Burnt Umber is a neighbourhood brasserie at 2 Hepscott Road in Hackney Wick. The venue moves comfortably from morning coffee and brunch into more substantial meals, offering a relaxed setting for residents, visitors and groups exploring the area.

Breakfast and brunch provide familiar daytime choices, while the later menu gives the restaurant a distinctive Balkan influence. Grill dishes such as cevapi, pljeskavica and raznjici bring seasoned meat and char to the centre of the plate, accompanied by regional staples including ajvar and kajmak.

Vegetable and vegan dishes ensure the menu is not defined by the grill alone. The balance of smaller plates and generous mains encourages sharing, and a Sunday roast introduces a British weekend ritual through the kitchen’s own broader flavour vocabulary.

Burnt Umber suits a casual breakfast, a social dinner or a longer Sunday meal. Its appeal lies in the transition from approachable brasserie cooking to confident Balkan specialities, all served in an informal east London setting.

Address: 2 Hepscott Road, Hackney Wick, London E9 5HB, England
