Tilly Goodwin

Amazing French food . Can't recommend highly enough. Pork belly and apple - super unpretentious and well executed, and such good value . The kind of place where I'd like to try everything on the menu.

Mona

I love this restaurant ! The food is delicious and great value for money ! 3 course for £20. My favourite main is the duck + I've had the steak/ravioli, also very gd. I always leave with a smile! :)

Chantelle Tang

Absolutely lovely place and can't believe how such good value it is. Had the lobster and crab ravioli to start, the duck for main and the baileys cheesecake for dessert . The duck is a must!

María

Lovely homemade food ! Simple, unpretentious and really tasty experience. Loved the lobster and crayfish ravioli and the sea bass .

Mike D

3 floors of seating. Try to get ground floor seating . First floor is good and second is OK. Make reservations on the weekend. Great value , the food is delicious. Recommend for a date.

Sasha Filimonov

Duck breast is tender with a perfectly seared skin - paired with a garlic mash , delightful. Plus without the sauce it's gluten-free (don't fret, the rest of the flavours make up for it in spades).

Tom Brown

Of my favourite restaurants in London. Perfect for a date, but amazingly reasonable prices. Best tables are upstairs in the evening, the ravioli starter is out of this world

Vic McGin

Super cheap and beautiful three course meals. Attentive staff and a cosy atmosphere . A real islington institution . Cheese board is easily enough for 2!

Tania Segura Guillen

Delicious food! Cheap for a french restaurant . Duck and sea bass highly recommended! Friendly staff .

Jo Halstead

Gorgeous restaurant , lovely when candlelit . 2nd or 3rd floor are better than the ground floor. Delicious food and excellent value for money , just feels a little rushed due to the table-turning policy.

Russell Barnes

The duck is superb, and the Scottish salmon and haddock dishes are really good too. Friendly service and great value for money .

Daryna Vakulenko

Fantastic interior and good wine selection ! Duck breast was delicious.

Kevin Huber

Cozy ! (As in tiny) great for a third or fourth date! Beautiful inside. The wine is very reasonable. Upstairs is a bit quieter .

Jen Siddall

Amazing prices! Food is very close to awesome, but with the price, far surpasses the expectation. Atmosphere lovely, service friendly , and house red great for price. Definitely recommend.

Christo Papadopoulos

Simple & cheap french bistrot - probably the cheapest in London. Service average. Menu changes from time to time.

Good honest and fresh french food . Definitely worth the price that low even for the London standards. Recommended without any doubt.

An Islington institution ! Cheap and generally decent French food . They struggle to produce a rare steak though.
