The best restaurants in Highbury East Islington London

I have been using 129 HRD for a couple of seasons now . It is a great stopping point between Highbury and Islington Station and the Emirates Stadium . I have been there for both lunch and dinner and sometimes just for a quick drink after the game . The food is of a good standard and fairly priced - and they have a decent selection of wines . But the place is made by the service and the warm welcome by the manager and his team . Thank you !

This is a very nice casual local eatery on Highbury Corner. Our last visit followed a dog walk in Highbury Fields. We shared the halloumi fries which were great and then I had the beef taco and OH had the kebab. Everything was really tasty. A handy spot that provides good value,

Amazing food and lovely place. Chicken was gorgeous, generous portions. We’ve already been twice in the last week since we discovered it!

The best coffee I have had since being back in England and I’ve been living off great coffee in Greece!! Thank you for the pleasant welcome I haven’t stopped thinking about it. Wish I lived closer!! Keep doing what you doing. Also love the dog biscuits!!!

Fantastic flavours, very clean restaurant and welcoming staff. Having tried several Ethiopian places in London, this is the most consistent for both vegan and meat dishes. Service is not added to the bill but bring cash if you want to tip.

My go-to place for delicious artisan coffee and sublime patisseries....and their Edit of French products is excellent! Staff so smiling and kind, the owner often there and similarly approachable and full of good advice. He's created an atmosphere that feels so homely. I have to forbid myself to go else I puff up myself! But my team at work loves it when we have a special event to celebrate and I bring in the croissants, pain au chocolat and even better, croque-monsieurs!!!! Stay away if you can't handle temptation!!!

Fantastic experience here. Lovely staff, high quality food and nice family environment

Excellent food and coffee. Best coffee we had in London.

Recommended. Found it online looking for a pre-Garage venue, very pleased I did. Great restaurant, Japanese classics (Sushi, sashimi, tempura) done very well and competitively priced. Hostess (owner?) was extremely hospitable. Can park outside after 7pm. A very enjoyable experience.

Becoming one of my favourite restaurants, the mains are great but the starters are outstanding. If you like sweet chili I recommend the spare ribs.

Very cosy place with a great brunch menu and great service.

Gin tasting - the beautiful Edith was informative knowledgeable funny and entertaining - excellent gin tasting experience could have carried on socialising with this gorgeous girl - amazing experience fabulous

Perfect weekend brunch spot. We visited for the first time today and have found a new favourite place. I had the creamed spinach, cheese, roast pepper, and egg bap which was one genuinely of the best breakfast dishes I've ever had! Chilled atmosphere, friendly staff & good coffee.

Wonderful as ever. A wonderful find for that different dining out experience. Friendly welcome, coupled with a lovely lamb shank. Chocolate Mousse a must for a naughty end to the night. Will be back for another dinner when the opportunity arises.

posto carino, si mangia bene, il personale e' molto simpatico e attento e la compagnia gradevole. Niente da criticare
