The Empress

Fantastic. Brilliant Sunday roast . Good service and lovely sitting outside. Artichoke , crab and aioli starter very tasty. Vegetables with roast pork perfectly cooked. Recommend.

The crispy pig 's ear strips served in a cone with a tangy apple sauce on the side is done perfectly. Order as a bar snack or pre-starter. Read the full East London Girl review at http://goo.gl/wRbHD

Awesome Bloody Marys , sherry by a half bottle, Breton Cider 's, then an awesome selection of tequila . Plus if you like beer , they have more than 10, and on Mondays it's BYO ! Read more

Solid roast. Great service. Finish with an Affogato . Will return.

Gorgeous sunday roast made with high quality produce. To start order some of the bar snacks and share them - the pig 's ears were particularly good.

Their new renovations are subtle but lovely! The harissa and duck egg is great. Duck breast is awesome and has a great reasonable wine list .

Had a fantastic dinner here tonight. The snails and bone marrow was fantastic, as was the sweet potato salad and panacotta. Love it! Will be back.

Great spot. Eggs royale was perfect. Bloody Mary nice and spicey . Service could be a little more attentive though. Nevertheless, I'd definitely come back.

I adore this place. Menu has Spanish influences in a very well mixed selection . Indoors is cosy, outdoors is great. Service and staff is friendly .

Love the small selection of tapas . The polenta is specially good. Great wine too!

Great place with interesting and tasty food. Pig 's ears, pig 's head and crispy lamb fillet are the best!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the brunch ! Eggs Benedict to die for...

Unbelievable spot for Sunday grub, especially the Sirloin roast.

Start with the awesome chorizo and duck egg appetizer . The Guinea fowl was also great.

Awesome small plates , especially Burratta, Padron Peppers , amazing charcuterie and Crate IPA locally made bitter!

The bar snacks rock, padron peppers , croquettes , frito misto and if this ain’t enough on a Sunday then stick around for the roast, it’s the best! Read more

You might as well stay for food – because with over 10 beers you’ll need something to soak them all up http://barchick.com/find-a-bar/london/the-empress

Everything here is good and the staff are super friendly . Dog-friendly too.

If you have the choice of gnocchi on the menu, go for it! The best I've ever had.

Great Sunday roast with beef from the Ginger Pig .

The monthly Fine Wine and British Seasonal Food evenings are a must. Excellent food matched with excellent wines . A knowledgeable Sommelier . And reasonably priced!

I love the food here! Get the steak and chips baguette

Fantastic food, service is incredible and the brownie is unreal.

Great host and always a friendly quality meal

Killer pork belly , easily best food in victoria park , hats off to michael...

Guinea Foul, service and atmosphere, kid friendly

Food is unquestionably really good here, but the service could be more friendly ...maybe we got them on a bad day?

Best. Roast. Ever. Make sure to order the whitebait to start.

Dog friendly , great menu!

Incrediblly tasty but refined sunday roasts

Great Sunday lunch , try the whole roasted chicken (for two) that you carve at the table ;)

Great chateaubriand

Eggs Benedict and Eggs Florentine you'll never forget.

Try the crispy pig 's ear. The texture is amazing.

The breakfast is very good.

Great roast beef and lemon slice :)

Great breakfast / Brunch on a weekend

Under new management, sells a lot of small, poncey sounding fish dishes .

Disorganised service and the food was disappointing for its value.

Drinks are mediocre. Food stops at 9pm on a Friday?

In the Michelin guide 2013

Never been so disappointed with a pub food . Our dishes were microwaved straight from the freezer. Never again :/

Sunday roast - get the full roast chicken :-)

The best Eggs Benedict in East London.

Only went for a dessert . Meringue was terrible

Hamburger !

Excellent huevos rancheros
