Allegra

"To treat yourself Allegra looks like the kind of restaurant where Bond would drink martinis after getting false intel that Goldfinger was seen hiding out in Westfield Stratford. On the seventh floor of upmarket hotel The Stratford, this restaurant, bar, and sky terrace is one part warmth, two parts flashy with a menu full of things like beetroot tartare, Scottish lobster, smoked aubergine agnolotti, and fig leaf ice cream. It’s a big space that’s perfect for a sophisticated meal or an outdoor date over green chilli and citrus gin cocktails in the summer." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing

"Allegra is a flashy rooftop restaurant on the 7th floor of The Stratford Hotel. One part warm and two parts classy, this sky terrace is from the people behind Chiltern Firehouse. It’s perfect for a special occasion or business situation over fried oysters with ginger and nori. It’ll also work for a high-end golden hour date night involving Oklahoma-style burgers and expert cocktails. " - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Oliver, Rianne Shlebak, Sinead Cranna, Daisy Meager

"We see your sad cheesy fries and we raise you a pistachio choux, blood pudding muffins, and pollack ceviche. In case your overdraft senses are tingling, yes, the dishes at Allegra are expensive but they really do ace that whole refined modern European thing. Everything from the chairs to the tall decorative trees look straight out of an aspirational holiday campaign and the views across Stratford definitely don’t hurt either. " - Jake Oliver, Heidi Lauth Beasley, Sinead Cranna

"The view from the lofty heights of The Stratford is pretty well unbeatable ⁠— and Allegra’s special New Year’s Eve menus set the bar high too. Two are on offer, for early diners and long-haulers, coming in at £95 and £145 per person respectively." - James Hansen
