• Fish • Holloway

Booked 20 times today

We do take a limited number of online bookings but walk-ins are very welcome (and encouraged)!Tired of the loosely French inspired humdrum of restaurants popping up across the city of London? Do you like holidays? Do you like cold drinks and warm service? If you've answered yes to one or more of these then perhaps Tollington's can refresh both your pallet and your mindThe idea came from a mirror in an antiques market and a love for a more informal approach to dining, the result a chippy in North London with church pews bolted to the walls to be leaned on and eaten from. The focus is on fish but the menu transcends just fish, leaving no stone unturned in the never ending quest for flavour Split between two rooms, the kitchen and bar shared by customers as they perch on bar stools and enjoy dinner and a show. The back room - lower lighting, lower seating, a slight calm compared to the front room. Works of art from friends of the restaurant adorn the walls and floors

Still the best meal in London with stunning staying power. In a city where most things are transient the plimsoll is the best meal you can take someone to, even after years.

We were luckily to catch patois food’s residency at Loop and throughly enjoyed our meal! We can’t wait to try her food again and loved the atmosphere and friendliness of the Loop staff. We’ll definitely be going back soon.
