The best restaurants in Islington London

Absolutely delicious Ethiopian food! Love this place, one of our favourites around here. Flavourful dishes and great fresh injera

It was a great vibe and energy in the room, the bar staff we efficient and friendly. Jonny and Ana were very helpful.

Very good fayre, breakfasts were cooked in a timely manner and piping hot throughout, served with substantial bread lovingly toasted and lashings of butter. Lots of menu options throughout the day. Charming and cosy-with a personal touch. Will come again for elevenses!

To everyone who is still travelling to bisou cafe they have now sold and renovating having problems with accessing google account so can not change status on google unfortunately they say they will be back Open in 4 weeks looking very forward to see what they bring to King’s Cross new owners are lovely young gentlemen and they say bisou will still remain as a cafe brunch bar with a brand new concept! 👍

Been coming here for 44 years (as the Alpini for most of them). Absolutely faultless, clean and fantastic value for a lovely breakfast. I really wish all concerned the very best you are keeping the very high standards of previous owners over the years.

Waitress got our simple drinks order wrong initially then ignored us to the point that I had to shout over to get her to come to our table as she had not brought us the water we requested nor checked up on us or asked if we wanted deserts after our plates had been cleared. When I asked for an ice cream flavour that was listed on the board she seemed very confused then returned to say they did not have this flavour (in which case surely it could have easily been removed from the blackboard). The bill included a 12.5% service charge which we asked to have removed as prefer to leave tips in cash according to the service. This also confused the waitress and who I presume was the manager that was brought over because she also just worked it out via a calculator and handwrote the new amount on the receipt. As there was 5 of us we split the total and all rounded up - 2 of us paid by card and the rest by cash; one friend also put extra change in to cover the tip so we had DEFINITELY paid over the total amount (minus the service charge) but another friend had used an old £20 note so had to go to the till to pay his share by card... where he was told we had underpaid by a few pounds and he had to cover this. He did so and the rest of us did not find out until after we left or would have argued this at the time. This all delayed us somewhat and we were actually late arriving at a gig we were attending nearby. On reflection I could not believe we were in the restaurant TWO HOURS and only had mains and drinks. The food was quite nice but the restaurant is very small with tables close together. We may have been a little loud as were a group but were made to feel very unwelcome.

I have purchased fish and chips from here on 3 occasions so I may not be qualified enough to make a fair judgment but on those 3 occasions. The customer service was respectful and friendly. There was a calm atmosphere and most importantly the food was very good. A good quantity of large crispy chips with a nice size cod with tartar sauce, the mushy peas where peas that where hot and mushy. I would recommend you to try it out. Reasonable prices too...

This place never disappoints. Food prepared with fresh ingredients, the quality is over the top. Very polite owners. Good selection of vegetarian dishes and always friendly staff.

Lovely cafe, makes you feel like home , the service is amazing and love the halal pancakes ,highly recommend

We went there for a Christmas drinks, only 3 of us. The atmosphere was so chill and yet warm, highly recommended for a cozy and funny night with friends. The tapas were absolutely a bonus. So, a nice venue, with good food to share, plus a drink. Excellent combo.

Just ordered on uber and cancelled ordered not happy

If I had one, I’d trade my first-born child for the brown stew chicken.

The bartender Alex was amazing and very welcoming

Had cocktails here the other week and it was great. Nice atmosphere and well priced. Will be back.

A Lackluster Culinary Journey at Prezzo Italian Restaurant My recent visit to Prezzo Italian Restaurant left much to be desired. The dishes, claiming to be Italian, were disappointingly basic, tasteless, and served in small portions at exorbitant prices. As someone with an Italian heritage, the authenticity of the cuisine was notably lacking. To add to the culinary letdown, our party was initially informed that there were no burger buns available, proposing a bun-less burger as a substitute. Miraculously, a bun appeared later, raising questions about the kitchen's organization and decision-making process. It would have been preferable for them to 86 the item instead. The presence of an alarming number of flies in the venue further tarnished the experience, with these pests making their way into drink glasses and onto the food. When questioned about this issue, the response was dismissive, merely stating, "we are looking into it." This lack of concern for hygiene is unsettling. However, amidst the mediocrity, the shining light was our waitress, who stood out with warmth, professionalism, and an infectious smile. Unfortunately, her positive attributes couldn't compensate for the overall subpar experience. The charcuterie board, while acceptable, failed to elevate the overall impression of the restaurant. In conclusion, if you're seeking an authentic Italian dining experience, I'd recommend exploring alternative venues. Unless, of course, you're in the mood for a unique encounter with a fly-infested ambiance, a dubious burger saga, and a fleeting smile from a standout waitress at Prezzo Italian Restaurant. Feel free to spot the flies on the barely eaten salad!
