Salut! in Islington

Our first time at his lovely restaurant. I had veggie options and my husband meat and fish ones. It was absolutely great! The food was excellent and the service great too! We thanked the chefs in the kitchen at the end. A true find! We will certainly be coming back! £35 for 2 courses is not bad value for that level of cooking. Thoroughly recommended!

Starters of trout and steak tartare were nice but both a little bland looked very pretty on the plate though. Mains of rabbit and cod, rabbit's texture was a bit odd my wife reckoned it had had rather too long in a sous vide before it was cooked. Cod was very good. We shared a chocolate thing which was fine, not dark enough or rich enough for my taste and it came with a salted caramel ice cream which was almost tasteless. Everything was presented extremely carefully and prettilly and the service was excellent. With a bottle of the cheapest wine and two espressos the bill was £150 not really worth that much money in our opinion.

First visit to this lovely small restaurant and would highly recommend. It is a cosy restaurant, enhanced by the proximity of the open kitchen. The service was professional, at the same time warm and friendly. Staff handling of a food intolerance was exceptionally good. Beautiful presentation of all the dishes and everything we had from the menu was delicious and well executed. An interesting choice of both food and wine. A gem of a restaurant and although we do not live close by, we very much hope to return.

This is a delightful Islington restaurant at the bottom of the Essex Road. The ambience is warm and cozy and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The food was absolutely first class - the pea aspuma starter was a standout, but everything we had delicious and interesting without being pretentious. Heartily recommended and we'll be back again for more!

We were lucky enough to find Salut when visiting London with family; it was without doubt the best restaurant we have had the pleasure to eat in. The host was attentive, without bring intrusive, he brought a high level of professionalism with a good deal of humour. He made some recommendations which were very helpful to us, and explained what each dish was, so we knew exactly what to expect. The food itself was out of this world; we had mackerel, and also spring pea espuma for starters along with a bottle of wine. For our mains it was lamb rump; cooked to perfection and the pea and mint asparagus combo was brilliant. Dessert was also excellent; white chocolate mousse and poached rhubarb pavlova. All of us said that we'd definitely come again, likely with even more of us next time; well done to the Salut team, you made for an unforgettable evening.

A great experience ! Nice ambiance, great food and the service was excellent. We will return to this great place for sure. Highly recommended.

A thoughtfully composed menu of 5 starters 4 mains and 3 sweets and fizz cheese and focaccia made up the Xmas day lunch which clearly all the diners were relishing . Charming welcoming staff and empathetic chefs working harmoniously to produce a memorable meal. There was a complete lack of pretension or stuffiness and this small restaurant ran like clockwork. An interesting and wide ranging wine list for all choices of food. We will return. Long may this place on the Essex Road thrive.

Perfect intimate setting, the food was delicious especially the duck fat roast potatoes, probably the best I’ve ever eaten. Will definitely go back, great evening.

Lekker, vriendelijk, kleinschalig, gezellig. Klein restaurantje in Essex, met een heerlijke tartare, lekkere wijnen en vriendelijke bediening. De verwarming mocht wat warmer, maar dat stoorde niet

The dining experience was exceptional, particularly due to the exquisite scallop carpaccio and the delicious skate wing. The wine selection was impressive, and the service provided was flawless. I’m definitely planning to return without a doubt.

We had a great dinner there, the dishes were excellent and you can actually see the chef preparing the food. The manager/owner was super friendly as well. Highly recommend this restaurant.

This is a superb restaurant - good menu, excellent cooking and quality service. Can thoroughly recommend.

Exciting restaurant that fully met expectations. Located a little outside central London, but really worth the trip. We got four different starters and all were really exciting and good. For the main course, three of us had pork tenderloin and jaws - absolutely fantastic. The last of us had a lamb chop with a belly and anchovy porchetta, and one only very small complaint was that the lamb chop was a little chewy. The wine list is quite large for such a small place, and above all, it seems to be well selected, with interesting wines. The food is prepared in an open kitchen right next to the guests, and for those who sit so they can watch, it is interesting to follow along. The food is prepared in a very calm manner, no shouting. Overall noise level in the restaurant was fine, no problems having a conversation.

I had a superb birthday meal with my family. The food was excellent. The service was very good. The wines were of such a high quality. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant especially for a special occasion. I was not disappointed.

I had an incredible surprise birthday party held here. The Salut team were exceptional in hosting. I would highly recommend this restaurant - and want to thank the Salut team for such a great evening and special occasion.

Great food without being all master chef. Really enjoyed it. Both the starters and main were interesting and just very well executed. Deserts looked good but ha had enough by then

An old neighbourhood faithful with all you want from a restaurant that focusses on open cooking and great service. This time it was a work xmas lunch where they ably catered for 37 of us and everyone left very happy and delighted. Same time next year !

Salut ticked all the boxes for me and my group, the food was delicious (I recommend the pork belly), the team were so welcoming, the service was great and the restaurant had a lovely vibe. Get yourself down there!

The team at Salut! Is incredible and the food is delightful. A little gem in Islington that is great for any occasion big or small.

Great food and service all round at Salut. They created a bespoke menu with some excellent festive options - Couldn't have been happier. The staff were attentive and extremely accommodating. Well done Salut.

We had a lovely 3 course lunch in this boutique restaurant, the food was great but the friendly staff were the star of the night! thanks so much for making us have an incredible time

Amazing little gem in Highbury and Isligton! We had a 3 course lunch and all of them were very tasty, served perfectly and always with a special touch. The confit duck leg was cooked perfectly. On top, the staff was amazing! Helpful, nice, super accomodating and always with a smile. I really recommend this restaurant for groups, couples, friends or solo.

The organisation had booked the restaurant for the evening, so it was a private party. The food was equisite, albeit artisan. The experience was very pleasant, and the restaurant had a "quality" find about it. Genuinely enjoyed the meal and the ambiance. The focaccia bread...

Visited the restaurant on Valentine’s day and all I can say is waw! All the dishes were amazing, presentation awesome and service immaculate. Everyone was so kind and helpful and the food was one of the best I’ve ever had. Definitely going back. Keep it...

Dined her today for first day with a friend that lives locally. Was absolutely blown away by the flavours, presentation and ambience. Really cannot wait to return again, thank you to everyone for making today so enjoyable! 🥰

Ate off the 2/3 course set menu. Every dish was impeccable, served promptly without feeling rushed, presented and tasted amazing. Highly recommend a visit and cater very well to intolerances.

Excellent food (the cod was particularly good) with engaged and insightful service. Strong recommend. One of the best restaurants in the area.

I am so shocked that this place has so many good reviews, our experience was appalling from start to finish. First of all, the acoustics in the small room are really bad and we were sitting next to a large table of loud people who...

Great skill in the kitchen, lovely service, cool room - what’s not to like? Saturday late lunch in a group of 5, fantastic value for the quality of the food, presentation, overall vibe. Highly recommended, thank you Fabrizio & team.

I agree with Steve that this a really good find with excellent food. Although the restauarnt is not large, it feels open and airy. I chose the squid starter followed by the pork tenderloin, which were both really good. There is also an extensive wine...

Great food and great service! We love coming here and we will be back soon. Warm and friendly, and a cozy atmosphere.

The best Eurpoean restaurant I've been to in London. I highly recommend the duck but there were so many other great dishes that I haven't yet tried.

We ate at Salut last week for our anniversary. The staff were all really friendly & efficient. Our food was delicious but particularly the Sea Trout- it was exceptionally well cooked & the sauce amazing. We will be back

Salut agreed to let us take over the restaurant for the evening (not our first visit) and produced a delicious wedding dinner and kept all of us in excellent wines and food all evening. The staff could not have been more helpful or friendly and...

A gorgeous culinary experience. Every dish, curated to the tiniest detail, offers a beautiful and complex combination of flavours and textures. All for a very honest price. Recommended

We had a wonderful meal at Salut. Lovely service, beautiful food, a real gem of a place. Highly recommended, I will be returning. Also the lunch menu was stunning and very well priced

All four of us enjoyed the food immensly! Great service and wine list. It was second visit to the restaurant and ot was as good if not better as the first time.

It was my first dinner outside after a very very long time and I am glad that it was in Salut! Pretty atmosphere, fine menu, delicious food, very nice staff. I would recommend, %100 percent.

I've been waiting a long time to go to this restaurant and finally had the chance to enjoy a nice dinner at Salut. I simple loved the venue - small, intimate and having that open kitchen as part of the dinning area is just fantastic....

Salut saved our anniversary celebrations - a delicious 3-course meal at a very reasonable price. A wide selection was on offer with good vegetarian options. Delivery was right on time and all the food was piping hot. Everything was delicious, with good portion sizes -...

I wanted to thank Salut's team to make possible despite covid to have a superb meal deliver for new year eve. I was sceptical to order this type of quality restaurant on delivery at first, but it was delicious and definitely worthwile. We will order...

A big shout out to Salut! for cooking & delivering our NYE dinner-at-home. Great menu choices for all of us (some being more fussy than others!), great communication from the moment of ordering to confirmation, and (most importantly!) delicious food, all really easy to plate...

My parents wanted to treat my partner and I to a special meal during lockdown, and Salut absoluetly hit the mark! I have some food sensitivities (so not the easiest customer!), but my mum found them very helpful and considerate. The food was a bit...

Second time ordering from Salut!’s lockdown takeaway menu. ‘Takeaway’ doesn’t quite do it justice: the food is absolutely exceptional and it is as close to the real restaurant experience as you can get at the moment. Very easy to order, collect and then prepare. Will...

It's some time since we visited Salut! so we were delighted to find their standard is as high as we remembered. We particularly enjoyed the melt-in-the-mouth pork with the beautifully glazed top, there were no complaints. Ordering and pickup were simple, we shall treat ourselves...

I'd only visited the restaurant once before - this summer, when I had an exceptional meal - so I was delighted to learn that they now delivered, too. The quality was just as good as I'd remembered. It may not be cheap but it's certainly...

Salut is doing a really great job at maintaining its restaurant-quality flavour and deliciousness in a lockdown menu and takeaway service. I highly recommend this as a break from mediocre takeaway or cooking for yourself - and you get to do your bit in helping...

It was a lovely treat to be able to enjoy high-quality restaurant food at home. We ordered three courses for 2 people. The short-rib was standout, the steak tartare and the desserts (panacotta and tiramisu) were delicious. It isn't cheap but I thought it was...

Obviously there was no ambiance due to staying at home, but delivery was good, on time, no problem. Our 3 course set menu (3 choices) was delicious, and we thought very good value for money. We will do it again ...

Pleasant place and wonderful to watch the well trained chef in action - he certainly gives the impression he knows his trade. Chicken liver pâté the best I’ve ever eaten but the rest of the dishes were very good but not top class and the...

Salut! never fails to serve incredible food. It is so, so good. The food is delicious and inventive, the staff are attentive without being overwhelming. It is a perfect restaurant. Never before has a restaurant I visited come up in conversation so much, bit I...

I love Salut. Their food is consistently excellent - every dish is prepared with care, the food is always fresh and the balance of flavours is great. The cosy atmosphere is lovely (ideal for a romantic dinner or a small group of friends) and watching...

So.. its not often I review a restaurant but after seeing this one continuing the 'Eat Out/Help Out' scheme into September, it being right on my doorstep and hearing nice things - we tried it out. It just vastly overpriced for what you get! We...

Our first visit to Salut! (August 2020) and we had a wonderful time. Staff were helpful, professional and very mindful of social distancing. Three course dinner with wine was outstanding: fresh, seasonal and delicious. The kind of local hospitality business you'd want to see thrive.

We had a perfect evening at Salut for a 30th birthday dinner with a group of 16 people. Martin and team were extremely hospitable, looked after us in every way and nothing was too difficult an ask, even though the evening was organised at short...

The food was very good, perfectly cooked. The staff was brilliant. We enjoyed our diner on the terrasse, very recommanded!

I have enjoyed several meals in Salut! Everyone so far a winner. Nothing is too much for Martin and his team. Chef is able to deal with my dietary intolerances without impacting flavour or presentation. I would recommend Salut! for either a casual get together...

This was our second time to Salut. Imaginative and beautifully presented food (but not trying too hard to impress). Really friendly service. We'll be going there again.

We live locally and always really enjoy dinner at Salut! This evening was no different: excellent, meticulously prepared food; good choice of wine (French, of course); and personable, friendly service that made us feel at home.

The food was insane! The service was wonderful. Everyone was so nice. Wine was delish. Super safe. Can’t recommend enough x

Ate here with a friend one Saturday lunchtime having heard great things and very much lived up to expectations. Friendly service and absolutely fantastic food! Will be back.

Really accommodating for lunch with a friend plus my baby. Food was delicious and they cooked it how we asked for it. Good service.

I've had the pleasure of dining at Salut several times at lunch time and it has always been a delicious meal with unusual ingredients. The service is just as wonderful as the food, in fact, everything about Salut is highly recommended. I look forward to...

My partner and I chose to dine at Salut for our first post lockdown dinner. We had such a lovely evening and thoroughly enjoyed everything from the warm and welcoming staff to the incredibly stunning food. I can't recommend Salut enough, the perfect venue for...

We really enjoyed our lockdown home delivery meal which our son bought us for our wedding anniversary. A good memory from lockdown. Good value

We’ve started ordering weekly we love it so! Service brilliant and food just the perfect mix between something special and excellent quality / moneys worth!!

Fantastic lockdown meal delivered to your door. Well presented, well packaged, clear instructions and tasty meal! Almost as good as dining in the restaurant. Would happily do it again.

Salut! is one of our favourite restaurants so we ordered from there on what should have been our wedding day. The three course meal was exactly what we needed - such delicious and special food and reasonably priced. The food worked surprisingly well at home...

We ordered from Salut! to celebrate what would have been our wedding. The food was delicious and really well priced. We found that it was still quite hot from the kitchen and didn't need warming up, will definitely be ordering from them again!

The meal was great. Excellently prepared, presented and very delicious. We have no complaints. Obviously it was a take away and therefore not a fresh as if prepared on site and it had to be eaten faster than in a restaurant so as no to...

Top quality three course dinner at a great price. Very easy to order, collect and serve. Would highly recommend and will be ordering again.

I love Salut! and was thrilled to see that they could deliver. I had passed the 11am booking slot but phoned them and they were super helpful in squeezing my order in. Delicious as ever with a good selection of wines :)

Absolutely loved our 3 course dinner delivered by Salut. Each course was beautifully presented and tasted delicious - made such a nice change from cooking at home or average takeaways! The team was also great at communicating and the instructions for the food were very...

This is the third time we’ve enjoyed the Delights of Salut home delivery. Each meal has been of great quality, simply delicious, beautifully prepared and easy to transfer that restaurant look to the home plate. We’ve loved eating here a few times over the years...

Excellent dinner from Salut - so nice to have proper restaurant style cooking at home at the moment and a big step up in quality from other takeaway options. Very fair pricing for 3 courses as the portions are generous. We picked up our food...

We had an amazing 3 course dinner from Salut! which we can fully recommend to anyone looking for a special and non ordinary treat-yourself-at-home dinner. The service was very accommodating, being in contact announcing the arrival of the dinner and giving exact instructions. The food...

My partner and I decided to order in from Salut during Covid lockdown and it was absolutely delicious. We plated it and matched with a nice bottle of wine and it was almost like we were at the restaurant :) Food was delicious and fresh,...

Just tried Salut’s new takeaway three course meal during lockdown and it was absolutely great. Mains were perfectly cooked, even the fish. Beautifully presented and a great way to overcome lockdown blues!

As a number of other reviewers have remarked, I don't know how they manage to do it so well, but Salut does! Easy to order, arrives on time and clearly straight from the kitchen, all beautifully presented. I just pop the mains in a warm...

We know Salut is a great little restaurant so we ordered online as a lockdown treat given we should have been on holiday. Salut didn't disappoint. The order process was easy and we were sent instructions on reheating the mains the day before. The food...

I ordered the three course menu for my husband’s birthday and was really impressed. It’s challenging to produce high quality takeaways, but this really was beautiful, delicious food that was delivered to our doorstep and made our evening celebration feel extra special. I would highly...

We arranged a three-course meal for my partner's birthday, and the team was easy to coordinate with, were very responsive and organised and the dinner went off without a hitch. The food was excellent and creative, and despite it being delivered, was designed to be...

Perfect logistics and we enjoyed an elaborate 3 course dinner at home for a special occasion. Very good value too

3-course meal with a little heating required for the main. The packaging and instructions were great - everything was straight forward and tasted great, makes you feel like a chef. The food was great, equally as good at home as previous visits to the restaurant....

I've been to this place before and it was an amazing food experience. Mouthwatering plates and a nice staff. I've ordered home yesterday and I thought it wouldn't be as good as eating inside the restaurant, but I was wrong. It was delicious. Thanks!

Good value very tasty and enjoyable .Will certainly order again.Well organised and excellent menu. Prompt delivery as requested.

Absolutely gorgeous. Starters were incredible, and mains beautiful. We both had the slow cooked beef rib and following the instructions of 5 minutes in the oven, they came out perfect. Good value and amazing food..a lovely and much needed treat after a long week working...

Salut! did us proud. Everything arrived on time and was delicious. We had a wonderful evening. Thank you so much.

Salut are now delivering a wonderful three course dinner on Saturdays. All very good, but the duck was fantastic. Check out their website for how to order. It is all very efficient and friendly. I've never actually eaten in the restaurant and we are looking...

I wanted to say a big thank you to Salut for making such a wonderful meal for us last week. The food was absolutely delicious – Salut even had my wife loving the cabbage in her main course, something I never thought was possible! Normally...

We were treated to a takeaway dinner menu last night & were amazed at the quality & bursts of flavour delivered to our door. My starter (cauliflower with truffle), main (coley fillet) & sweet (rhubarb crumble) were consistently excellent & reminded me why we used...

Salut is my favourite restaurant in London and so I was missing it greatly during this situation but we ordered their 3-course meal and it did not disappoint! We had the tomato salad, beef cheek bourguignon and tiramisu & cheese platter. It was so delicious,...

I had Salut's 3 course set takeaway menu to celebrate my birthday (during lock down) and it was an absolute treat! The food was delicious (Heirloom Tomato Salad / Beef Cheek Bourguignon / English Pavlova) and very reasonably priced. Also worth noting that the menu...

What a treat! 3 course menu delivered to you (or you can safely collect). Wonderful food. Absolute treat. Very reasonable price. And feel utterly safe that they are preparing and delivering food safely. Recommend! Keep independent business going.

Salut has been one of our favourites for dining out since we discovered it 2 years ago. When "lockdown" happened we genuinely feared for its existence but Martin and the team have totally reinvented themselves in the best possible way but offering the same quality...

We had a Salut takeaway lastnight to celebrate my husband’s (locked down) birthday, and it was absolutely amazing! With beetroot and asparagus to start, a gorgeous pea veloute with a poached egg, 2 x pork belly with the most amazing side of broccoli, finished with...

We got an absolutely delicious take away (they also deliver locally) from salut this weekend, nearly as good as eating in the restaurant and a lovely change from home cooking. Highly recommended. We had gorgeous beetroot and asparagus starters, crispy pork belly and beautiful fish,...

Salut has always been a wonderful local restaurant, that we go to when we feel like treating ourselves, so we were very excited to hear that they’re doing takeaway during lockdown. The quality and presentation of the food was excellent! It was like being in...

Our takeaway meal was superb. The food was delightful and perfectly cooked and presented. The packages were perfect for the delivery. A lovely text about how to store your main whilst enjoying your first course was a great touch. Can’t praise salut enough absolutely brilliant....

We had a great meal delivered yesterday.Pulled pork terrine and belly of pork excellent ! Second takeaway meal we have had during lockdown. Very efficient process. 45th Wedding anniversary and 70th birthday now celebrated in style !
