"It’s easier to forgo decisions when you wouldn’t have a clue if you were given the choice anyway. That’s the beauty of Casa Fofò, a low-key tasting menu restaurant in Hackney with creative food that draws on global influences. You’ll be served eight courses of things like almond ravioli in chuggable mystery broth #1, or a bowl of plain-looking pasta that tastes like the very essence of oyster. We’d recommend bringing a date, as this is one of E8’s most intimate and unique restaurants." - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
