"Does eating food while bobbing about on water float your boat? You're not alone. An east London restaurant has just been named the ninth best in the world for 'one of a kind' dining experiences in the annual TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice Awards. Barge East, which is based on a 125-year-old Dutch barge on River Lee Navigation in Hackney Wick, was also named the best in the UK in the newly created 'one of a kind' category in the awards."
"The floating restaurant has been awarded 2 AA Rosettes for Culinary Excellence for the past three years, and prides itself on sustainability, with a hyper-local riverside kitchen garden. Speaking about the TripAdvisor nods, Head Chef Kayla Dimmick commented: 'To now be awarded and recognised by TripAdvisor's global audience shows how far we've come in putting sustainable, creative British dining on the map. We're so grateful to everyone who's dined with us and shared their experiences. We're making waves and can't wait to welcome more customers aboard.'"
Barge East opened in 2018 and is permanently moored by London Stadium on the River Lee Navigation in Hackney Wick. The venue occupies a 125-year-old Dutch barge and has earned 2 AA Rosettes for Culinary Excellence for three consecutive years. The restaurant emphasizes sustainability and operates a hyper-local riverside kitchen garden. TripAdvisor named the venue ninth globally and the top UK entry in its new 'one of a kind' dining category. The menu includes gilthead bream crudo, pea and broad bean tartlets with smoked cods roe, harissa barbecued hispi cabbage, and Sunday roasts. Opening hours include Thursdays and Fridays from 4pm and weekends from midday.
