Mr J

Wild Alaskan salmon burger is very good. The place is lovely and the music is delightful (appropriate volume & great choice of jazz ). Kind service . DEFINITELY worth it. I'll happily come back.

Steph Jones

Great food and £4 for a Bloody Mary which is unheard of in London. Lovely people but SLOW service. Come when it's quiet or expect to wait, for everything.

Ankoor Jain

Great food, with really good vegetarian and vegan options . Large portions . Juices are great. Awesome for brunch !

Jennifer Hicks

Get a table at the front window on Saturdays to watch the wedding parties coming out of Islington Town Hall . Great fanfare and people watching ! Solid menu and service, too

Refreshing change of the breakfast brunch . Go for mediterranean breakfast . Surprise yourself. Thinking about fish and seafood now and plan to eat sushi and ramen at Hi sushi in camden tonight.

Sam M

Fantastic takeaway , super-tasty main and masses of great salad for £5.50. Someone knows how to cook broccoli correctly - almost raw :)

Anna Szypkowska

This time tried roasted salmon salad , it was very good

Julz Birdie

The location and place itself is beautiful. However, the full English or veggie breakfasts are small and just looks poor. Not much taste as well . A bit dissapoitning.

Nick A

Reasonable prices and very good food. Always something coming out the kitchen you want to try!

Chris Bruno

Brunch was pretty excellent. Eggs Benedict. ????

Vic McGin

Reliable, reasonably priced brunch . But not my favourite place around here.

Faye B

The eggs florentine is sooo good. The hollandaise sauce is scrummy :)

Christine Fai

Fantastic halloumi and chorizo salad

Tom M

Refused to honor a deal, they said they don't do it for breakfast but they should have told me that when i booked and mentioned the deal.

Marco Paolini

The stuffed aubergine ! The stuffed aubergine !

Erik

The wasabi mash that came with the tuna was superb.

Alexandre Roty

You need to book a table either for an early sunday breakfast

Christopher Sutton

The carrot , celery & beetroot juice is weird but great, definitely worth a try for the adventurous ;)

Frédéric Harper

Best Croque-Madame I ever eat

Marina Fashchilina

Spacious , extensive menu, but the burger was tasteless

Phil Buckler

Always disappointed by this place, but keep coming back

Nathan Fisher

Ordered the veggie sausage breakfast so much food...

Brendan Nelson

Vegetarians beware - the staff don't know what food is veggie-safe, so might tell you it is when it's not. Check before you tuck in! The food is pretty good though

Wendy Burrows

Nice coffee and friendly staff

Colm Hanratty

Ask waiter for password for WiFi

Adrian Choi

Cumberland sausage breakfast

Antony

Non existent service. After waiting over 10 minutes to even have my order taken I walked out. There are far too many good options on Upper Street to have to put up with this.

Pascale Recher

wednesday evening... 7.30pm live jazz

Tobias M.

Don't go for the rib eye steak . Meat quality is rather low.

Stuart Prior
