A Balkan table

Barrett Rd, London

in Walthamstow

Balkan sharing plates

The Lacy Nook started in 2016 as a restaurant in Stoke Newington, with one goal: tasty dishes with unique flavours, plates full of personality from the Balkan region. In 2023 we brought it to Walthamstow, the neighbourhood Elena has called home for eighteen years.

Plates full of personality,
made to be passed

Sharing plates from the Balkan peninsula, cooked by a small family team in Walthamstow. The menu changes often, so order a few and pass them round.

Bookable, and tables fill quickly, so reserve ahead

the way Macedonia taught her

A small dine-in room, no delivery

A small glass of walnut rakija is a favourite way to begin here, poured before the plates start arriving. We are a dine-in room rather than a delivery kitchen, so the best way to try everything is at the table, ideally with a booking.

Tables are taken by bookings even when the room looks quiet, so regulars suggest reserving rather than chancing a walk-in.
