Buen Ayre - (Near Hackney, South East)

Kharyn Campbell I was craving tacos. They were so good. Melinda was our server. She was so friendly and helped us pick out the food. I would recommend to anyone. The Birria combo was everything. And my smoked pineapple margarita was good too.

Wenjia Tang The food is AMAZING and comes in huge portions. Every dish we’ve tried is full of flavours. The staff are lovely too! Will definitely come back ❤️

Q J. We visited this restaurant twice, and each experience was delightful. Our first visit was on a quiet Sunday in April. Although the weather was a bit chilly, it was still manageable for an outdoor meal. We easily found a seat and were impressed by the excellent service. We ordered Sunday roast. The roast was recommended — the meat was tender and juicy, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Although we encountered a minor issue, it was promptly resolved. Our second visit was during Euro 2024 on a lively Saturday afternoon. The atmosphere was completely different: the place was packed with people watching football and enjoying pints of beer. If youre unsure what to order, I highly recommend the chef’s BBQ platter. It includes pork belly, beef short ribs, chicken, and sausage, accompanied by coleslaw and Cajun fries. This combination is perfect for a barbecue meal, especially when paired with their fresh, self-brewed beers. The portion of the platter is advertised for 2-3 people, but it might be small for those with larger appetites. For us—two women and a child—it was just right, and we were thoroughly satisfied with the flavors and textures of the meats. The beef short ribs were particularly amazing. If you havent visited this restaurant yet this summer, its definitely worth checking out!

T G this is probably one of the best meals I’ve had in London so far. The vibe just felt right, good music in the background, but not so loud that you’re shouting across the table. You can actually relax and talk. The artichoke orzo and the picanha meat were the standout for me, I’d go back just for those. I’m usually a bit sceptical about small plates because sometimes you end up paying a lot for very little, but that wasn’t the case here. The portions were generous enough and the pricing felt fair. The staff were genuinely warm and welcoming, and the whole place is beautifully done: cosy, elegant, and thoughtful without feeling try-hard. It’s the kind of spot you leave already planning to return to.

Barnoluk Easily the best burgers I have ever had. Got the super royal burger and it’s not even close to anything else. Absolutely unreal

Mark Monaghan Some dishes were very nice (mainly the bread and leek starters). However, some others, mainly the Denver steak main, were quite disappointing, especially when considering this costs just shy of £50. The dish took about an hour to arrive and was cold when it did (I assume it had been left out and perhaps a waiter had forgotten to take it to us). The waiter did offer to reheat it but this left it quite chewy. Overall it was not enjoyable and certainly did not meet the standard expected for the price. The service was also very slow throughout the remainder of the night and after ordering a single rice pudding dessert to share, this also took an additional 30 minutes to arrive. We spent another 15 minutes waiting for the waiter to bring the card machine after receiving the bill meaning in total we spent about 3 hours in the restaurant which was much longer than we had intended. I appreciate it was New Year’s Eve and so perhaps it was busier than the staff were used to, but again, this falls short of the standard one would expect for a restaurant where we paid around £90 per person on food alone. The atmosphere was pleasant but given the above I would not return nor could I in good conscience recommend it to a friend.
