The best restaurants in Barnsbury Islington London

Friendly staff, homely atmosphere and delicious battery cod. The fish was delicately cooked and retained its sweet subtle flavour. It’s the best fish I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend.

Aunt made a booking here on the most blisteringly cold evening, and boy was I glad she did. The owner (I assume) was helpful with taking us through the menu, and even warned me about leaving my phone on the table - "not safe!" I ordered the chicken tagine with rice and her the spicy lamb sausage with cous cous. We had the mint tea which was stuffed with fresh and dried mint leaves, perfect for digesting the meat heavy meal. Both dishes and tea were incredibly warming, satisfying and like a delicious hug on the inside. Prices were very affordable for Islington.

Tasty food and was popping hot to my mouth which was enjoyable. Considering food arrived early and I was happy it that it came early. Just sadden they didn’t give me no salad for the curry’s and rice. I also didn’t receive any sauces for poppdoms and had to it it dry. Although everything was to a good point.

What a traditional pub shaman, a smiling and professional service. The kitchen is very good. I can only recommend coming and spending some time in this wonderful place.

The best dish this side of the Thames, truly a one of a kind experience

The recent refurb was done very well, moving toilets upstairs with a soon to be open new kitchen installed. Can't wait to try the food. The same wonderfully friendly service from bar staff makes The Alma our first choice for drinks in Angel, schhhhh! Great, friendly service. Good selection of drinks, including alcohol free. Super friendly and chill staff. Planning on trying the food (Asian) soon!

Nice pub tucked away off Highbury and Islington. It has a charming interior, with plenty of decorative touches and overall just presents an old fashioned vibe. The service is nice enough, nothing to get too excited or familiar with, however, they have a good selection of beer on tap and do a good Guinness. Food wise, it’s operated by a different company within the pi , making it a slightly awkward arrangement, where the service staff from the restaurant being wholly unengaged. Although the food is good and the drinks are readily available, and I’d be happy to come back, I’m in no hurry to visit again.

great food, great signs and everyone was lovely!

ALWAYS worth the wait Don’t be discouraged-mushroom and spinach on toast is the best

Tom was amazing. Such warmth and friendliness. Big fans!

The food was super rich and delicious. The wine was very delicious! Feels like a small intimate setting- lots of big parties when we were there that really added to the family atmosphere

Great music venue, small and intimate with decent sound quality and a good pub downstairs. Will be back for more.

Great pub to watch the footy and a lovely Sunday roast too. Super friendly and helpful staff, especially the manager Pareece who helped me with a big group booking.

Great pub great food nearly didn’t go in as it looked a bit tired don’t judge a book by its cover it was lovely, perfect lunch and cocktails, only one member of staff doing an amazing job thanks

One of our favourite cafes to come to after classes. The staff is polite and knowledgable. Clearly have a passion for coffee! The filter coffee was delicious and the coffee beans were also available to buy.
