La Mela Mediterranean Cuisine in Hackney

About La Mela Mediterranean Cuisine in Hackney

La Mela in Hackney brings East London families a generous slice of Mediterranean warmth, with a sprawling menu that runs from weekend brunch through to evening mezze. Regulars rave about the Turkish eggs and The Forager breakfast, while Volkan and his team — often joined by family members — create an atmosphere that feels more neighbourhood living room than restaurant. There's a kids menu, highchairs, and a covered back garden that parents call a "lovely little gem" for alfresco meals. The salmon lunch dish gets flagged for both flavour and Instagram-worthy presentation, and kids with a sweet tooth gravitate toward the pistachio cannolis. Buggy-friendly access makes it easy for Sunday morning pit-stops. Best for leisurely weekend breakfasts when you've got time to linger over coffee and conversation.
