The best restaurants in Highbury West Islington London

Un gran grupo de nosotros visitamos Alcedo para nuestro final - de - término ‘hacer’ y no puedo recomendar lo suficiente! La comida era absolutamente maravillosa. Cada plato fue cocinado a la perfección y los tamaños de las porciones eran muy generosos. Las bebidas eran razonables y el servicio era impecable. El personal no podía hacer lo suficiente por nosotros. Cuando se fueron los últimos clientes (que no fueran nuestro grupo) , la música subió unos cuantos escalones y pudimos disfrutar de un baile y unas copas más. ¡Qué ambiente maravilloso y cálido! Definitivamente voy a volver a visitar este lugar pronto. ¡Gracias Alcedo!

Siempre una cálida bienvenida y un buen café y comida en este lugar local amable. A veces visito aquí hasta 3 veces a la semana con el mismo grupo de amigos y los propietarios saben todas nuestras preferencias de bebidas de memoria! Muy recomendable. .

A friend and I stumbled upon this place in search of coffee after visiting a few bookshops with our children on Blackstock road. The cakes in the window drew us in, there were brownies, cookies & carrot cake which all looked beautiful, fresh and homemade. We were welcomed in, we sat in the sunny courtyard and enjoyed delicious hot coffee & a few of the gorgeous cake choices, I’m already looking forward to returning to try the tempting lunch options. Wonderful caring service and such a relaxing atmosphere.

On our way to an early kick off at Arsenal (stadium is very close). We normally have breakfast at the Wetherspoons, but for some inexplicable reason it was closed (on a match day morning?!). Am quite glad it was as we spotted this place just down the road, so gave it a try. Excellent full English breakfast, fresh cooked, tasty, chunky bread toast, good coffee. And a similar price to Wetherspoons, apart from no unlimited coffee refills, with lots of other choices. The lunch etc menu looked good and plentiful too. All served quickly and by friendly staff. Wetherspoons - I think you've lost our business on match days!

I attended the opening night of this wonderful restaurant. This is not one for the fake food fans, oh no no no. This is a place only for the most seasoned food lovers and critics. It has a certain, shall we say... je ne sais quoi, about it. There were even decorations and costumes restated to the meal to come, foreshadowing some may say. To start with, I signed my food soul away to the head chef herself and was promptly escorted to my seat by a waitress I can only describe as incredibly french and also rather sexy (don’t tell the wife !) Anyways, after the excitement of being seated then came the foods and my god were the FOODS. Peaches with cryptic messages, soup spooned into our moths while our hands were tied behind us, MOUNTAINS of butter and even powdered ginger biscuits! Take em as you like em. A real sensory overload. There were guests of honour and incredible speeches, and the evening was topped of with many a drink and many a dance. My only complaint may be that someone ?? Played a questionable amount of nickel back at the end. And honestly, what the hell. But that of course is out of the chefs hands, and so I will not let it blur my judgement of this wonderous occasion. I CANNOT recommend this place enough. I might have to hire chef El Lon for all of my weddings.

Me and a couple of mates went for a pre match meal before going to watch Arsenal v PSV Eindhoven, the cafe was clean and bright, the food was served fresh, piping hot and was delicious. Generous portions, outstanding value for money. What a cafe! Highly recommended. UTA UTEC UTHR.

Fantástica comida y excelente servicio. El idiota y el arroz son perfectos y tienen una sensación encantadora antes de un partido de fútbol

Nourriture très bonne même excellente , bon rapport qualité prix, restaurant calme et personnel adorable. Nous recommandons x10000 ! bravo et encore merci

I don't really get street food but the paella from this place looked promising and they also did my favourite fideua which was the weekly special. It was so good that I had it twice because it was a weekly special. The noodles were really flavourful and the calamari just right without being too chewy. As well as calamari, there were loads of fresh mussels and prawns.

I had tasted the best kebab in London! Excellent lamp and chicken with salad and wonderful crispy chips! You have to taste it!

What is it to be ? Goat curry - or the jerk chicken - chips or rice and peas ...It's real authentic jamaican food, Fab portions, and a great price. They also sell patties and Jamaican soft drinks too.

Top bins - great coffee, amazing noodle bowl and also beer on tap!

The French toast is a must try! 10/10.

During my trip to London and Florence, I've had my favourite meals at Iznik. The vegetarian mezze platter has a great variety and tue smoky babaganoush is out-of-this-world. Everything is fresh and tasty. The Malbek wine complimented my meal and the ambience is peaceful and atmospheric. Lovely to watch the happenings at Highbury Barn. I just love this family business and applauded them on the cleanliness (even the toilets smell divine). I'm trying to fit in 3rd night here on my short trip. Bravo!
