Description
Tucked away along the Regent’s Canal in Hackney Wick, Café Cecilia is a warm, effortlessly cool neighbourhood restaurant that’s become one of London’s most coveted tables. It’s bright and unfussy, with an intimate dining room that feels more like a friend’s dining space than a scene‑chasing hotspot - though the buzz in the room suggests it very much is one. Relaxed, quietly confident and beautifully executed, it’s the kind of place that makes a long lunch stretch happily into dinner.
The restaurant is owned and run by chef Max Rocha, whose cooking leans towards modern European cuisine with Italian influences, shaped by seasonality and exceptional produce. Menus change daily, showcasing thoughtful, produce‑led dishes that keep things simple but deeply satisfying - fresh pasta, beautifully cooked fish, rich sauces and the sort of desserts that linger in your memory. The wine list is just as considered, with a strong focus on low‑intervention bottles designed to sit effortlessly alongside the food.
Since opening, Café Cecilia has earned serious acclaim, including a Michelin star, cementing its reputation as one of London’s standout contemporary restaurants. Still, despite the accolades, the atmosphere remains refreshingly down‑to‑earth. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just craving beautifully simple cooking done brilliantly, Café Cecilia nails that elusive balance of charm, quality and ease.
