Best restaurants near me in Barnsbury, England

We had a lovely early dinner (2 courses for £19.95 before 6:30pm). The room was very noisy (and full) by the time we left at 8pm so being there early suited us really well. Service from Nusaybah was particularly outstanding. Charming and attentive without ever being invasive - and efficient. I am intolerant to wheat. She talked through the menu with me and knew exactly what was ok and not ok for me to eat. Food came out of the kitchen marked with little ‘gluten free’ signs to assure me. Having my dietary needs be so well cared for by Nusaybah and the kitchen made me realize how extremely rare it is I feel this when eating out! A delightful experience - I’ll be back!

What an interesting daily changing menu. Second visit and had the suet crust pie both times. It's really big, thought I'd only eat half but somehow it all disappeared. This visit was beef, bacon and mushroom. Only comment both times, I like a bit more gravy in it, but we're all different. We had with leek gratin- probably a million calories but so worth it, and cabbage with chilli oil. We were utterly full but fortunately ignored and shared/fought over a chocolate pot with cherries. They were really busy- on a dark freezing cold Monday night in January, so obviously very popular. Interesting wine list but regrettably on a dry night. Another reason to return. Sunday lunch looks amazing.

Nice experience at 11am on a Friday. Staff were attentive and courteous. Very much able to have a conversation across the table with a friend without needing to increase my voice - which was a surprise given the very high ceilings. This was despite the Grand Cafe area being full as it became lunchtime. On this basis, I will definitely return. The menus are very good too now - really strongly Germanic cuisine, matching its name.

Very good food and service. Pub very quiet so not much ambience but was nice for a catch up lunch

Excellent experience both in terms of the food and the unique Georgian wines offered (and the recommendations in respect thereof from the staff) and also in conversations with the staff as to history and traditions of the culture. Would go back next time I’m in London.
