Humble Grape Islington in Islington

Staff is really nice! Great wine selection and the food is really good too!

We had a lovely birthday celebration at Humble Grape in Islington! the team was lovely and food delicious Great selection of wine too Highly recommend

The best service we’ve had since moving to London!! Thankyou for making our birthday so special, including a delicious surprise cheesecake with a candle. Wine was amazing, staff are so friendly and knowledgeable, we will definitely be back!! (We visited evening of Wed 23 April)

I love it here, perfect for a snack and some good wine with a friend or by yourself and Emmanuel has a beautiful soul ❤️

We had the best time at humble grape. We have been once before and this time was just as good. Jude took care of us and his recommendations were so wonderful. His service was 5 stars, will be back again!

Great selection of wines. Small selected menu. Food was delicious and I can highly recommend steak.

As usual, great time had at the Humble Grape. Lovely staff, amazing choice of wine and delicious food. Thank you

We had a delightful evening at Sunday in Humble Grape. Good food, small but a versatile selection of wines by the glass and Sumi's extraordinary service made us extremely happy. They also serve as a wine market, and have different specials throughout the week. Special thanks to Sumi and her authentic character. We'll be stopping by to try the South African wines.

This was a stunning experience being served by Manu and Sumi, very professional and attentive. We will definitely return again

Delicious food and super helpful and attentive staff. Wonderful selection of wines as well.

Fantastic food and great wine selection, the staff are was friendly and I loved the espresso martini 🍸

Lovely place, very welcoming and helpful staff, fantastic wines

Really positive experience, Pearl was amazing and helped advise us on some great food and wine when we couldn't decide what we wanted.

We tried the Humble Grape recently and had such a wonderful experience! Without knowing too much about Wine, Pearl gave us a lot of guidance and support in tasting and selecting the perfect wines for our pallet, and even convinced us to take one home which was delicious! The small plates tied everything together honestly! We will definitely be back!

This place is often quiet and I've no idea why, really great food at reasonable price and lovely atmosphere. A hidden gem

Amazing wine and food, and Pearl was extremely welcoming and helpful. We're definitely coming back soon!

Did a wine tasting event here this evening, 10/10! David who ran the event was absolutely brilliant. Very knowledgeable and sat with us afterwards to answer further questions. Already looking to come back next month for their next event!

Had a weird experience here. The staff made me feel pressured to keep ordering more or get out, they came by three times in succession to ask whether we were ordering anything else while I was still finishing my drink. not sure what the issue was as there were free tables and we’d only been there for an hour and were almost finished. Just felt uncomfortable, I chugged my drink and left. Also, when you pay (via QR code) they add a £1 donation to the bill. Not sure what the charity is but I think you should at least explain what people are paying for

Fab little place, great wine and equally good food. 🤩

Pearl was amazing, so personable and knowledgeable. Amazing hospitality and great wine! Pork belly is a must!

Really great find. Tasty small plates available. Extensive, interesting wine choice and on a Monday is at takeout price when you drink on site.

I didn’t realize there’s a lovely room behind the sophisticated wine bar at the front. We came for a Sunday roast and I had a nice meal. The price was high though, compared to similar establishments around the area. I came with two vegetarians friends and one vegan. They all ordered the vegan roast. However, even though the dish was marked vegan, the roast arrived with no gravy and no replacement for the Yorkshire pud. Come on guys, you charge £19 for the dish. If I was the person who ordered it, I would complain. I understand the dish looks extra empty because roast veg and cauliflower cheese was shared, but surely you need to do more if your menu labelled the dish as vegan (photo attached). Where is the vegan replacement for the cauliflower cheese?! I am happy with my mixed roast and loved all the sides. But for £26 for the dish, I struggle to see value for money. The madeleines were divine. I’m glad to have ordered the dessert.

Worst experience ever, do not go My friends and I had a reservation at humble grape last week. When we turned up, a few friends down, they told us they’d charge us £25 per person as per their booking policy. Their booking policy only states that this charge applies to no shows, rather than a reduction in party size. The treatment we received during the booking was horrendous and to make matters worse, a waitress came over and said that if we were to spend £105 (between three of us) she’d waiver the extra charges - hence proving that the policy was completely made up. I’d never go back, the service and experience was awful.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Humble Grape. From the moment we walked in, the staff was amazing—attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful in choosing the perfect wine to pair with our Sunday roast. The roast itself was impeccable. Everything was cooked to perfection, with generous portions of both meat and vegetables. And the wine? So deliciously moreish that we just had to get another bottle! The staff were on top of everything, ensuring our glasses were never empty and providing excellent recommendations. Their passion and expertise really elevated the experience. A truly outstanding visit—we’ll definitely be back!

A great time and very friendly very supportive staff and tasty food.

Visited the Islington branch last night - had a glass of South African Shiraz, Burrata and triple cooked vhips, all delicious and great quality. I would suggest to serve the Burrata with bread though as it feels something is missing on it’s own. Personnaly, I found aome of the wines by the glass seem quite overpriced. Being a bit more price conscious and playing a nice playlist in the background could really make this wine bar 👌

Absolutely lovely experience. I also have a garlic allergy which can be a bit tricky, and I have to say they were fantastic in accommodating me with this. Service was 5 star. Food was delicious and the wine was the star of the show!

Went to this branch on 25th January 2025, for drinks and all the staff were really friendly and welcoming. Will definitely return to sample their food menu, which looked very tasty.

Lovely place for wine and chilled birthday lunch. Suitable for vegans, veggies and meaties

Cozy and warm, perfect to have a quality time with a good wine.

Oh sharing the love for The Humble Grape . Just lovely ( and very good .)

We tried to go there with a friend on Saturday evening. We did not have any booking but the place was half empty so we thought we would be allowed in. The waitress refused us because they did not have enough "serving capacity". I don't know how many people you need to serve bottle of wines but anyway... Needless to say it's unlikely we'll ever try to set foot there again.

This is an amazing wine bar with a great selection of wines! We enjoyed the retail Mondays offer of purchasing bottles of wine at a reduced priced. We received a fantastic service from Manuel and Sumi tonight who were super welcoming and lovely - thank you!!

Delicious food, lovely wine and a warm and cozy atmosphere - its was akin to being in someone’s living room. Service was also warm and friendly without being intrusive. Great venuen

Service and atmosphere here is amazing! The food and wine are delicious! Highly recommend ♥️

The wine selection never disappoints at Humble Grape. Food is delicious, with a great choice for vegetarians and staff is always friendly and attentive. Our waitress Ella made our visit particularly memorable. We will be back!

Would highly recommend this restaurant and wine bar! Delicious food, a wonderful degustation wine menu and fantastic service!

Did not know this was here! Very chilled place for wine and an excellent Sunday roast. Superb staff too, who can help you choose the perfect wine! Highly recommend 👍

Found this place by chance, had an excellent Sunday lunch (and a few wines). Really recommended.

Great food. The staff are good. Knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere is good too.

Pearl was a fantastic host for a lovely bottle of festive cheer. Her chat and recommendation was very welcome. And we got the Monday deal with a fab wine at the take-away/retail price!

One of the most disappointing meals I had had in a long time. The veggie moussaka was barely edible, the rump fillet was full of sinew and gristle, the Tomahawk steak (£88 for two!!) arrived exceedingly rare despite us asking for medium rare, even when recooked it was still rare. Also had quite a lot of sinew. Strangely the baked camembert which was tasty arrived rather cold, it had obviously been cooked and then left to sit for a long time. The manager kindly reduced the bill when we complained, but we would much rather have had a decent meal and paid the full price. On a positive note the wines are exceedingly good values and the range is interesting. My advice go for a drink and avoid eating!

Qué lástima, lo que prometió ser una gran noche no lo fue. Como nota positiva, la elección del vino es variada y ofrece muy buena relación calidad/precio 10 / 10. La comida por desgracia no 1 / 10. Un filete de tomahawk (a 88 libras por dos) se pidió medio crudo y vino seriamente, seriamente mal cocinado. Un filete de grupa se cocinó bien, pero la calidad de la carne era mala y en lugares no comestibles. El moussaka de setas no solo se ve bastante poco apetitoso, sino que probablemente califica como la peor comida de restaurante vegetariano que he probado. El cordero estaba muy bueno. El camembert horneado estaba sabroso, pero extrañamente casi frío, (horneado hace un tiempo y se dejó enfriar). Cuando me quejé, el gerente amablemente dedujo algunos artículos de la factura - un buen gesto, pero yo hubiera preferido pagar el precio completo y tener una comida agradable. La cocina necesita algo de trabajo serio - y el plato de verduras totalmente reinventado.

Overcharged by £4 for one glass of wine! Be careful when touch paying- make sure you check the bill, first! They add on ‘extras’ like service and charity, even when you sit at the bar!

You should come here if you love wine

Tomé una copa de vino en el bar. Dao, un tinto portugués barato, por lo que £ 11 por una copa estándar era caro, pero esto es Islington, así que me tragué el precio y el vino. Cuando fui a pagar, la cuenta era de 14 libras. 50 ! ¡Cuestioné la cantidad y me dijeron que el ‘excedente’ era una donación y servicio de caridad! Cuando expresé mi decepción, ya que estaba sentado en el bar y no comía, el joven gerente explicó que el servicio era para pulir la zona y limpiar mi vaso! ¡Nunca lo supe! Tonto yo. Si te gusta un buen truco de confianza, visita mañana. De lo contrario, da a este lugar un parto amplio.

I expected fabulous wine and I was not disappointed! Great selection of picky bits to choose from too :)

They have lost their mind. Two glasses of gavi and a bottle of sparkling water, 34 pounds. I paid and after I arrived home I am still wandering if there was a mistake on the bill. Unbelievable

Wines were very nice, but the food was awful. Don’t like leaving bad reviews but the bill came to over £200 and we did not enjoy. Staff were great otherwise.

The humble grape is a fantastic establishment. As soon as you walk in, you're made to feel welcome. There is a smell of cheese and wine in the air which is extremely satisfying. The staff are friendly, I don't know anything about wine so I listened and took their advice. The humble grape is a place you can take a friend, or have a date. It's quiet and cosy. You feel like you want to spend money here. If you're in the Angel area, you simply have to come to this place, you will not regret it.

Extensive selection of wine and not just cheese platter but various small dishes and tasty ones. Downside of it, the ambience is a bit bland and it is pricy.

Fantastic atmosphere. Amazing wine and delicious food.

Excellent wine and service. I spilled my glass by accident during the evening and without even asking, they had already started preparing me another one. Very nice touch.

Delicious food, fabulous wine & Pearl was so friendly & happy to share her extensive wine knowledge.

Very good Prosecco and wine selection, cozy atmosphere, friendly staff.

Great experience at Humble Grape, good selection of wines and all the staff were lovely!

The place and the staff are so lovely and friendly! Will definitely be coming back!!

I have been twice now. Once with my daughter and then a girlfriend. We were made so welcome and Pearl was an absolutely brilliant Sommelier!! We had fun and learned a lot. The food, wine, service and atmosphere was terrific!

Wonderful evening at Humble Grape - food, wine and service were all excellent. A particular shout out to Pearl, who went above and beyond to help us pick out the right wine for the evening.

Absolute excellent Sunday roasts. One of the best ones I ever had

We love it here and super grateful to Pearl for being so attentive and absolutely going out of her way to be helpful. They also welcome dogs which is great and my pup loves the special attention and treats. Thank you :)

One of my favourite places for a meetup in Islington and I'm not even much of a wine drinker. This place makes me interested in trying some though: it's got a huge selection with some really unusual (for me) European selections. Their wine offering is huge though and there will definitely be something to your taste or worth trying on their menu. Failing that the staff are skilled and knowledgeable and will recommend something to your taste. The cafe itself is a lovely, welcoming space, just off busy Upper Street and not far from Angel Tube Station. You can sit in or outside- the window seats are my favourite. Booking is advised though as most customers seem to make reservations. The food is pretty good too, with a selection of small plates and main courses. I like to get a selection of sides to share with the wine. They also sell beers and other beverages. Staff are friendly, welcoming and full of wine knowledge and advice. It's definitely worth a diversion from Upper Street.

Did a great wine tasting and succulent planting workshop here, would highly recommend

Lovely spot with lovely wine, Pearl was an absolute delight x

Had a small gathering in their back room....excellent wine and finger food. Definitely well worth another visit

Celebrated our anniversary at Humble Grape, it was a really lovely place. We will definitely be back and I would recommend this place to other people. I would only not recommend the octopus dish.

Food and wine was lovely and Maria was great!

My husband’s birthday was absolutely delightful, we were given the royal treatment and were spoilt all night long! Thank you everyone, we will be back soon.

Second time having roast here and it didn't disappoint.

Amazing host- Alex was super accommodating in letting us stay later, fab restaurant will definitely be back

Alex was fabulous! Great evening! Roast beef and madelines were very yummy!

Gritar a Alessandro el gerente, que nos cuidó toda la noche. Maravilloso ambiente y la comida era deliciosa. Sin duda volveré!

Lovely food - especially crispy cauliflower! Huge selection of wine and great and attentive service. I will definitely be back 🥰

Way too overpriced. The food was lovely enough, the wines weren't that great. Prices had increased from the menu on the website. Lovely food, but at that price point I could go somewhere nicer and get more for my money

Fantastic service and wine, great space of an occasion.

Great location and lovely atmosphere - Alessandro was amazing!

After a dodgy start with the booking due to poor communication between the events team and wine bar, the problem was resolved. The small plates were excellent, intense flavours with delicate dressings on the side. Expert recommendations for wine from the South African guy, a Chardonnay from Stellenbosch was one of the highlights. Yes we will be back.

Interesting concept, good wine selection and service

We came for a very special occasion last Saturday and were welcomed amazingly well. The staff was very nice, as usual, the food was delicious, and the ambiance was great.

Wonderful experience at the Humble Grape! Alessandro is an absolute legend and a darling! x

Lana was really nice with us, we really enjoy our time there. ☺️

This place is such a great vibe to meet up with friends. Thank you so much Lana for you attentive service and you friendly energy. Will definitely come back!!

A local favourite. Cellar door prices on Mondays are brilliant.

Fantastic food , service and great place to meet. We had a wonderful time !

Had a long list of foods I am unable to eat - warned them beforehand and they gave me a list of everything I can have and how they can accommodate me. Food was really delicious.

The team at the Humble Grape made our evening absolutely amazing! The food, the wine, the atmosphere and the service were all excellent. Thank you!

Great experience having dinner with friends last night. The wine menu is fantastic and the food is just as good. Decor is nice and staff are polite and friendly

A fantastic birthday evening where the staff went the extra mile to make it special. They were attentive and kind. A drink on arrival and a desert on the house elevated the experience. The wine as you might expect was delicious but the food exceeded expectations and matched the quality. Also the perfect intimate atmosphere for a dinner for two. We will be visiting again!

Alexandro was a great host and helped us find the perfect wine match! Thank you very :)

Allesandro was an incredible waiter. Very attentive and happy to cater to whatever we needed! Will definitely be coming back! Thank you Allesandro! Wine was delicious!

Great venue, lovely vibes and Alessandro was a great host, thanks so much!

Great selection of wines, food was lovely. There was a good selection of vegetarian options too which I liked. Service was superb too

We’d only planned on stopping by to share a bottle of wine but were thrilled when the lovely staff also brought out some complimentary small plates. Very impressed with the service and atmosphere and I can highly recommend the food! Will definitely be back the next time I’m in London

Chill place with huge selection of wines and helpful, friendly service from Maria at the bar on Friday night late. They also have a few whiskey’s so not just wine. Love the lighting.

¡Increíble! Una noche perfecta con comida y vino increíbles. El personal super amable que sabía tanto sobre todos los vinos. Jean era nuestro camarero y era impresionante, gracias por la gran recomendación de vino.

So we stumbled in to this adorable little Wine Bar because it looks so cute, lights are not bright like some other places and the bartender Maria was so terrific, friendly and knowledgeable and a really pleasant experience. We will be back!

Alessandro and the Humble Grape team put together a beautiful wine tasting for 20 of us women who are part of my community called Untamed Sisters. We did a four part tasting which was fantastic, we learnt so much about each wine but Alessandro knew exactly when to keep it brief when we wanted to drink and keep chatting. Humble Grape created an excellent atmosphere and we will be doing another event very shortly. The food was exceptional as well! Thank you Alessandro and your team! Samantha, Founder Untamed Sisters

I had a great time at HG. The staff were friendly and spent time with us to help us choose our food and wines, even though the place was very busy. Highly recommended for a date-night!

Very decent food and wine, and great service!

I walked by Humble Grape as I was trying to find a restaurant for my last dinner in London. So glad I found Humble Grape! Delicious food (harissa chicken and crispy cauliflower) - delicious wine (Villa Melnik Bergule Rose) - and I loved the ambiance (I was sitting outside). Special shout out to Alessandro and Lotus who made me feel so welcome. Highly recommend if you are in the neighborhood!
