The atmosphere is very rustic, especially if you have special private round tables. If you're on the hunt for a new dining spot, I'd highly recommend giving this place a try! In my opinion, the food is decent and worth the price. But what sets this restaurant apart is the unique ambience - it's the perfect spot for a memorable dinner date. Just be sure to plan and make a reservation, otherwise, you may find yourself waiting outside for quite some time. 😉

DON'T GO HERE IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES! I normally like dining at La Mercury but something happened yesterday which is simply not good enough. For context, I have a severe nut allergy. I ordered the baked goat's cheese for my starter and nowhere on the menu did it say that it contained almonds. When it arrived it had almonds sprinkled on top so naturally I notified the waitress about my allergy, told her that there was no mention of almonds on the menu and asked if they could remake the dish for me. When they returned with the new dish, I was still cautious and double checked with the waitress that it didn't contact any almonds. She took it back to the kitchen and reassured me. I took a bite and noticed that they just scraped the almonds off of the top of the dish and there were still almonds under the goats cheese. Luckily I must have not ate any of the almonds in that first bite but this is simply not good enough. If you're going to be serving food - you need to be cautious of customer's allergies. This is a standard in the dining industry!

I am deeply troubled by the treatment my mum and I received at this restaurant.We were turned away upon arrival, with the excuse of being fully booked despite there being several empty seats. This excuse crumbled when we called again to inquire, only to be met with the revelation that they could indeed seat a party of six. The inconsistency and apparent dishonesty in their practices raise serious concerns about their integrity. I wonder if our inquiries about seating were met with discrimination, especially given the empty restaurant and the fact that we are black, my mother is disabled and I was with my baby. Such behavior is unacceptable and reflects poorly on the establishment's values. I urge others to consider whether they want to support a business that may engage in discriminatory practices.

Firstly whilst I am giving 4 stars as average rating, I highly recommend this place for the value for money. Where do you find these days a place where the starter is less than £5, and main course under £14, and you get full and classic French and done properly? The place is a bit quirky and not the most fanciest of the place, but it definitely is a good place to eat good French. I’d say I’d preferred duck to be med rare and steak tartare to be more spicy, but otherwise the food was perfect.

It's not the same as a few years ago .. this time the manager was a bit rude to us wanting us to pay for some people that didn't show up and then when we ordered starters some people got three king prawns and some others got 4 and 5 ....it should be the same all around ...the main course meal tasted great but some of us had cold meat etc

I booked this place in November to celebrate Christmas day in December. However, a week before Christmas, I received an email saying that my booking was cancelled. I called the restaurant and a rude person said I needed to pay a deposit to secure my table. I said I would pay, but he said I should do this over the phone, which is a bit dodgy considering that I booked this restaurant via their website. So I decided to check their website and the booking confirmation email and… they didn’t say anything about a deposit. I wouldn’t pay paying a deposit if this was explicitly said since the initial booking. Now it just feels like a scam. Definitely will not recommend this place to anyone as they seem to have a poor costumer service

I have been here a couple of times in the past and had found this place offered reasonably priced food. I don’t think anything stood out for me. I’m my recent outing, the food also feel a bit lacklustre. It might be partly due to the fact that my friends organised to have our Christmas meal here and we chose from the Christmas menu - which wasn’t particularly French. The crab starter was decent, but I was disappointed with the cheese plate.

I was so pleasantly surprised to see this restaurant still open around 5 years after I last visited. Not only is it still open, but the quality, service and ambience are just how I remember them — perhaps even better! There aren’t many places I can say the same about. It’s an amazing option for dinner, with so many food options and a great wine list, and exceptionally priced. Looking forward to visiting again soon!

This neighborhood French restaurant is definitely deserving of your time. Candle lit and intimate, you get the impression not much has changed in 20 years. A very drinkable house red. We had the roast poussin (delish) followed by the best creme brulé I've ever had. Prices are very good too. Only thing I could fault them on is the toilets could do with a spruce up.

Jeepers, this place took me back in time. I used to frequent this joint over a decade ago, when you used to be able to smoke indoors. Thought I'd pay them a visit for old times' sake - I wasn't let down. It was heaving, a lot of ppl during the 1930hrs booking, but we were eventually seated after loitering briefly by the door. We were sat upstairs, pressure relief to the congested ground floor. What followed on was excellent service combined with great food. All in all, a wonderful experience, and a truly worthwhile trip up from South London.

Had my birthday party here last night and had a really excellent time! Even though there were 25 of us, the food came out really quickly and was absolutely delicious - everyone rated it really highly. We did the party offer that was £16.80 for three courses and the portions were huge! Great atmosphere in the upstairs room and service from Vlada was brilliant - she almost single-handedly took care of us all night, was incredibly friendly and helpful, and always had a smile on her face!

Excellent place! We found this little nook very spontaneously but it was such a treat. Went there with a friend and the interiors were so cozy yet stunning. We got sat right by the window and and the service was really lovely. We ordered four starters that included one with prawns, the camembert, the goats cheese and the aubergine one and they all tasted amazing. the bread they served went very well with our food and some delicious wine! all of that came to about £28. overall was a great experience! suitable for more intimate dinners rather than big groups as the restaurant is quite on the smaller side.

Food is better than the interior - this restaurant needs to close and spend money on interior redecoration- looks extremely tired- toilets are pretty horrible and paintwork, walls and the overall ‘finish’ can only be replaced. Food was surprisingly good compared to decor- and service was good (friendly and efficient), but the physical space lets it down. Sadly makes me question cleanliness of the whole place… Also VERY inaccessible for anyone with mobility issues.

Set in the heart of Islington, Le Mercury is a culinary institution. From funny and entertaining decor to rich and tasty food, it has it all. The staff were welcoming and pleasant, providing excellent service, despite being a small team. The menu has a lot to offer in terms of options. We had the prawns and ravioli for starters, which were delightful. The steak was the main course of the night but, despite being enjoyable, was rather chewy and fatty. This is my only criticism of the experience and the one aspect preventing me from giving 5 stars. The crème brûlée and cheese board for dessert were a lovely sharing combo. Overall it was a splendid night with a warm, cosy vibe. I will certainly be returning.

Dined (if you can call it dining) with my partner and had a dreadful experience!! Upon arrival the waitress was cold and difficult about our booking. We placed our order but when the food arrived and we started to eat, it was raw and under cooked to the point that the waitress commented about it before we even said anything. Despite this, they still tried to charge full price!! The decor was poor! We sat in an unfinished booth with screws, bolts and brackets were fully exposed. The seats were dirty, the walls were dirty and the toilets had no soap!! Neither health and safety nor hygiene was high on the agenda I would not recommend this restaurant.

3 courses with wine for £35pp. Very reasonable. The food is well presented but I felt the overall taste and composition of dishes was a little lacklustre. I've been a few times and felt the same but for the price in the area it's a decent and easy dinner spot. If higher-end French french fare is your aim, it's not currently offering this but it still has a charm.

I used to visit quite often when I lived nearby and always loved the unpretentious atmosphere and (great value) classic French food. Having not been for over 10 years, my wife and I visited recently and were very pleased that little has changed in the meantime. Friendly, fast service and a small menu of bistro classics (which hasn't really changed, a good sign) made for a really enjoyable dinner. I ordered the pork belly again, and the unctuousness never fails to please! Very reasonably priced and always full, I recommend it.

We had beef main course which was delicious, apple tart and ice cream for pudding which was fine and after spying the starter we could have had being eaten at the next table I would go for that next time. More choice of soft drinks would have been welcomed but overall I would return for the good service, good value food and nice atmosphere.

We wanted to have a pre-Valentines romantic meal and what better than a brasserie style French restaurant. Le Mercury is a lovely cosy restaurant and at night all tables are candle lit. We had three courses but did not use the prix-fixed menus. For starters we had the Pan Fried Tiger Prawns and the Crushed Avocado, we really like the portion sizes and it definitely great value for money since all starters are £4.90 (apart from the specials at £7.50). Both of the starters were great, amazing flavours and they looked amazing (still thinking about those prawns😍), also appreciated the basket of bread to accompany our starters. The mains however were rather disappointing in comparison, we ordered the Ribeye Steak and the Roast Duck. The steak was lacking flavour but the pepper corn sauce saved the dish. The duck was really dry and sadly the sauce couldn’t save it. When we moved onto the deserts our expectations were quite low, however they picked it back up. We had the Crème Brulé and the Dark Chocolate Tart, these dishes really saved the night. For drinks we had two Margaritas and two 50ml of Bailey’s. Overall, we had a great time and judge off how good the starters and deserts were, I think they just had an off day with the mains but we’ll definitely be willing to come for those starters and desserts again!

We were 2 couples, we booked for Saturday night,  I went back to because I heard their menu was revamped. The taste was amazing. The service restaurant was packed today as there were was a promp going on.  The suya meat was delicious but spicy. I had the grilled fish and attack, please try this menu. The season on the fish is so african. The atake was a bit bland for me but the sauce was good. I will come back to try the other foods.

Quirky setting. Lovely staff. The food and the wine was just exquisite. I was lucky to get in on the second night as I it was fully booked the first night. See the pictures.

Really one of the best places to eat grilled meat that I have ever tried: I took a fillet, really excellent quality and a special mention to the cooking, really perfect. Discreet selection of beers, and they have new cocktails made from african gins and spirits and local drinks. The staff are quite good. I love afrobeats and the music was great this time.

My wife had been away working and flown in on an early morning flight so was exhausted. So for two reasons we went for Sunday lunch (12 Feb 2023): one- I had missed her and two -there is no way I or her were cooking on this day. So off to Le Mercury we trundled, (it has been open for 30 years so clearly they know what they are doing with French cooking and service), we arrived around 1pm to and empty restaurant? We were eating Sunday lunch early in Upper street, btt we left at around 3pm ever table was taken. Look we had a great meal: super service, great food, lovely house red, the only downer was the very lack lustre cheese board but hey, you can't have everything! We have starters, mains, a shared cheese board, two bottles of wine and brandy coffees, we were there for two hours and was great value....we have a super afternoon catching up and laughing... excellent 👌

Good food but a bit too much singing. Keep the opera singing - great + but less of it. Pasta starter great. V good value, fabulous atmosphere. Smell in toilets - the worst ever - drains oh my goodness. Get a plumber in!!

We were too exhausted to find another job place to eat dinner so we decided to just go to the hotel restaurant. They had the early dinner special for £11.95 for two course meal per person. The meal was great but service was slow especially since we were the only ones there.

Brasserie On Upper Streetlocation-icon170 Upper StreetFrench

Hemos comido en este restaurante durante muchos años y últimamente durante los últimos meses las patatas fritas y los calamares son simplemente asquerosos. Cada vez seguimos preguntando al personal si había un chef diferente en la cocina y cada vez que la respuesta era "no, siempre es lo mismo". El domingo pasado por la tarde, 11/8 20019, personalmente me molesté mucho y me sentí tratado como un perro, ya que mis patatas fritas estaban muy mal cocinadas y los calamares también. Las papas fritas en este lugar siempre han sido de una calidad congelada muy mala y, además, imagínense si se sirven duramente y demasiado cocidas (y cada vez es exactamente el caso). Simplemente no puedo describir los calamares es simplemente horrible e inaceptable. Simplemente no sabemos por qué este restaurante está perdiendo lentamente la buena calidad que una vez conocimos. ¡Es muy triste!

Wonderful celebratory meal in fabulous setting. We were slightly shocked to find a nearly packed restaurant at 6.00pm on Wednesday but after the meal we realised why. This is an absolute find. The food is visually exciting, it tastes wonderful and when your eyes roam from the plate and your lovely partner, the setting is beautiful. Highlighted by the brilliant staff who are very cheerful, attentive and professional and dressed in clothing which are also works of art.

Abbiamo approfittato di questo ristorante durante il nostro soggiorno presso l‘Hotel. Il servizio è stato veloce e gradevole. Il ragazzo che prendeva le ordinazioni, Ayman, é stato gentilissimo e super disponibile!! Assolutamente top in quello che fa, meriterebbe sicuramente una posizione più alta!! Un po’ meno professionale il suo collega (penso fosse il supervisor/manager) che ci ha servito l’acqua mentre guardava e parlava con altra gente seduta in un altro tavolo non considerandoci minimamente. Per il resto ambiente tranquillo e pietanze buone.
