Hash E8 (Dalston Lane)

Hash E8 - Review - Dalston - London - The Infatuation

"Come Saturday or Sunday morning, brunch spots around Dalston are a bunfight, and getting a walk-in table at Hash E8 is no different. Let us save you time spent jostling for a spot with local Hackneyites—there are better places nearby. Although service is friendly, it’s a plain space and the hard chairs don’t exactly encourage a relaxing start to the day. Some dishes like eggs benedict on their signature puck-sized hash brown are just fine, while others miss, like the overly earthy ‘Beets n Sweets’ with poached eggs and chunks of sweet potato and beetroot. And their filter coffee (the only coffee they serve) falls on the too-bitter side. If you do find yourself here, order a sugar rush in the form of the thick, fluffy pancakes. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Pause Unmute Food Rundown Beets N Sweets We’re not opposed to getting some of our five a day with brunch, but the chunks of roasted sweet potato and beetroot bring the same earthy note, and spinach only adds more of a bitter edge. Poached eggs with too-runny hollandaise don’t improve things. It’s a fibre party we’d rather not be invited to. photo credit: Daisy Meager White Chocolate Pancakes If you’re getting anything, make it this stack of pancakes with white chocolate and caramelised banana. It’s definitely one for the sugar heads, but the flavour combination isn’t on all brunch menus, and isn’t too sickly. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Daisy Meager
