Review of Dallas in Shoreditch

Bringing a slice of Lisbon’s laidback burger culture to Shoreditch, Dallas offers a modern East London take on the traditional burger joint. Taking over a former local pub, the cult-favourite spot pairs wooden tables, dim globe lighting and a striking feature bar with nostalgic touches that give the space plenty of character. Known for its no frills approach to burgers and neighbourhood centric ethos, the Shoreditch outpost brings a relaxed spirit to an area shaped by independent businesses, creative spaces and a constantly evolving food scene.

We kicked things off with the Truffle Mushroom Burger, opting to swap the usual 165g beef patty for a vegan alternative. Topped with Swiss cheese, rocket, sautéed mushrooms and truffle mayo on the original menu, the burger combines earthy mushroom flavours with the richness of truffle. The vegan patty offered a plant based alternative of the original offered on the menu, available on all burgers it’s a refreshing approach to catering for vegans without just offering one simple option.

On the side, we ordered crispy French fries with Dallas’ vegan sauce. A straightforward pairing, the fries provided a lovely crunch, and the vegan sauce added an added moreish layer of flavour. Dallas’ concise but strong menu is great to see, not making burgers more complicated than they need to be and focusing on having less options but focusing on making them truly delicious.

With its relaxed interiors, neighbourhood feel and straightforward approach to comfort food, Dallas makes a welcome addition to Shoreditch. It brings a little of Lisbon’s casual dining culture to East London, offering a laidback spot for a burger and fries without the fuss.

Address: 138-139 Shoreditch High Street, London, E1 6JE

Taking place on Sunday 9th June, the eagerly awaited annual Marylebone Summer Festival will be celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, showcasing the best of the area’s shopping and dining accompanied by a day of family-friendly activations.

Marylebone Village will be fully pedestrianised for the occasion, with visitors enjoying alfresco bars and dining as well as entertainment like a pop up mini golf course and ferris wheel rides.

A dedicated dog zone ‘Bark in the Park’, wellness hub with Lululemon exercise classes and a wholesome farmers market will also be running for the occasion, as well as live music featuring a variety of artists and genres. There will be a line-up of unmissable entertainment to mark two decades of the much-loved community festival held in the heart of central London.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a summer party without delicious food and drink; an abundance of street stalls offering food and beverages from the local cafes and restaurants will be on offer, as well as the retailers in Marylebone Village hosting in-store activations and exclusive discounts.

Marylebone Summer Festival is organised and funded by The Howard De Walden Estate, who carefully nurture Marylebone Village, one of London’s most distinctive and atmospheric shopping destinations. This year’s festival will be raising funds for charity partner, Young Westminster Foundation, who invest in brighter futures for young people in the local area.

The full schedule of events and activations will be announced very soon.
