Natural wine, wood-fired pizza & modern small plates
"Elliot’s is a class act, from the drinks and food, to the service and casual cosiness of the room. The seasonal modern European food is sharing-style—signature decadent cheese puffs, anchovy toast, ricotta-topped wood-fired sourdough pizza—with a nice choice of steaks and whole fish to round it off. Wines are biodynamic and the staff will guide you through their selection of orange, pink, and chilled red wines to find you something you like." - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, jake missing, daisy meager, heidi lauth beasley
"The average house-price in the Isle of Mull, Scotland is £258,000. We know this because it is physically impossible to eat one of Elliot’s Isle of Mull cheese puffs without developing an intense curiosity for the source of the rich, fondant-like cheese you’re consuming. Except this merry expedition down a Google hole is driven on by an infatuation for a naughty and crunchy little mouthful of food. Highly-addictive yet gloriously simple, Elliot’s have effectively looked at a quality Scottish cheddar and thought ‘how do we make it socially acceptable to cover this in yet more cheese and sell it to the good people of Borough Market’. The answer? Deep-fry it. We salute them." - rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"Elliot’s is one of London Fields’ safest bets, particularly if you’re partial to off-white tones and atmospheric Instagram stories of your dinner. Just like its Borough Market sibling, the 10-inch pizzas at this buzzing, biodynamic-loving, modern European restaurant are completely wolfable. Crab with lemon and chilli; taleggio, sage, and brown butter; and classics like pepperoni and ‘nduja. There’s a whole wood grill thing going on too. But we can’t help but feel that with its outside seating looking onto Mare Street in all its glory, it’s best placed for sipping drinks, splitting pizzas, and picking on salads." - jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna
"It’s been one of favourite places to eat, breathe the sweet outdoor air, and generally remind ourselves what its like to be social on several occasions - and now Elliot’s has officially opened their second location, in Hackney. The new restaurant was doing some takeaway pizzas and sandwiches over lockdown but now it’s ready to open proper. It’s off of Mare Street, has outside seating, and features things like langoustines with bisque. And of course, those cheese puffs." - jake missing
"The Dish: Isle Of Mull Cheese Puffs Where is the Isle Of Mull? What are the housing prices like? Are we capable of surviving a Scottish winter if we spend the entirety of it in front of a fireplace while coupled up with this tangy cheddar? One bite of this supremely gooey ode to sensual frying from Borough Market’s most romantic wine bar, and sure, get the fireplace going." - heidi lauth beasley, daisy meager, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
