Little Duck the Picklery

Little Duck the Picklery is a tiny restaurant, natural wine bar and fermenting kitchen on Dalston Lane, one of the most interesting and distinctive small restaurant spaces in Hackney. Roadbook rates it among the best restaurants in Hackney, describing it as "best for: an open kitchen specialising in ferments and pickles" and noting that reservations go quickly due to the diminutive size -- booking well in advance is strongly recommended. The concept is a natural pairing of seasonal Mediterranean-influenced sharing plates with an extensive natural wine list and house-made kombuchas and cocktails, with fermentation at the heart of both the cooking and the drinks programme.

The seasonal menu shifts with the produce available, drawing on influences from across the Mediterranean to produce sharing plates that pair beautifully with the wine selection. The natural wine list is curated with expertise and passion, featuring bottles from small producers across Europe. Open for lunch Wednesday to Sunday; dinner all week. An essential Dalston reservation for lovers of natural wine and thoughtful small-plates cooking.
