Casa Fofo

Casa Fofò is a Michelin-starred gem in the heart of Hackney, offering a serene and elegant fine dining experience in East London. Led by chef Adolfo De Cecco, the restaurant delivers a seasonal tasting menu that draws on Eurasian influences and modern European technique. With reclaimed wood furnishings, warm lighting, and a quietly confident open kitchen, the space feels intimate and welcoming—tailor-made for those seeking thoughtful cooking in a relaxed, refined setting. The six-course tasting menu, priced at £73, focuses on British produce treated with finesse—think pollock with bergamot and chanterelle or ex-dairy cow with sourdough miso. A wine pairing is also offered, with a clear focus on low-intervention and natural wines that echo the kitchen’s philosophy. Casa Fofò has been recognised by the Michelin Guide for its creative yet balanced approach to tasting menus, describing it as “unpretentious and generous,” a true neighbourhood restaurant with global flair. Hot Dinners highlights the menu’s thoughtful use of fermented ingredients and seasonal twists, while Square Meal praises the wine list and overall value for a Michelin-level experience. Open for dinner Wednesday through Sunday and lunch at weekends, the restaurant is a neighbourhood favourite for those in the know—ideal for special occasions or simply an elevated Saturday lunch. Sometimes offering seasonal specials and pairings, Casa Fofò blends fine dining precision with Hackney’s natural charm.
