Description
TOWPATH is a Hackney institution that thrives on simplicity, seasonality, and a strong sense of place. Perched directly on the Regent’s Canal in Haggerston, this open-air café is only open during the warmer months, making it feel like a fleeting secret worth chasing.
Founded by Lori De Mori and chef Laura Jackson, TOWPATH has built a cult following without ever advertising or even having a sign. Its charm lies in its unpolished authenticity - no Wi-Fi, no takeaway cups, and no reservations. Just honest food, a buzzing canal-side atmosphere, and a menu that changes daily based on what’s fresh and inspiring.
The food is deceptively simple but deeply satisfying: think olive oil cake, fried eggs with mojo verde, or a grilled cheese sandwich elevated with quince jelly. Every dish is made with care and served with a sense of generosity. The café’s seasonal, Mediterranean-leaning menu is a reflection of its founders’ backgrounds and their commitment to quality over flash.
