Barge East

Barge East is a unique floating restaurant aboard a 125-year-old Dutch barge moored on the River Lee in Hackney Wick, offering Modern European cuisine with stunning views of the London skyline. The restaurant has earned 2 AA Rosettes for Culinary Excellence in both 2023 and 2024, won Taste of London 2022, and was ranked London's #1 restaurant on TripAdvisor in 2019 and 2020. The award-winning kitchen crafts sensational seasonal menus using the finest produce and handpicked ingredients grown in the restaurant's own riverside gardens.

Guests can choose between intimate dining in the beautifully restored barge interior with its rustic wooden beams and candlelit atmosphere, or relaxed alfresco dining in one of London's largest outdoor riverside spaces. The expansive gardens feature sustainable produce gardens where much of the menu's fresh ingredients are grown, creating a true farm-to-table experience. The venue is particularly popular for weekend brunch, Sunday roasts, and special events including their renowned Burns Night celebrations.

Dogs are warmly welcomed throughout Barge East, both inside the cosy barge and in the spacious riverside gardens, making it an ideal choice for dog owners seeking exceptional food in a truly distinctive waterside setting. The restaurant's combination of serious culinary ambition, sustainable growing practices, and relaxed canal-side atmosphere has made it a beloved destination for locals and visitors exploring East London's creative Hackney Wick neighbourhood.
