The best restaurants in Islington London

Just a short walk from the hotel we were staying in. White coffee was excellent and food was excellent. We had a baguette with bacon and toasted muffin with scrambled egg and smoked salmon. All perfectly cooked. If I’m back in the area I would definitely visit again.

These days, it’s rare to find a coffee shop that truly respects the craft of making high-quality coffee. Without a doubt, this place serves one of the best cappuccinos around!!! A special shoutout to Julia and Geizon for consistently delivering world-class coffee — every cup is a masterpiece. Oh, and let’s not forget the muffins… the blueberry one is absolutely unbeatable! Your boy Saliiiiiim ;)

Excellent British breakfast. It's an interesting option for having a breakfast around their neighborhood. The people there are very friendly and the place is very comfortable as well.

I wanted to go (april 2024) but the place is closed. The page hasn't been updated.

Excellent breakfast, friendly service! We were really hungry and zeroed in on The Terrace Cafe, close to our Airbnb. Ordered the Full English Breakfast and Terrace Breakfast. Full English comes with sausages, chips, beans, black pudding, eggs your style, mushroom and bacon. Black pudding was quite good, sausage was really good. Extremely filling breakfast. Terrace breakfast comes with hash brown, sundried tomatoes, eggs your style bacon, sausage, beans and mushrooms. This was quite filling too. Loved the hash browns. All items are made fresh upon order, and we were served within 10 minutes of ordering. Highly recommended!

Always friendly and great value

What a fab gem of a place. We had couple of cocktails each and these were excellent. We now have to come back when we are next in the area with more time to spare and to try their Mexican food. Great music, vibe, lovely chaps working the bar and overall a gem of a place. Unassuming to look at but super spot for a great evening out. Thanks for your honest hospitality guys!

Great food at reasonable prices, with very friendly service, and no background music!(Yay!) Tiramisu to die for! Great veggie option.

Excellent coffee and atmosphere and welcoming service. Limited range but tasty and good value food available. The best coffee shop in Bury.

Muy buen pub, ambiente agradable, diseño limpio clásico. La habitación de arriba da a la cocina pequeña y muy organizada donde ocurre la magia. La comida es deliciosa cocinada perfectamente y sabrosa. A pesar de que el pub estaba casi lleno, la comida llegó a los 20 minutos de pedir. Tuve un gran plato de abadejo con ñoquis perfectamente suaves, mejillones y guisantes en una deliciosa salsa cremosa de limón extra sabrosa, Realmente tuvimos un buen almuerzo uno de los mejores almuerzos de pub en años y volveremos.

Nos topamos con este encantador café y vino / bar de tapas en nuestro primer día en Londres. Recordaba mucho a los que hemos visitado en España. El propietario era muy cálido y acogedor. Nos encantaron nuestras aceitunas y la tabla de charcutería, pero el postre de natillas de limón estaba completamente fuera de la cadena! Es un lugar fabuloso para una bebida y un bocado ligero. ¡No te lo pierdas en Islington!

Gran café blanco plano. Servicio encantador. Linda pequeña cafetería bien preparada. Buen tostado con tomate mozzarella y albahaca

Wonderful English breakfast at reasonable price! The only problem was that on the menu it was written coffee was included in the breakfast price, but they made us pay separately for it. I give 4/5 to the location rather than 5/5 just because they kept the door open and it was a little bit too cold for me (march in London is not so hot to keep a door open, but it’s just a personal opinion!) Apart from this, everything was fine and I strongly recommend it!

Good food, but shockingly poor service — not kid-friendly We were hopeful given the menu, but the experience quickly soured. It took over 20 minutes (and a reminder) just to get menus. Staff then seemed irritated that we needed a few minutes to choose. The real issue came when our toddler accidentally bumped her head and started crying — instead of offering any understanding, we were abruptly asked to pay and leave, even though two of us hadn’t finished eating. This is clearly not a kid-friendly place. Disappointing, as the food was genuinely good. EDIT (following owners' response): I can confirm that I did visit your restaurant on the evening of 2nd May 2025. I understand this may not reflect your usual service or values, and perhaps it was an off day — but this was our experience, and it felt dismissive and uncomfortable, especially given we chose your place thinking a family-run business would be welcoming to young children. I hope future guests are treated with more care.

Amazing staff, lovely atmosphere, delicious food, AND REASONABLE PRICES!!
