When the Balkan heat arrives, the tables fill with meze, dips, fresh bread, grilled vegetables, salty cheese, olives and long lazy conversations. From Turkey to Greece, North Macedonia, Bulgaria and across the whole Balkan coast and countryside — this is how we eat in summer. Light, colourful, made for sharing and made for hot weather.
What else is there to do when the sun is out, other than gather around the table Balkan-style, dipping warm bread into something delicious with a cold drink in hand? Spinach tzatziki/Ajvar/Baba Ganoush
Our meze and dips are available on our Saturday brunch menu — little plates, big flavours, just how the Balkans like it. ☀️🫒🍆

Filo pastry has a way of making everything feel like home.
Golden, crisp, flaky layers hiding warm, comforting fillings inside. Who could ever say no to filo?
And with this beautiful weather, it feels like the perfect time for a slice of spanakopita — spinach, feta, herbs, wrapped in delicate filo and baked until perfectly crisp. Simple pleasures, Balkan style. ☀️🥬✨ OR Sesame ring fried egg, spiced beans, feta, bacon & herbs. Almost full English but Balkan style.

Claypot baked feta is BACK FOLKS! We bring it back every summer. You requested, we listened! It never never gets boring. All you need is an ezme bread to dip it in. Filo manti with lamb mince, leek, garlic yoghurt, chilli oil, parsley going strong too 😋😋💪💪

A Balkan Summer Table ☀️ 4th June from 7.00pm
Finally… The Balkan Kitchen at a Balkan restaurant. It was about time. (IYKNYK)
Join us at The Lacy Nook for a very special one-off evening hosted by our dear friend, award-winning author Irina Janakievska — a celebration of Balkan summer through food, stories, wine, and togetherness.
Expect generous sharing dishes, seasonal flavours, long-table dining, and the kind of warmth only Balkan hospitality can bring. Inspired by kitchens across the Balkans, this will be an intimate evening of culture, conversation, and slow summer joy.
One night only. Come gather around the table with us. 🍷✨ Book via our event page.

There’s something about beef ćevapi that no fancy food trend could ever replace. Those little grilled sausages arrive hot, smoky, tucked into soft lepinja bread, with onions on the side and kajmak melting into every bite — and suddenly you’re not just eating, you’re remembering. Summer evenings, loud family tables, roadside grills somewhere between North Macedonia and Slovenia, music playing, friends talking over each other, somebody ordering “can we have 10 more.”
It’s the taste of the Balkans. Of Ex-Yugoslavia. Rustic, homely, indulgent, unapologetically delicious.
And when you find real beef ćevapi in London? That first bite hits differently. It brings memories back instantly — the good times, the warmth, the feeling of home far away from home. Everybody says, “Oh, they’re just little sausages.” But people from the Balkans know better. Ćevapi are tradition. Identity. Comfort. A whole culture on a plate.
Once you try proper beef ćevapi, there’s no way back.
Beef ćevapi forever on the menu — dinner, brunch, late nights, always.
Maybe use your hands. That’s how we eat them.
Love
Elena & Jason

BBQ carrots, crème fraîche, carrot top pesto & balsamic 🥕✨
Bye bye carrots… you’ll be missed from the menu. So simple, so tasty, so colourful.
A new season is just around the corner though, and we’ve got lots of good things coming soon 🌿
Meanwhile, the charred greens are still going strong — and honestly, they might just be our favourite thing on the menu right now. Full of flavour, texture, and all the good stuff. Please do give them a try 💚
