The Prince
"In Stoke Newington, pubs have excellent beer or excellent food - rarely both.
It's 16 rotating lines offer the best of British brewers, such as Beavertown and Tiny Rebel, all backed up by some of the finest pub food we've tasted... Just go there."
Shortlist "A new ruler of the Stokey pub scene."

NOTE: we’re defining Stoke Newington as the area designated by the N16 postcode, stretching from Dalston Kingsland station in the south to Stoke Newington station in the north, and from Kingsland High Street / Stoke Newington High Street in the east to Clissold Park and Green Lanes in the west.
Stoke Newington and the surrounding areas have the highest Turkish population in Europe, and this is reflected in the area’s restaurants.
They’re a mixed bunch but good bets include ocakbasi restaurant 19 Numara Bos Cirrik on Stoke Newington Road, Testi on Stoke Newington High Street, Café Z Bar on Stoke Newington High Street and — not so inappropriately named — The Best Turkish Kebab on Stoke Newington Road.
For top coffee in the area, make a beeline for quirky café The Haberdashery on Stoke Newington High Street, Esters on Kynaston Road, or The Spence Bakery on Church Street where you should also try some of the freshly baked breads, cakes and pastries.
If it’s food you’re after The Best Turkish Kebab on Stoke Newington Road serves until 2am and there are plenty more — very good quality — Turkish restaurants open later if you head in the Green Lanes direction.
l'antica pizzeria da michele to open second restaurant - London On ...
When L’Antica Pizzeria Da Michele opened in Stokey earlier on this year it caused quite a stir and seemed like half of London wanted to queue for the world’s best pizza (and still do!)
We all got excited by the news that they were opening a second site, though the Stokey owners were not as they declined the rumours.
Now it turns out it is true but it looks like it’s not going to be run by the same team, which might explain the confusion.
What we do know it that the new joint is going to be on Baker Street and is expected to follow the same rules with a simple menu of Marinara and Margherita pizzas.
Haunt Stoke Newington Restaurant Review London.
location ambience food drinks
Arriving at exactly 7.30pm on a Friday night, my company and I were shown to our small, yet intimate table in the back section of Haunt.
We were promptly offered both food and drink menus but feeling quite dehydrated (and with a glass of wine on my mind) I didn’t even need to think twice when it came to ordering.
My prawn main ended up coming accompanied with focaccia bread instead of Turkish bread and I can’t say I was disappointed, it was seasoned to perfection.
For a Friday night, there was a nice little buzz about Haunt; it wasn't too busy but by no means was it quiet.
Three-courses and a glass of wine later, Haunt's cool vibe and tasty nosh certainly won a couple of new admirers after this visit.
Lobos, London SE1 – restaurant review | Marina O'Loughlin | Life ...
food drinks
The entrance is a dark maw, unadorned apart from a pegboard sign announcing, “MEAT & TAPAS: the wolf is always evil if you only listen to Red Riding Hood” (vegetarians, you’d do well to give Lobos a wide berth).
And then Jaume, a chap about to become my new best pal, delivers a glass of dry Juan Gil muscat, all peach and pepper and melon, and with it a plate of padrón peppers, greasy, crunchy with salt flakes – “From me, while you’re waiting.”
Lobos’ Ibérico de bellota, from Córdoba by way of Maltby Street’s wonderful Bar Tozino, is, enragingly, even better, the meat dark and perfumed, the fat nutty-sweet, the whole thing like eating celestial essence of sainted porker.
In case you haven’t picked up on it – the name Lobos means “wolf” – meat is the thing here.
Lobos’ are huge, stout, dense; tattooed bouncers to Pizarro’s ballet dancers, rammed not only with ham, but also with smoked bacon and chorizo for good measure.
