The best restaurants serving Irish food in Islington London

Family birthday lunch was excellent. Fixed price menu not available Fridays so we had an Irish tapas experience: a wide mixture of starters. They included sea bass ceviche (fresh and zingy) a jug of prawns served plain, mussels in a parsley butter sauce, wickedly crisp chips, and bright green cabbage in garlic. The food was very high quality. The Guinness was good and the Irish coffees made with Irish whiskey measures, not measly English ones! The Albanian waiter was charming and efficient. We loved the black and white pictures by Jane Bown ( on the stairs) of Irish icons like Sinead O’Connor and Edna OBrien. Altogether a joyful experience
