In an old abandoned warehouse you will find around 40 stalls, selling a huge variety of different cuisines from all over the world.
Juicy Burgers from the famous Blecker street to flavour packed
Korean burritos from Kimchinay, there really is something here for
everyone.
There's almost too many things to try that you can't
possibly experience everything in one night but maybe that's a good
thing, as I know I will definitely be heading back here again.
After taking a few recommendations from friends, we begun our night at 'Sticky Bun's, opting for the Shrimp and Pork sticky buns and boy were they good.
Next we decided to be a little bit naughty and made our way over to Smoke Shack for ribs!
It was possibly the longest queue in the whole place so we joined it eager to see what all the fuss was about.I don't think I've ever tired ribs that were as tasty as these ones. Still slightly pink in the middle and covered in delicious barbeque sauce, it had just the right amount of kick to it. It wasn't long before these were devoured and we were ready to try something new.
A few beers later we spotted Bleeker St Burger. I have been going
on for months about how much I wanted to try these burgers, so for me,
there was no question about whether I could manage one or not.
We
ordered a cheese burgers but later spotted 'The double beeker' - 2
burgers with black pudding sandwiched in the middle. Not really my kind
of thing but Ian thought this sounded incredible.
The burgers were good, extremely succulent and juicy. The meat was a
lot thinner than I had expected which was good for me as I was
beginning to feel rather full.
I would highly recommend trying one of their burgers but next time I think I'll head over to Mother Clucker and give them a go.
Feeling full and happy we stood by open fires to keep warm and people watch.
Most
of the market is set in an old run down warehouse with little nooks and
crannies, and small alley ways leading into hidden bars.
Girls
with cocktails in pineapples and coconuts wander past whist others sip
on gin cocktails from the bars over looking the crowd below.
Fairy lights and open wood fires are dotted around the place, helping cosy couples keep warm.
There is a real mix of people here which adds to buzz and incredible atmosphere that the market has.
This place would be perfect for a date night or even a catch up with friends after work.
So if you're looking for something a bit different and a huge choice of food, head on over. The website is here.
Arrive before 7pm and it's free other wise you will have to £3 upon entry.
Those burgers look so good! I love going to little markets like those! x http://www.coffeeatmidnight13.blogspot.co.uk/
ReplyDeleteI love Dalston Yard Street Feast. Get yourself over to Dinerama when it reopens it's much of the same but such a good atmosphere with all the different bars, the gin bar being my fave. Plus there are donuts....
