OKN1

Located just off Hoxton Square, OKN1 is an award-winning casual dining restaurant from Hackney’s next generation of chefs and hospitality professionals.
OKN1 is a AA Gold Rosette awarded, full-service restaurant providing in-work experience and training alongside professionals.

We combine a relaxed bistro style experience with top-quality produce and flavours usually found in gastronomic fine-dining. Expect a seasonal menu, serving modern British classics - faultlessly executed, at unparalleled value. Everything is prepared from scratch in the open kitchen – the menus evolve constantly to reflect the produce in season.

The kitchen is run by chefs with experience at the likes of Dean Street Townhouse. Our trainee chefs and hospitality students are working their way towards professional qualifications. Graduates include Victor Okunowo, a semi-finalist on MasterChef: The Professionals in 2020.

The restaurant has many welcoming spaces for you to enjoy. Whether you want to take your time over lunch or grab and go. Feel free to relax in our garden or watch the art of cooking as it occurs in our open kitchen.

We’re open to private hire and corporate events. What’s more, by supporting us, you’re giving to a great cause. Profits from our restaurant are invested back into education, supporting Hackney’s next generation.
