I caught a tube and then the overland train to Haggerston, deep in London's eastern borough of Hackney. Instantly I liked it. Loads of new builds, converted warehouses and best of all, Regent's Canal.
The Waterline is right on the towpath of the canal and the waterside setting makes an delightful change of scenery from my usual dining scene.
My roast duck with a side salad of chicory leaves, walnuts, apple & blue cheese was excellent. The salad was a surprisingly good accompaniment. Becky and I shared the chocolate mousse with black olive caramel which was nice but only had a small drizzle of caramel so didn't add much flavour to the mousse.
I loved the atmosphere though. Good service and very reasonable prices too. And they have a cinema on Tuesday and gigs on Wednesdays. I'll be back to check those out for sure.
