Allegra in Newham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Very nice food, but the service was indifferent at best. We had a voucher for a tasting menu and a free welcome drink. We were never given the drink but didn't want to make a fuss (we were there to enjoy ourselves not to complain) so put up with it. Nobody took our coats or offered to take them. We ordered a bottle of wine and it took ages to come, and they didn't leave it at the table but nobody noticed when my glass empty so i had to ask for my glass to be topped up when it was empty. It wasn't the same year as the one in the menu. They brought the bill before we were finished and didn't ask if we wanted cheese or coffee. At no point did we feel they cared about our experience or what we wanted. It just felt, as i said, indifferent, and not the special occasion it was meant to be. But the food was very good.

We arrived a few minutes early for a 2.30pm Mother’s Day lunch reservation. We were asked to take a seat near the bar as our table wasn’t ready, fair enough. We ordered drinks while waiting but when it got to 2.45 I asked why we hadn’t been seated - no one had bothered to come and apologise for keeping us waiting! I was told it would be a few more minutes as they were waiting for a ‘better’ table and the hostess then apologised. We were then seated at almost 2.55, - nothing special about the table, we were asked if we wanted wine, my husband replied he would probably have a glass but then no one bothered to bring a wine menu so he didn’t bother. Two of us ordered the roast beef and when the food arrived nearly half an hour later, we were shocked to see the beef was pretty much raw - needless to say we had to send it back and request it to be cooked to medium. I have never seen roast beef served so rare, the rind wasn’t even rendered. We should have been told how it would be served beforehand. All the vegetables were barely warm and there was just a tiny bit of gravy in the bottom of each enormous jug it was served in. We were hungry so finished our food and immediately requested the bill. The waiter brought it and told us our drinks weren’t on it which we thought meant we had to pay separately for them at the bar, but he meant they were complimentary because we had to send our food back. Interestingly enough, although there appeared to be at least one manager on duty, we were clearly weren’t deemed important enough for an actual apology. I can’t help but wonder if my husband and friend weren’t the right ‘shade’ for their restaurant….. we won’t be returning, that’s for sure!

Allegra All of our previous visits to Allegra have been on a sunday so we thought it was about time to try the Tasting Menu which looks incredible value for money when you consider the quality we know they produce. So on Saturday lunchtime we did just that. After walking through the shopping centre you head to the Stratford Hotel and the oasis that is the seventh floor. Here you will find peace and tranquility and a fabulous way to spend an afternoon. We arrived on Saturday via their private lift on the ground floor which takes you straight to the restaurant. We were given a fabulous warm welcome before being escorted to our table. Now we could relax with the anticipation of great food , wine and service that we know Allegra provides. A complimentary glass of bubbles arrived from sommelier Seyit to welcome us back. The tasting menu was already on the table and consisted ten courses including snacks and petit fours for the amazing price of just £62. Even if you added the two supplement courses it would still be under one hundred pounds. Now on to the menu which started with a fantastic selection of Snacks. These were the Beef Tartare , green peppercorn and watercress tarts , Hazelnut and Onion gougeres , Focaccia with tomato , basil and parmesan from the menu. They also treated us to a couple of their classics in the Pistachio Choux buns and the Waldorf Tarts. We now needed some wine to pair with the majority of the menu and from their Bin End wine list sommelier Seyit recommended a Valdespino 2020 Palomino from Spain that was an absolute delight. Our first starter course was the Beetroot , winter leaves , blackberries and pecan a very interesting combination of flavours that worked together beautifully. This was followed be the second starter a heavenly Bouillabaisse with hake , mussels , fennel , croutons and basil. This led us to the supplemented Roasted Scallop with pickled celery , champagne and caviar which was literally one of the best scallop dishes I’ve ever tasted. Next to arrive was the Barbecued Monkfish with carrot , lardo , ginger and shellfish sauce that was simply a triumph. Now it was time for the main course and fantastic it was to . The Confit Lamb Breast with purple sprouting broccoli and anchovy dressing was delicious. We decided having tried it before not to have the second supplemented course of Parker House Rolls which I would definitely recommend. This meant it was now time for the amazing pastry chef Kelly to work her magic and she did not let us down in the slightest. We started with the pre dessert of Sour Cherry , buttermilk ice cream and olive oil before moving on to a dessert feast. Firstly from the menu a fabulous Rhubarb and Vanilla Tart. This was accompanied by two extra dishes newly created by Kelly. The Cherry and Chocolate Tart was a delight and the Orange and Caramel Mille Feuille was an absolute dream. We finished with a coffee and petit fours to bring to an end to a fantastic afternoon. The food was amazing , desserts were stunning , the wine was fabulous and the service was first class. When you consider that this tasting menu with one additional supplement dish was a mere £81 then it really was an exceptional dining experience. I would without doubt recommend a visit to Allegra and for one are looking forward to many more visits in the future. Ten Course Tasting Menu (including snacks and petit fours) £62 Value for money i think is outstanding Thank You to the chefs , Kelly , Seyit , Palumi and all the team for an amazing afternoon and look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Lovely meal, great service. We started with oysters and then onto the starter which is a lovely mix of shared plates. For main we shared the beef sirloin and the hash browns with crusty sesame crisp were absolutely stunning.We drank a Pommard and then had tokay and beignets. Then a piece of birthday cake and candle was appreciated. Good coffee and liqueurs - a lovely birthday lunch

A great warm and friendly greeting as soon as we came out of the lift. The chef(s) are amazing we could not fault any of the courses we had from the tasting menu. The scallop was sublime and would recommend all to choose this course as part of their tasting experience. A wonderful experience, and a big shout out to Cherry. Such a great member of your team. Keep up the hard work. we will be back.

We had the fixed lunch on Saturday, choosing cod and chicken for our mains. It was lovely - great food, Sicilian orange wine and great service from Bobby.

We had a mix up on our booking which at first was a bit of a concern but Clair Bracey, the GM, dealt with it with total professionalism. Therefore, we had a wonderful Sunday lunch. The shared starters for the table of steak tartare and mussels and fabulous bread etc was divine, followed by the most amazing sirloin steak to share, with a carrot side dish - recommended by Bobby - which were also delicious. Finished off with light and tasty desserts with tokaji for me and port for my hubby. A really enjoyable experienced. Thanks Clair for making it work, and to Bobby for great service. Jane and Ken.

Great decor, glamorous atmosphere. Set menu for Sunday lunch was good value. Wine list is expensive but there are some bottles in the £30s and the Cote de Gascogne was good. The starters for the table were delicious. I had fish which was great, and the others loved the lamb dish.

I really do hope that the vastly different experience at dinner this time wasn’t due to being with an old friend, rather than my white partner. We were made to feel very unwelcome when we arrived, and after being seated I was told I could not order a g&t until the sommelier reached our table. So I then got up and wandered around to find the sommelier to request said G&T. Sommelier then comes to the table to start discussing wine. I said I found this odd given we hadn’t even opened our food menus, so how was he to advise? He says he could anyway, but I insisted that we would choose our food first, and then talk wine. I think sensing at this point that they had messed up, a wonderful woman then looked after us for most of the rest of the evening, and acted as an intermediary. But there were still things that really weren’t on, such as the sommelier pouring wine over my arm later in the evening, and there being no white port on the menu, and then when I said I would have the Portuguese port, being asked if that was the ten year reserve - I said I wasn’t sure, but as it was the only Portuguese one on the menu, I assumed so. I also felt very patronised at several other points, including having to having to get out of the way of staff taking drinks to other tables when I went to the toilet, rather than them standing back for me as the customer. I refer back to really, really hoping it wasn’t because I was with an old friend, rather than my white partner. The food was ok, some was even good. And your options for anything decent in this bit of London are limited. But Allegra, you’ve lost me as a customer, and I shall not be recommending you any more.

As always, Allegra was wonderful. Patient when due to travel problems we turned up late. Generous when we asked for accommodation on restricted diets and wine choices. Food spectacular. Wine astonishing. Friendly and yet non-intrusive service. And it was only when we looked round and noticed that we were the only remaining guests that we realised that we had just spent nearly five hours enjoying ourselves. Long live Allegra and all its wonderful staff!!! SX

Beautiful restaurant with nice rooftop (it wasn’t open because of the weather but looked great). Food was good- great oysters, mussels in thai sauce and polenta fries were delicious. Yummy margaritas. Don’t expect big portion sizes but nice for a lunch or dinner to treat yourself. Service was attentive

“Hello my lovelies”, honestly! Our greeting as we walked in on a Saturday evening! Not okay in any restaurant let alone the £100 a head Allegra. This also carried on as we were shown to our table. The hostess concerned seemed to spend a lot of time marching, and I mean marching, up and down the restaurant and even running at one time to find a table for a couple. Not really relaxing for the diners. In comparison our waitress was lovely, informative and charming. Food was nice except our shared main course meat was all but raw, and the accompaniments only just this side of warm . Snacks, starters and pudding all lovely. The taster menu is £89 - a scallop course had a £16 supplement!

A great place if you’re looking for great food and service. I had been meaning to visit Allegra a number of times but never found myself planning to travel to Stratford, I’m pleased that I did eventually. The food at Allegra is amazing, every dish just wowed. The service made the whole experience. I didn’t expect to like the marmite dish so was completely surprised when I tasted how amazing it was.

Superb dinner experience at the Allegra restaurant following a shopping afternoon at Westfield. Excellent “snack” starters, and gorgeous mains. Steak to share, the lamb, and the cod and lobster all went down exceptionally well. Expansive wine list. Lovely desserts and the staff made a great fuss with birthday cake and candles. Will definitely visit again. Especially as we have someone named Allegra in our family!

We were staying at the Stratford for Abba voyage so came across by chance Certainly worth a visit We went with the tasting menu, and were not disappointed. The hor d’oeuvres were lovely, and I especially enjoyed the venison and quail. The sommelier was excellent and advised us , with what we know we like , to a gorgeous Zinfandel How waiter was excellent and very engaging and diligent We are glad we were there early (6:15) as it got a little busier and service a little slower. One for the team to work at

We've eaten here several times since it opened. Never been disappointed. Comfortable ambience; personable and informed staff; and a menu that entertains, intrigues and fulfills.

We visited Allegra yesterday, before going on to the Abba Voyage. It was our Xmas outing and I choose the restaurant for its location and the reviews I had read were on the whole good. We had two vegetarians in our group, and they were well catered for. The mixed starters were delicious, whipped cod was my favourite. My friend and I ordered the beef as our main to share. We asked for it to be medium rare, and unfortunately it was very rare when it came out. I had to send it back twice, which was a shame as the vegetables and delicious bearnaise did not stay warm by the time the beef was served. The knives for cutting the beef were very confusing. The sommelier, I thought was quite rude and said " For your information the sharp side is the other way" he definitely made us feel a bit stupid. There are ways and ways of talking to the guests. Anyway on the whole it was an enjoyable experience.....Just make sure to remember the knife is the wrong way up !!!

A wonderful classy restaurant with an innovative menu and superb service. A big shout out to Bobby, Cherry, and Seyit who made our evening so enjoyable. We hade the tasting menu which was excellent and on par with the top Central London restaurants, but very...

We ate at Allegra when it first opened and enjoyed it very much, and then again just after lockdown when they did a good job coping with the various restrictions. We had lunch there today, opting for the well-priced set menu, and it was better...

We’d certainly heard a lot of good things about Allegra so it was time to finally experience it for ourselves. I am now very delighted to say that after thoroughly enjoying our lunch on sunday we will definitely be making more visits in the future....

We came here after being attracted by Allegra's Instagram and other social media. However our experience was very disappointing. What started out as good service quickly turned into long waiting times of 40-50 minutes between dishes, including between 'snacks' and 'starters', which was just poor....

We ate outdoors in their lovely rooftop restaurant. The food was absolute stunning and the service was outstanding. By far the best restaurant in Stratford.

Was excited to try Allegra on a recent short break to London given their inclusion in the 2022 National Restaurant Awards top 100 UK restaurants. Our schedule only allowed us to book on a Wednesday evening when they only offer a set tasting menu and...

We went for dinner for our anniversary. We had pre dinner drinks on the terrace, which is lovely, and you can just go there for drinks if you wish. We were then shown to our table and chose the tasting menu, 9 small courses each....

The food and service were outstanding. Particular favourites were the snacks and our waiter Patrick. Thank you for looking after us so well. Will definitely return.

It was amazing experience and really good food , the waiter Patric it was very friendly and on point about he’s job well done 👏🏻.

Food was really nice and the staff were excellent, especially our waiter Patrick. This was useful as you are probably best asking for explanations of the dishes.

We had the most lovely afternoon at Allegra. We both travelled pretty far to try the restaurant. The service was impeccable throughout by everyone - so friendly and professional, and we felt at home and relaxed - and enjoyed a long and leisurely lunch. The...

Our first time here, met family here before heading down to the city airport for a flight. The service was great and the food very good, roasts to share which were superb. Wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Lovely setting

Attentive staff, great atmosphere and tasty food. Would definitely go back and highly recommended it. Live music was a bit too loud though but besides that everything was amazing.

I visited Allegra with my partner a couple of days ago for dinner. We were suggested to go for the tasting menu with wine pairing and actually, every course was sublime from the starter to the pudding (the beef tartare and the cod were to...

Unbelievable (as usual). This is is the fourth of fifth time we’ve dined at Allegra and as always, it was exceptional. An incredible concept that really understands its audience, infinitely better than most central London establishments - they have their own farm for Christ’s sake!...

Went for dinner having read good reviews. Overall the experience was good. Food was imaginative, very well cooked and presented and service excellent. We chose from the small à la carte menu with about 4 or 5 dishes per course. Portion sizes were on the...

Lovely local place. Verey friendly on arrival, welcoming and we were given great table. Really tasty food with lots of Vegetarian and Vegan options.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Hannah who I believe doesn’t work in this particular restaurant all the time. She was working NYE and made a big impact on our visit. So cheerful and bright and obviously knew her job in hospitality...

I was born less than 2 miles from where the Stratford Hotel and the 7th floor Allegra Restaurant now stands, and yet it felt like a million miles away. The restaurant is swish, elegant, stylish and modern. The food is delicious and perfectly presented, positively...

Welcoming relaxed and professional service from everyone - with special thanks to Patrick. Our orders were well presented and very tasty, portion sizes were small, so sides are definitely required if you’re hungry. There are some GF and veg options but flexibility/replacements for items on...

Most wonderful dining experience. Sitting in the cantilever nook of the tall, Stratford hotel building, you have views across East Village, the QE2 parks, and best of all you will be spoiled with excellent food. And spoiled you will be, when you done there. Patrick...

I was looking forward to this Resturant and My daughter too but it was so disappointing. Extremely over priced! Food not up to my standards and not tasty at all. £72 was overly exspensive per head and it wasn’t good at all. However the venue...

We booked here on a recommendation. Unfortunately it was a poor choice. We sat on the terrace ( as still not comfortable eating inside) and could only ordered from the terrace menu which is limited. The burgers when they came out where very rare and...

The most fabulous layout and so lovely to eat outside in the warm summer air. But as lovely as the place is and as friendly and nice as all the staff were, the food is very underwhelming. If you choose to sit outside which we...

We visited this beautifully designed restaurant yesterday after looking forward to it for so long. We sat down at midday, restaurant was empty really. After looking at the menu we realised that the food was gong to be a little different than anticipated. Our server...

This was our first proper trip out post lockdown and it turned out to be a real treat. Allegra is a really nice friendly restaurant in the middle of the Olympic park with a terrace and surprisingly good food. We picked it as the weather...

The chef really deserves a Michelin star, or two. We wanted to take our daughter and her fiancé out to celebrate their engagement. The staff were lovely. We felt very safe and Covid19 regulations strictly adhered to {we're nearly 70} and very well looked after....

Second visit this evening and even more blown away by the food. Service and atmosphere top notch too. Could not fault it in any way!

Some hotel restaurants really feel like they are an add-on to the hotel - Allegra is the opposite; A restaurant so good they decided to build a hotel underneath it! Everyone, from the doorman to the sommelier, was utterly charming and helpful with minimal pretentiousness....

I literally couldn't fault this restaurant for atmosphere, food, service, etc. We came for a treat dinner as a couple and it was absolutely fantastic. The staff are so welcoming, professional and genuine and the food is knock out. Genuinely one of the best dinners...

Can’t fault the food and service here. Every dish was delicious and well presented. Nice touch of tequila shots for the table to celebrate birthday girl! Can’t be long before they get a Michelin star.

Went on sunday and the brunch menu was on offer. Good points - venue lovely, wine list good, relaxed service. Bad points - portions tiny, mixed leaf salad was just a chopped up iceberg, took an age to get the bill. In summary would return...

The £28/35 2/3 course menu is exceptionally good value, food excellent and service impeccable. Came away very satisfied with our meal and will definitely be returning.

Allegra had been on the list for my friend and I to visit and we were pleased to book a table for their brunch menu when they reopened. Our booking for 12pm saw us one of only two couples in the restaurant so it made...

From the outset, the service at front of house was perfect. For a very smart restaurant the first impressions were not pretentious nor snobby. We were taken to our table and offered water straightaway. The service from then on in was nothing short of perfect....

Allegra is a rare place where refined dining, creativity, indulgence, style, and staff courtesy exceed expectations. During the summer a stunning garden terrace is open for a classy aperitif or a unique al fresco dining experience.a The wine selection is impressive as it is the...

Very impressed with this restaurant, the surroundings were gorgeous and the food was some of the best we have tasted. There were 4 of us and we opted for the chefs selection, we were not disappointed at all. The pictures probably don’t do the food...

Beautiful restaurant on the 7th floor of the equally fabulous Stratford Hotel. Staff knowledgeable, present without being intrusive and charming. Interesting menu, well presented food, a little fine tuning with the taste would make the restaurant excellent.

I was a little apprehensive as I usually go for more informal dining - I shouldn't have wasted my time as this was simply not the case - thank goodness! Friendly, professional service - attentive but not uncomfortably. We were a party of four and...

I have never ever eaten such beautifully chosen and cooked plaice !!!! This was delicious and a thick Halibut style cut. Followed by Apple mille feille very nice. Lots of service and very good wines. Tasty bread to start.
