About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Lively
Hot spot

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 mind

The 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

Staff not engaging at all,service wasn’t great but still had to pay for it! Most of the food we wanted wasn’t available and was shocked at how expensive it was,left feeling ignored and ripped off!

A handful of years after the opening of Plimsoll, 5 or 6 streets away from here, Tolington's ticks all the boxes of the great food and the low key place again. Good job guys, the tapas expérience will never be the same 👍

Such great value for money, flavours and quality of food. I will be running back, pretty much every dish (89%) left us drooling and gagging for more X
