Best Casual Restaurants in Highbury/Islington

It's the first time any of us in our group have dined at the Ivy Asia St Pauls and we weren't disappointed. We enjoyed a team lunch, the quality of food and menu choice is amazing. The décor is beautiful too. For a lunch service, it was good, we didn't feel rushed nor did we have to wait long at any point. Highly recommend for somewhere that isn't your run of the mill lunch option!.

What a fantastic surprise this restaurant was! We went for my birthday with a large group of friends. All with different tastes and ideas on food! We were welcomed so warmly and taken into an inviting rooms Where the tables were set nicely. The choice of drinks was good and as for the menu....... fantastic! Who knew how long it would take for 14 people,e to decide on what to eat?! Delicious food, attention to detail, explanations, piping hot, tasty, different....... what more can I say! Fab! I was also presented with a magnificent birthday cake and singing! Thank you all very, very much for a wonderful birthday evening!

As we are in Miami, we have been to that Sexy Fish many times. And to be honest, the original London one definitely needs a little facelift. Came here almost 10 years ago but now it seems a little dated compared to the over-the-top Miami interiors. However, we came here for Sunday brunch and it was a great value. Starts with appetizers of tempura prawns and hummus and chips. Then the unlimited sushi/sashimi/hot apps buffet where anything sushi and the beef skewers and deviled eggs are highlights. Then a choice of three mains platters and gorgeous desserts after. Great vale for 68 pounds each! Excellent service from the great staff!

Really enjoyed the format of the restaurant. The chefs descriptions for each dish were enlightening and increased ones enjoyment of the food. Good value for London. Really enjoyed the carrot dish in particular. Location is new and has plenty of space. Will go again in a couple of months when the menu changes. Nice service. Good wine that was paired to the dishes.

Yummy! So filling & great value everything was good. Only thing is it’s winter so wish they hot hot drink on the menu. I was with my daughter who unfortunately has a cold and couldn’t get a drink because all their drinks were in the fridge. Only reason I’ve removed one star.
