"Fairy lights, olive trees, and gluggable natural wine. No, we’re not giving you a sneak peek into our Airbnb arrival requests, these are all things you can expect on Cafe Mai’s canalside terrace. An all-day restaurant and bar in Hackney Wick, it serves delightful Italian-leaning dishes that are destined to feature in your SUMMER ‘24 photo dump. Think chilli and anchovy pesto tagliatelle, a best-in-class focaccia, and tiramisu, with picturesque canal boats floating in the background. " - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
