Mr LoBo in Islington

While exploring restaurants in the area we came across this incredible place… food, ambience, and especially the service were super b. If you like Peruvian food or new to it you should definitely come to visit Mr Lobo, this will leave you satisfied and happy!

Fantastisk Peruiansk oplevelse! Meget gæstfri personale og opmærksomme, meget meget lækker og smagsfuld mad! Vi var 2 personer som delte 4 retter med en skøn flaske malbec vin, og begyndte med en skøn cocktail Pisco Sour! Skal helt klart besøge denne restaurent igen! Kan varmt anbefale dette sted. LWS

Posting below preview by my son who like us adores this restaurant. Me and my family had a meal at Mr Lobo's. The food was some of the best I have ever tried. The staff are very pleasant, and the Peruvian music adds to the great armosphere. I would highly recommend going to Mr Lobo's as in my opinion, it's brilliant! 😃 Evan

Lugar muy acogedor, con encanto. Te hacen sentirte en casa, con mucha familiaridad y amabilidad en el trato. La comida muy eleborada, de excelente calidad

Such a fantastic place. Great quality food and lovely people. Atmosphere is very good , nice music and easy to communicate

We dined at Mr Lobo with a group of 11 and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was inviting, and all the staff efficiently handled our large party. The menu offered a great variety of delicious dishes and wines at an exceptional value - Ceviche, Lomo Saltado and Anticucho Ox heart- making it a fantastic choice for groups. Service was attentive and friendly, adding to our lovely night. I highly recommend it for quality dining and great prices, especially for larger parties.

Booked this based on other peoples excellent reviews. They were justified. Interesting variety of small and some not so small plates. Fish, meat and vegan/vegetarian dishes couldnt be faulted. Never tried ox heart or octopus before, but these were super tender and flavorsome. The vegan saltado was deliciously smokey. Presentation of everything beautiful. Owner and waiting staff provided exemplary service.

Mr Lobo is a fantastic restaurant - great flavours and great drinks. The food is so flavourful and tasty! They are welcoming and the customer service is brilliant. Highly recommend!

Carefully decorated inviting space, with immaculate cleaning standards. The food was special- fresh, healthy and tasty and fulfilling. Very nice athmosphere and lighting and furnishings. Miguel and his staff were genuinely friendly, I will return often

Absolutely delighted (and relived) that my besties loved this place as much as I do. It was bit of a gamble for my choice of venue for our regular get together as a few were unfamiliar with Peruvian food. It was a triumph and will become a regular haunt. It’s friendly and fun and the food is superb.

I had the pleasure of trying this place out, on recommendation from a friend, and it was great, tried several dishes on the menu, all of which were fantastic as was the atmosphere and service. GC

Aileen and me, looking for a nice bite before a gig in Islington, saw Mr LoBo was located right opposite the venue and thought "Peru. Something different..." Glad we did - absolute result. If we're honest, most eateries deliver what-it-says-on-the-tin and that's absolutely fine. Mr LoBo, however, over-delivers across the board. The food is seriously delicious, the ambiance in the restaurant is elegant and welcoming at the same time and by the time the bill came around, we were quite sad to be leaving a service team that had us thinking we'd just dined at a good friend's place. Big shout to Katja and her team for being so seriously nice. If you're looking for a special dining experience in Islington, Mr LoBo will see you right.

Lovely restaurant. Exceptionally friendly staff. Food was amazing - fresh and tasty. Incanto cocktails were fab. Would 100 percent recommend.

Such a lovely welcoming place. The lady that served us was so friendly and helpful from start to finish. The food was presented really well and tasted amazing. My boyfriend and I shared 4 plates and when we were still hungry, the lady in charge suggested another dish that we wouldn't have normally gone for. It was the best one we had, the flavours worked so well together. We couldn't fault a single thing. The cocktails were really tasty too. We will definitely be back if we're ever in the area again.

Great looking place. The customer service was exceptional from beginning to end. We order from The vegetarian menu and all dishes were tasty and beautifully presented. The veg skewers were the absolute favourite. Thank you for a love experience, we will be back

From the warm greeting and the exceptional attention from our host, to the delicious cocktail (Incanto) and food, it was an unexpected WOW. We were advised that dishes were to share and to choose 3 or 4. Some we didn't want to share but here's what we ordered for the table. Beef Skewers, Pork Belly, Chicken Pollada, Salmon Sashimi, Salmon Tartare, Sea Bass and Alfajores for dessert. I can't vouch for the Pork as I'm not a fan but everything else was incredible!

We came across Mr Lobo when walking past by chance. It looked lovely and cosy from the outside and we were lucky enough to get a table. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the food was amazing, we tried dishes we had never had before but loved it all and are already planning to return next time we are in the area. I would highly recommend for both great drinks and really good quality, tasty food.

Fantastic meal and service . Amazing cocktails . Attentive staff - especially Mrs Lobo ! Went for a friends birthday . We all loved it Totally recommend

We came to Mr Lobo last night for the first time - a table of 9 celebrating two big birthdays. As we sat down the manager let us know immediately that the kitchen was two people down as one of the chefs had had a severe allergic reaction - she was just telling us there might be a slight wait on food, this communication was brilliant. We did not have to wait for food or drinks, the quality of both was just amazing. We left feeling full and delighted having just had a delicious meal. 100000% will be coming back!

Best restaurant in angel for sure! I was skeptical that a restaurant could be rated 5 stars on Google. However, the food is to die for, drinks were amazing,the hosts are lovely people who are clearly passionate about what experience you have at the restaurant...

An excellent and totally authentic Peruvian Gem! Have made several return visits this year. Highlights include Ceviche (of course), Pork Belly, and Ox Tongue. Great location and helpful, friendly service. Writing this review has made us want to go back this week! Dont miss this...

Such amazing food! So fresh and great choices! Absolutely loved everything we ordered! Just delicious and loved the cocktails! Really lovely owners, they couldn’t have done more!

Superb food, the best Peruvian food I’ve tried outside of Peru (and I’ve tried a lot). Highly recommended.

The restaurant is AMAZING! The food was so fresh and just outstanding. We tried las causas, ceviche, lomo saltado and anticuchos. It was all wonderful. Go and try their food. You won’t regret it!

We loved Mr LoBo. The food is delicious, (the ceviche is the best I have ever had), and the people who own/run it are lovely. We enjoyed it so much we booked again and we were only there 5 days ago!

It's a pleasure for me to write a fantastic review when a restaurant hits all the right notes, and Mr LoBo is one of those places. Despite having opened only a few months ago, they are working like a well-oiled machine while maintaining a charisma...

Very hospitable and fabulous food A relaxing and enjoyable place to dine with friends Will go again

excellent food! the fish was super fresh and the taste of the ceviche is like trying one in the main country. Highly recomended

Could not be more impressed! The food is beautifully cooked and presented, an impressive Peruvian menu with a twist in a stunning restaurant. Will be coming back and have already sent family in to try the food.

THE best mock mojito I have ever tasted. It was greatly appreciated as I’m doing a dry July. I’ didn’t miss the alcohol in the least. Delicious food that is so much more interesting than the plethora of Mediterranean places on Upper Street. You’re not...

Absolutely faultless! Outstanding food and drinks. Gorgeous atmosphere. Stef let us leave our luggage there whilst we went to. Concert opposite. Above and beyond service that you don’t get on many places now.

Fantastic venue for drinks ! Cosmopolitans are excellent and the I recommend the window chairs for enjoyment! Lovely, highly recommend!

The most amazing food, had such a wonderful time with lovely hosts & interesting traditional dishes that I’d never tried before. The mussels & pork belly were particularly good. Would definitely recommend :)

Mr LoBo provides Peruvian food which has a unique blend of indigenous, Spanish, African, and Asian influences. It's known for its diverse flavors, spices, and fresh ingredients. Some popular dishes include chicken polleda, lomo saltado and cassava Fries. The cuisine also features a variety of...

I would like to start with saying that I hardly ever make reviews, however this time I feel like Mr Lobo deserve it and it would not be fair if I didn’t say few things about my experience. Until now I have visited 3 times,...

Amazing taste of Peruvian food, I feel like home ,the pastry included a vegan options and truly recommended to everyone visit Mr Lobo, the authenticity ceviche And tiraditos,

Food tasted amazing, especially the fish in the ceviche dish which was super fresh. The pisco cocktails are a must try as well. Owners are incredibly welcoming and decent people. Highly recommended for those looking to try Peruvian food for the first time!

This is a great restaurant to go to in the heart of Highbury & Islington. Really delicious food and a whole range of different Peruvian foods to try that are really tasty. The service was fantastic and very personal, would definitely recommend!

Fantastic food! lovely atmosphere and great cocktails. warm welcome and very personalised service. It felt like home. Always kept our glasses full!

Great venue. Food and drinks selection first class. Miguel, Katia and the team are excellent hosts. A must place to go and you will keep going back, I have. 5 stars isn't enough should be 10.

I sampled several fantastic dishes from the menu and it was all brilliant. The services was also great and the cocktails immense. My personal favourite was the grilled Ox heart with chimchurri and I would recommend it to everyone.

We went for a peruvian tasting menu experience with work and it blew me away! Every dish that came out was 10/10 and even their own deisgn incanto cocktail was incredible! I will definitely be coming back and recommend you go to try it for...

What a great new addition to Upper Street! I pooped in and sampled both the salmon and octopus tiraditos, The fish was of the finest quality and the seasoning was delicate and delicious. The staff are really friendly and clearly very proud of what they...

New Peruvian restaurant on Upper Street. We had a great dinner - tasty food, good veggie/vegan options, nice cocktails and really friendly service. Lovely decor and you can pop in just for some drinks as well. Good place for a date night! We will be...
