Road for sour cocktails, local beers and next level fried chicken. We love the fiery Korean chicken bun and sticky disco wings.
