Another cozy cafe in the finsbury park area. I come here often to get a coffee and once in awhile I get some breakfast. Such a wonderful find! Not only is the atmosphere amazing, but the service is too! I ordered a sage lemonade, a green smoothie, and avo on toast with scrambled eggs. All of these were amazing! The drinks were refreshing and perfectly combined, and the food was flavourful and cooked to perfection. Overall I would 100% recommend this cafe to anyone in the area!

Cute and cosy cafe with a nice selection of colourfully presented, brunch dishes. Enjoyed the Eggs Benedict and English Breakfasts but sadly wouldn't recommend the Pancakes, which were a little hard and dry. Friendly and attentive service and a nice atmosphere throughout. They had indoor and outdoor seating and were quick to accommodate our party of 4

Sage Kitchen is a delightful spot with a fantastic menu and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and the staff is friendly and attentive. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. That said, I noticed there’s an opportunity to enhance their online presence—there doesn’t seem to be a dedicated social media channel or a fully optimized website. These tools could help more people discover and enjoy this amazing spot. As someone experienced in social media management and website development, I’d be happy to help showcase the charm and quality of Sage Kitchen online.

We had our festive party last week Friday at Salut! and the team cannot stop raving about the food and service. From starters to dessert it was all fantastic and full of flavour. Their festive menu is incredible value and full of really delicious choices. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back for future events. Thank you again to Tom for all the help organising the day and being so flexible with dietary restrictions etc

Every mouthful was delicious! From the whipped truffle butter accompanying the focaccia right through to the dark ganache with burnt orange and white chocolate crumb, every dish was delicious. A great choice of dishes to suit all dietary requirements, our group had a vegetarian, pescetarian and non pig and alcohol, yet we were all able to find amazing options for every course. The mushroom duxelles was magnificent that my hubby kept stealing it, his beef sirloin was perfect but the masterpiece was the confit duck. Loved the ganache to finish and the pistachio baked Alaska was incredible. 35 for 2 courses and 42 for 3, £60 each including drinks and service which was great considering the quality. Service was prompt and unhurried at the same time allowing us to have a really good catch up with friends. Highly recommend, intimate setting with open kitchen.

Hands down, the best Thai I’ve had in London! 🇹🇭 🎉 I highly recommend the feasting menu which gives a tasteful offering of 6 dishes and sides to share. Trust me, there is a lot of food and it is DELICIOUS. The menu is really creative and places unique twists on classics. The results are unexpected and wonderfully packed with a cornucopia of flavors!

Incredible food and a cozy atmosphere! We came here on a recommendation from friends who said it’s the best Thai spot in London. We weren’t disappointed! We got 2 snacks, 3 starters, and 1 main between two of us and it was probably just 1 starter too many, but we were happy to take the rest home for lunch the following day.

Truly outstanding. I eat Thai, and other southeast Asian cuisines, regularly. This place is special. The Thai jungle curry featured delicious aged beef shin and amazing textures that can only come from real authentic thai ingredients - wild garlic and pea aubergine to name a couple! Highly recommend. Will be back.

We had an incredible dining experience at Ninh's. The presentation of the food was exquisite, and the flavours were absolutely delightful. Every dish tasted incredibly fresh, especially the selection of vegetarian options we tried. My friend opted for the Beef Vermicelli and thoroughly enjoyed it. Allow us to highly recommend some must-try dishes: the Summer Rolls, Papaya Salad, Aromatic Mixed Vegetables with Pancakes, Vietnamese Shaking Mushrooms, and the Vermicelli Salads (both the Beef and Veg options). Ninh's is more than happy to accommodate any modifications you may desire, such as omitting the bean sprouts. The service at Ninh's is friendly and accommodating, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The interior of the restaurant is serene and spotlessly clean, providing a tranquil atmosphere. Whether you're dining with your partner or a group of friends, Ninh's is a fantastic place to enjoy authentic Vietnamese cuisine in the vibrant neighbourhood of Highbury.

Always hits the spot! Friendliest staff around & the food is consistently good (excellent brunch options) Can recommend the halloumi breakfast or soup of the day…followed by a grilled sandwich They know their coffee & teas too! And the takeaway cake slices can’t be shied away from either…

Passed this a few times when going to Arsenal but never went in because I thought it was just a coffee shop. But it's a little gem. Went in there yesterday as everywhere else was packed, Friday night and Arsenal playing. Food and service are great and I'll be coming here from now on when going to Arsenal.

Love love love. I actually stopped for the price. I walked from Angel down Upper street looking for a well priced normal cafe and finally found it! Everything was central London prices and didn’t feel it was worth £10 for a sandwich. So when I seen Benita Bakery had great quality selection and great price tea and coffee of course I had to choose here. I ordered a mushroom and cheese toastie, chai latte with oat milk to sit in. And it came to just under £10 total! They offered free water in the tap as seen in the pictures I uploaded, nicely much needed touch! We shouldn’t have to keep buying bottled water or ask for water. Lots of seating available. I added in a notice they have in regards to laptop use which is totally fine by me. Saves the seats for everyone else. Very friendly and attentive staff who brought my hot drink to my table. Yes will be back. And it’s dog friendly so will be back with mine!

I visited this cafe in late December 2023. The variety of the food and drinks on offer is impressive. The quality of all food is the highest I have seen and despite the price for a sandwich are not cheap (£6.95 at the time of visit), the price is justified in terms of ingredients and their freshness. Equally welcoming is the service. Unlike other cafes where service outside the main confinement of the preparation / coffee stand is an afterthought, the staff ventures out of their immediate preparation area to pick used plates and glasses (something rare in the post pandemic era in many cafes). The atmosphere of the place is also nice and the seating area at the back is really bright instead of gloomy in most other cafes. Last but not least, if you are vegetarian or vegan there are options for your in terms of sandwiches which you can inspect before you buy (see photos).

The Place is a fantastic local coffee shop with a cozy, neighborhood feel. The staff is incredibly friendly and always makes sure you are completely satisfied. The coffee is outstanding, easily surpassing that of big chain stores like Starbucks. Situated on a side road off the main road, this hidden gem is a must-visit for coffee lovers. I was also impressed to see many locals and their furry companions frequenting the shop. I'll definitely be returning to The Place next time I'm in the area

WOW! What an incredible experience at Terra Rossa! Every dish the 6 of us had was simply perfect - rich flavours, fresh ingredients and beautiful presentation. They has brilliant options for vegans (2 of us were), with separate vegan and gluten-free menus. We celebrated my husband's parents anniversary at the restaurant and had fantastic service throughout our meal - it truly made for a special day!

Ate here one night with my family and was so good we came again not even 24 hours later. The pizza and pasta are absolutely divine. We all agreed the last time we ate pizza this good was when we lived in Italy. Please do yourself a favor and stop by - service is lovely and atmosphere is cozy and comforting. An islington must eat!

Everything was authentic, except for the food. The service was lovely from an enthusiastic host, he made good suggestions and made us feel welcome. The entree of Burrata was delicious although could have used some bread to come with. My wife ordered the seafood risotto but said the seafood didn’t feel fresh and the rice was perhaps undercooked. I felt the same for my boar pasta dish, the meat was great but the pasta was undercooked. The atmosphere was great and intimate for our table of 2, however with the food quality - I’m not sure it justifies the more than 120 pounds for an entree, two mains and two drinks.

We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The service was quick, and the staff went above and beyond, even offering water for our dog. Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming, but the real surprise was the amazing pizza called Terra Rossa - far better than we expected to find on a high street in London. We'll definitely be coming back!

first time trying Terra Rossa and we had a very good lunch experience. service was exceptional, as was ambience. for food we had staples from Salento: fave e cicoria, panzerotti, orecchiette alle cime di rapa, pappardelle al ragù di cinghiale, pasticciotto (all accompanied by a good glass of negroamaro and taralli). the pasta were excellent. a bit less convincing was the pasticciotto, which was served fridge-cold and the pastry was not really "crumbly" (maybe used butter rather than lard, not sure). overall it was a very good, hearty lunch served with a wonderful smile

Great restaurant for lunch/dinner where you can expect decent tasty food and drink in a pleasant atmosphere. Specials of the day and classic French dishes available. House wine and coffee good too. Staff pleasant and not overly attentive. Price point reasonable. In all a pleasant experience I have repeated often over the last 10 years.

The food was not the best, therefore 4 stars. But quite a good ambience and it’s not too expensive for a French lunch, reasonable prices. Onion soup and the other soup of the day (beetroot & turnip) was amazing. Snails/escargots were good too.

A great little gem both for family & friends gatherings. I went with a friend for lunch. The menu was quite standard like most other French restaurants but quality is above the average I’ve visited in the city. Service was particularly good, so was deco. It was causal but atmospheric, exuding a relaxing & welcoming feel.

I popped in here for a quick bite and a beer mid week after work. This place has a great atmosphere and plenty of screens for watching football. Service was quick and efficient and they have a good selection of lesser known draft beers. I had a cheeseburger which was fine. The highlight was it had relish which seems to be a lost condiment nowadays. It was good meat and not too overloaded with salad. It was a deal for a beer and burger and good value for the area. I’m not in angel often but my overall impression of this place is that I would go back.

Great way to finish off a match having reserved a table for my kids and I, we were able to have a quick bite to eat before heading home on our train. The staff were very friendly, helpful and burgers went down a treat. It didn’t take long for our food to arrive and we got drinks at the bar relatively easily although it was very packed as one would expect after a match at Arsenal. Great atmosphere and glad we booked a table!
