3 Course in Islington

Three Course has changed food and concept without amending the website. Now it's a short menu of burgers and ribs instead of simple, fresh Scandinavian style. Cooking was atrocious even for the new simplified food. A veal chop cooked to leather. Soft shell burger squidgy and unpleasant. No sides or veg or salads. The "chef" simply can't cook. You have the feeling they are running this place by the seat of their pants - economically that is. David, the very nice and embarrassed manager, told us the owner had gone to work in another restaurant. Other customers have complained that it isn't what they expected. On the plus side, the interior decor is quirky and appealing and the wine list has some delicious, well-priced labels but, on the basis of our experience, it's unlikely to stay open much longer.

Both food and decor are great.<br /><br />We went on a quiet evening and had the place almost to ourselves. The service was impeccable.<br /><br />The only disappointment was that the menu is significantly to the (superior) menu on their website, and that the fixed price is no longer offered. Vegetarian options are fewer than the online menu indicates, in particular. However we still found something we wanted and it was delicious.

A good looking, friendly resturant with good quality food, and a good location. A pity the menu online was not what they served. Summer burgers and grills. Not the fish I was looking forward to.<br />Nice place, nice staff.

We went to this restaurant for the menu posted online online to find when we kept our booking that the restaurant had made itselkf over to a burger an rib house. The waiter, a chaming man, agred that the posted m,emu was miucjh more ap[pealing than the actrual menu which he seemd to convey might be a respnse to l;ocal demand. <br /><br />I love burgers but I prefer to go to Byron. My lamb burger was an attempt at a Rosemary tour de force. It was more of a semi-detached than a tower. <br /><br />If the website would offer what is actually on offer I&#039;m sure much local trade would appreciate it. <br />If they would update their website I&#039;m sure I would have had no objection to a pleasant and palatable local burger house. <br /><br />I stoill think their original menu loked great and I&#039;m sorry if the local custom doidn&#039;t appreciate it. Not jhavong had the pleasure of tryingity I can&#039;t say. <br />But on Friday night we don&#039;t jave th energu to move on when the booking does not deliverf what was promised. <br /><br />boo hoo

Moderno estilo, muy pequeño restaurante con sólo unas pocas mesas y la cocina en una esquina, así que se puede ver su comida estar preparado. La comida es fresca y sabrosa. Van a través de un menú cambiar así que la mayoría parece ser que ofrece una variedad de hamburguesas y un par de otros platos. La comida es deliciosa y el servicio excelente. No es un mal lugar para una hamburguesa si estás en la zona. Los postres son todo el hogar - delicioso hecho pero un poco caro para lo que recibes.

Este es un muy buen restaurante local. Es muy acogedor y la cocina está prácticamente en la esquina de la habitación, así que se puede ver a los chefs en el trabajo - todo es sin duda fresco. La comida es una maravilla. El propietario es el camarero lo que significa que son muy bien atendidos. Mi única queja sería el menú no cambia. Sin duda recomiendo una visita aunque!!!

Had a lovely brunch here, big portions and really tasty food with some scandinavian influences. Cool decor and very good service.

One of the smallest restaurants I have been to. Maybe 25 diners max and an open-plan kitchen in the dining room. Food is very good and one can tell the ingredients are carefully selected and of high quality. The only negative is that the bathrooms should be refurnished to a higher standard to fit with the food and the price of the food.

I've been very delighted by the three course brunch plate and the scrambled egg on the mackerel were awesome. The ambient is really good and well curated, the open-style kitchen is a lovely detail for me. Highly suggested!

Food was fantastic, and in a small restaurant such as this, you have great service and can see everything being prepared in the kitchen which is in the room with you

Great ambience, a tight menu and very good service... not bad for a man that claims it&#039;s a hobby; but then I guess hobbies are those things we have a passion for. The food was fresh, we presented and was paired with some lovely wines. We had the langoustine for starters - and although a little peel for some - I was left wanting more. I had the saffron fish soup (fresh + fragrant) and the lovely wife had the venison ragu (delicious) for mains, rounded off with chocolate (please sir, can I have some more) cake and a sumptuous maple cheese cake. Make sure you get some of the fresh kale salad... it was full of flavour and we ordered seconds - greedy but great! Would I recommend it... YES. The only suggestion, don&#039;t choose the table under the range hood... I cooked at the same time as the meal!

Loved our dinner here. We&#039;d never been before and were very pleased by the excellent food and friendly welcome. Great seafood stew, gravadlax etc. We&#039;ll be back...

Decided to try it out on a Friday night, and overall it was a wonderful experience. Great food at great value. Very friendly staff. We will definitely go back- maybe for brunch, as their brunch menu looked delicious too!

Loved this place - great ambiance, service and value. The food was reasonably priced and very good. I will definitely be coming back for another dinner and weekend lunch or brunch.

A simple but consistently high-quality menu complimented by excellent, personal service. <br />Small and intimate venue. <br />The open kitchen may not be to everyone&#039;s liking but I think it adds to the charm.

Great setting, super service but what a shame 3 courses let&#039;s the food and you as a punter down by not having a (working?) Extractor fan. A day later I still smell it everywhere. <br />Such a gem with great value for money deserves much better.

Nice restaurant... but too expensive for what it was

Fantastic little place, great food, nice service from the owner himself.<br />Original and experimental food with a bit of Scandinavian influence.<br />Menu changes every week which is good :) <br /><br />Definitely on my list of faves.

Lovely date venue and fantastic service in an intimate venue

Perhaps my expectations were a little high having read so many good reviews but we were slightly disappointed after eating here last weekend. The setting/decor is very nice although the tables are perhaps a bit too close to each other when dining with 2 people. My starter (langoustines) was ok but nothing special, the main - a fish stew - was not served very hot, perhaps a little bland and very creamy. The wine list is not great; 3 whites and 3 reds only offering limited decent red options. Service was very good and friendly.

Great food, nice staff, relatively good value for London

realmente me gusta este lugar. Es una gran idea. Y eso es sólo el problema. La comida es escandinava influenciado, fresca y deliciosa. Pero siempre hay un problema con la temperatura se sirve comida. Algunos días hace frío. Otros días hace calor. Incluso cuando se pide EXACTAMENTE el mismo plato. Si sólo se podían conseguir ese derecho. Es uno de los que recomendaría una y otra vez.

The food, ambiance and setting were delightful. Everything is cooked in view and the menu is explained expertly. it is a small venue, with very light background music, with lots of little quirks on display! The potions are large so you will not go hungry, try the side portion of fresh kale, with parmesan, just sprinkle some black pepper on and is is scrummy! I had the pheasant which was lovely but served with two large portions, one would have been enough. The wines are delightful, not a huge menu but something for everyone. We were a table of 8 and all our food was served at the same time, with no-one waiting.

The ambiance was amazing, the food was fresh and seasonal. Uncomplicated menu and delivery. Freshly cooked. The Owner/ Chef and his sister were passionate about the place I would highly recommend this experience for foodies and romantics alike. The value for money is unbelievable. The website does not capture how intimate the place really is.

Lovely decor and atmosphere. Friendly staff. You can see the food being prepared and the care that is put into it.

Good service, friendly staff, but wouldn't trust opening times. Better call before going there. I would highlight the quality of the pancakes and the overall food service. Different experience recommended for a Sunday noon.

Reading the previous reviews, the website and the online menu I have no doubt this is a great little restaurant. However, our experience did not live up to the reviews. The place was almost empty so lacking in ambience a little but it was late so not their fault. We loved the open kitchen environment and the interior design of the restaurant with various ceiling lights and knick-knacks making it very homely.<br /><br />The starters were good with us choosing the langoustines and the gravad lax. We both chose the pheasant breast for mains which was unfortunately so dry I couldn&#039;t finish it. It was served with a huge portion of boiled potatoes (which we also couldn&#039;t finish) and some veg. We didn&#039;t stay for dessert due to the lateness of the evening.<br /><br />All that said I have the feeling our experience of the mains dish was an exception and I will certainly be visiting again for a second chance! Great wine. Great service.

Nice quiet restaurant, with the open kitchen right next to you enabling you to see your food being cooked. Nice experience, will return

Such a lovely down to earth restaurant with incredible food. Dinner was so yummy we went back for Sunday brunch and had another great experience. The food is fresh, flavoured perfectly and the server is attentive and kind. Lovely place and perfect for a quiet meal.

Habiendo bajado en un par de veces para el desayuno y café donde la comida estaba bien, fui con mi amigo para almorzar en un restaurante totalmente vacío. La comida era nada excepcional, de hecho nada caliente estaba disponible. Nos debieron de haber no se anuncia como un tiempo de almuerzo de tal situación, pero decidimos pedir a lo que no estaba disponible. Después de una buena menea de Chin mi amigo y yo tuvimos una bromas sobre quién pagaría (cada uno de nosotros que quiera para tratar a los demás) para que nos dijo la persona que afirma que dirige el lugar que "fue traumático" para el personal solo que estaba allí y que "esto quizás el camino se hace en la India, pero no aquí". Decidimos no ir a cualquier argumento, pero nunca me han hecho sentir tan horrible en cualquier restaurante. Claramente no paternalista este lugar.

Fuimos a este restaurante el sábado pasado y realmente me encantó el brunch! Pedí 3 almuerzo de campo, que, creo, que es su brunch de la firma. Mi amigo de Paris ordenados huevos escalfados con tortitas. La comida es deliciosa. Mi salchichas era el mejor que he tenido en Londres aunque yo siempre será una diversión de salchicha alemana en vez de inglés. Mi amigo me encantó sus huevos escalfados, y nos pareció que era mariage increíble de salado y la dulzura. El servicio es amable, pero quizás mejor que reservar, porque a veces está lleno. Tenemos pensado volver a visitar para la cena cuando visita Londres la próxima vez.

Took the kids here for brunch on the way to watch the football, we all ordered eggs cooked differently which if you know anything about cooking eggs (the yolk and white cook at different temps) it can be tricky, small intimate space with the bonus of the kitchen been completely open, the team here looked after my kids which is always good.

Fuimos para el brunch última semana después de leer los comentarios en línea. luce estupendo, y hemos estado lo que significa para las edades.

I have been to 3course several times, and each one has been very enjoyable. I would recommend trying not to sit next to the kitchen if possible as it get&#039;s very hot.

Perfect intimate venue with great service. The food was superb with great value for a 3 course meal. The open kitchen gave the feel of being a guest in the chef&#039;s home.

Two of us visited this restaurant tonight for the first time after being recommended it by some friends, we were very happy we took their advice! Three courses cost £28 each and the fresh langoustines that I had and the gravlax and potatoes pancakes my partner had to start did not disappoint the langoustines were sweet and full of flavour and the gravlax we both agreed the best we'd ever had! For mains I had soft shell crab burger and my partner the veal chop once again both well cooked and delicious with fresh vibrant sides. The owner was welcoming and friendly and the fact the kitchen is open creates a intimate environment where you feel part of the passion in the preparation of what your eating! I highly recommend this restaurant and also highly recommend your book! We will be returning very soon hopefully for a lobster and seafood night!(also note different days may have different themes and the restaurant is only open on certain evenings )

I love this place. Been for lunch several times now - the quality is excellent and the price is so low considering. Very friendly staff and lovely decor too.

Having spotted this place a while ago, it has been on our list to make a visit. We came here for Sunday brunch as a treat to celebrate some good news. We had high hopes as the concept seemed great, and all other reviews seemed promising. Sadly, we felt that although the atmosphere was great, the service adequate, the food was a real disappointment. To us it seemed beyond strange to serve French toast with a heavy helping of cinnamon with savoury food. The combination of cinnamon and cured salmon was just odd! All the hot food was served on cold plates which meant that after a little wait between kitchen and table our eggs, in particular were completely stone cold. I appreciate what they are trying to do here, but please serve hot food HOT, and please at least warn your customers that if they choose the French toast it will create a cinnamon infused mish-mash of spice and sweet and fish! We will go back for one of their special events, but not for breakfast.

Rather a quiet evening, but great atmosphere and excellent food - I had langoustines and wild boar ragout which were first class. A small wine list, but the carefully chosen Italian wines were a refreshing change from the usual suspects. Thoroughly recommended.

I've been meaning to pop into this restaurant for ages, finally did so on Saturday and was delighted. I went for the full English but with pancakes rather than toast and it was delicious. My wife chose fresh fruit with toast. We'll certainly be going back.

This is a beautiful little restaurant. A great local place to go for a chilled out date night.

I love this skandi- restaurant/ cafe! The food is of a very high quality and it looks incredibly colourful and beautifully presented. The Sunday Brunch is a must- generous portions of hash brown, mushrooms, asparagus and sausages with eggs go alongside french toast or fat American style pancakes with maple syrup. Everything on the Sunday menu is excellent. I recently had lunch on a Tuesday with a friend and it was a wonderful experience. I ordered a Smorgasbord of mushrooms, Beetroot and samphire on top of dark rye bread with warm goats cheese: as you can imagine, it was devine. My friend had the Frikadella brioche with potato salad which looked amazing and was practically inhaled. I have had an evening meal at 3 Course and it was of a very high standard- the burger was wonderfully moist and complex and the blondie: a perfect conclusion.The coffee is good and the homemade lemonade is a particular highlight. Above all the service is wonderful, warm and friendly.

The atmosphere is quite unique and predisposes you to relax and enjoy. The food is just delicious. The owner/manager is very dedicated and can definitely rock a pair or red trousers. I have visited 3 Course for special occasions, dinner and brunch and every time it has been a great experience. I would recommend this place for sure but booking is probably a good idea as it gets very busy, especially on weekends.

The evening meal we had at 3 Course was delcious. You could tell the ingredients were excellent quality and cooked extremely well. The staff were also very friendly and helpful if you needed anything. I would highly recommend and look forward to going back.

A friend took us here for dinner to celebrate our engagement &amp; we had a fabulous time! The service was excellent. Fast, efficient, &amp; professional!The food was perfect! The food was well respected &amp; had tremendous flavour! Brilliant value for money! Just make sure you book ahead!

Really intimate restaurant, food was amazing and the service was fantastic. Went for Rib Eye steak, cooked perfectly, and also the beetroot &amp; goats cheese to start.Loved it and fully recommend it...

I love eating here. The brunch menu is excellent, with delicious smoked salmon. The owner Hiten is very friendly, clearly passionate about his food and serves it, quite rightly, with real pride.

Really liked this restaurant, went there for brunch on a Saturday. The staff were really accommodating allowing rye bread instead if French toast and were very polite. It's a bit different, each dish comes with either pancakes or French toast. The poached eggs were fantastic, as were the scrambled! I wasn't sure I would want the hash brown but it was nice and light, just shredded potato.I will definitely go again!

I made my first visit to 3 Course for dinner this evening and couldn't be happier with what I found. We were served by the owner who was attentive, charming, interested and seriously at the top of his game - his absolute attention to detail is immediately apparant! The menu was wonderfully balanced and simple. The food was seasonal, fresh, tasty, perfectly cooked and the portion size was just right. Even the coffee was great! The restaurant space itself is also deserves a mention. With an open plan kitchen, it's airy, contemporary, relaxing, quirky and interesting all at once. And the bill was a wonderful surprise too! Great value for really good food. This place deserves to do well and is a very welcome new neighbourhood spot.

This is probably my favourite place to eat in London. Great food and great service. I'm looking forward to the dinner menu which is apparently coming soon!

I love this little place. Great for breakfast as their pancakes are fab! I went on a weekday for lunch &amp; had some nice Swedish style open face sandwiches. The coffee is also good. I have not been there for dinner, but looks like they only open for dinner on set dates.

My friends and I have been there four or five times now and we love the food - fresh pancakes, coffee eggs. The surroundings are great and the staff are very attentive and forthcoming.I always like to bring different groups of friends there as I am never dissapointed and can trust that the food, staff and ambience will be top notch.Thank you 3 course.

Went here today after hearing about it online and I was not disappointed. Lovely brunch menu where everything you order comes with either French toast or pancakes - what's not to like about that?! Also took some friends here with their 18 month old; the staff were wonderfully accommodating and really sweet with their kid, which was very much appreciated. The actual place is small and intimate but not cramped and the food was reasonably priced, will definitely be going back.

Very charming place with great food and friendly staff. We have been around a few times and the atmosphere is always very nice and the food is fresh and super tasty

We walked past 3 course today and decided to give it a shot. The menu is great and has a scandinavian influence. Great staff and fantastic food. Amazing value for the money. We are definitely making this one of our regular restaurants.

We love it here, so pleased that a high quality, different cafe/bistro has opened in this area (near to the Balls Pond Road junction with Essex Road).The menu is excellent, Scandinavian themed - so unusual open sandwiches on dark, flat Scandinavian bread, with unusual toppings like meatballs + sauce, or picked herrings in sauce (sounds horrible, but it was v nice).The best value is the 3 course lunch, where you get delicious home made soup, main course is a small home made pie with salad, and a slice of cake for dessert. I think that costs £8.95 from memory, which I had today.They also do home made lemonade, in carafes, which is really refreshing.Coffees are served in glass tumblers, not cups. Their cakes are great too, I had passion cake today, which was delicious.It's already becoming popular here, it's packed for brunch at the weekend. Deservedly so, as a lot of thought &amp; originality has gone into creating this place. The owner &amp; staff are always very friendly &amp; welcoming too. Highly recommended!You can also have a main course as a lunchbox to takeaway, for £5.95.
