Allegra

Upmarket restaurant Allegra is in Stratford. As well as the indoor area, the restaurant boasts one of the largest terraces and roof gardens in East London, making it ideal for an al fresco meal. Ranked as one of the top 50 restaurants in the UK, this is a sought-after destination for any occasion.

The restaurant's look is contemporary and sleek, with natural tones, stone tiles on the floor, and leafy plants. Large windows let lots of light in. As well as the main bar and dining area, the restaurant has a sophisticated semi-private space for groups of up to 12. Hire of the entire venue is also possible, with bespoke menus on offer for bigger groups and events.

Allegra serves inventive and contemporary European cuisine, driven by seasonality, simplicity, and great flavour. Choose from set lunch, tasting, and à la carte menus that include inspiring dishes such as roasted scallop, hand-cut pasta with lobster, or fried gnocchi. Dishes on the menu change frequently. A lighter menu with options like a fried chicken sandwich or blood pudding muffins is available at the bar and terrace, offering bites that are an ideal pairing for drinks. 

The bar specialises in seasonal signature cocktails but also offers local beers and ciders. The distinguished wine list is concise but includes bottles from several regions, plus a selection of wines served by the glass. Whether it's a quick drink or snack, a lengthy and luxurious meal, or a big occasion, Allegra is a must for fine dining in Stratford.
