Reviews Casa Fofo

Booked at Casa fofo for my partner's 30th birthday and had the loveliest experience. Food was outstanding, all courses were so original and yummy, met all our expectations for a 1 star Michelin. The menu follows the chef inspiration but all our dietary requirements were catered for. As an appetiser, we had a fabulous freshly baked bread with homemade butter that was so creamy and soft. Was followed by a fish dish of the finest quality and mushroom dish with a special BBQ and beef taste that I found was so original. We were then served lemon raviolis and a porc dish that was out of this world. The porc was cooked to perfection at low temperature and served with the tenderest and juiciest bacon slice I ever had. But my absolute favourite was the desert: a special type of tiramisu with a truffle / mushroom taste. So original but also so good. The meal was full of surprises as we were also given nibbles at the begining, a miso soup between starters and main, a yogurt sorbet as a pre desert and some small cakes at the end. All of that very reasonably priced at 68£. My partner had the wine flight (6 glasses) for 55£ which he enjoyed a lot, with natural wines that matched so well with all dishes. Service and atmosphere is unfussy, with the chef himself coming to explain his creations and making sure that all dietary requirements will be met. Overall this was the best birthday feast we could have thought of, no hidden service charge added on the bill as with many london venues, and all the family was pleased! We can't wait to come back next time we will be in London!

I came here with my girlfriend for her birthday and I can’t fault it. We went for the tasting menu and wine pairing, which is incredible value for money for what you are getting. We were sat in the front dining room by the kitchen so we could see the chefs assembling the beautifully crafted, seasonal dishes at the pass. We had a wonderful waitress who made us feel very welcome and talked us through the dishes and the paired wines in an understandable, non-w**ky way. The bread and butter was a spongy sourdough with a thick, crisp crust, which was a perfect vessel for mopping up sauces from a delicious and varied tasting menu. The highlight dish for me was a small charred onion which was sat in a silky duck sauce. The taste very much reminded me of Peking duck from a Chinese takeaway - salty, warmly spiced, rich and moreish! Go here, you will not regret it.

Amazing experience. The courses featured creative combinations with lots of fermented ingredients and some Asian inspirations. My personal highlights were the desserts and the butter that came with the homemade bread. The atmosphere was relaxed and intimate. The open kitchen was absolutely mesmerising to watch, we even witnessed the making of the sourdough bread for the next day! All of this made our evening very special, we’ll definitely recommend Casa Fofo to our friends.

Great service, delicious food! Wine list starting price could be lower. Quite pricy for the location but worth it. We were sitting downstairs which is cozy but maybe lacking a ground floor vibe and action.

Absolutely amazing tasting menu - really enjoyed every dish and had the wine to go with it!

We went for my boyfriend’s birthday. The food was delicious, the staff went above and beyond. The restaurant has a formal tasting menu with very laid back, unpretentious atmosphere. We had a great time and would definitely come back.

Very attentive front of house, we got very detailed explanations of all of our courses (including the wines) and I don’t think we were ever without water or wine for the whole duration of our meal.Tasting menu was great, especially enjoyed all of the savory courses and the bread. Wine pairing was excellent as well. The kitchen also accommodated my homie with a vegan tasting menu with pretty much 24h notice. Dope spot, might be the best spot in Hackney.

Absolutely loved our visit here. We ordered the tasting menu with wine pairing. Every course and wine pairing was described clearly by the staff. They also took into consideration our dietary requirements which was really nice. We sat outside on a warm summer evening and had a really special experience. I can't recommend the place enough.

We went for lunch and got the set menu. I think the highlight of the meal is the pork belly. Other things are not as flavorful or memorable. I wish they have more flavored meat dish. 65 for the set menu.
