Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Highbury/Islington

A refreshingly different menu using seasonal ingredients. We enjoyed everything we ordered which was more filling than we had expected. (Had to take some home in a doggy bag). Quite expensive for what we had but I am slowly getting used to having to pay more, quite a lot more, in good restaurants these days. Service was excellent and ambience was great.

Had a wonderful time for dinner this evening . Service was great, the atmosphere was elegant and every dish was incredible. We were even given a complimentary dessert for the occasion as it was my anniversary. Will love to come back one day.

We had a wonderful Christmas eve dinner here. The sea bass was great and the service was very good. Would definitely come back next time we are in London. Good variety of food on the menu.

As always totally superb food, wines and service! Thank you St John for always being special!

Absolutely fantastic on every count. The service, the atmosphere, and importantly, the food. Could not fault it at all. Wanted a great meaty restaurant to take my vegetable hating husband to on his birthday. Someone at work had recommended Blacklock so I booked it. We’ve been to Hawksmoor a few times and loved it, so our expectations were high and it did not disappoint. Staff were amazing from the moment we arrived. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Attentive to exactly the right level. Food was sensational. We had the Prime Rib (700g) and a bacon chop, plus fries. So good. Deserts were also lovely- bread and butter pudding and 698142 cheese cake both fabulous. We then had a tipple at the bar on the way out. All excellent and very reasonably priced. We will definitely be back.
