Lagom at The 3 Compasses, Dalston



Lagom is chef Elliot Cunningham, who has been popping up around London for several years, and is now serving burgers, buns and more at 3 Compasses in Dalston, E8, Tuesdays to Sundays.

Elliot is a big fan of fire cooking, and his  burgers and buns are really worth the visit (I came all the way from SW4).  I had the lamb burger, with Greek spices and even a dash of yogurt, which was spectacularly good.  I need to nip back to try some more; he also does a smash burger, a chicken bun, and a fried celeriac bun.



& don't forget to order a portion of the triple-fried potatoes - these are seriously addictive.

When - Tuesdays - Sundays

Where - The 3 Compasses, 99 Dalston Lane, London E8 1NH

Bookings - via 3 Compasses' website
