Harden's survey result
Summary
“A little off the beaten track” at the far end of Islington, but “definitely a gem for this corner of London” – brothers Martin & Christoph Lange’s “cracking neighbourhood restaurant” is “consistently good” (“I’ve never had a bad dish”). There’s a fixed-price multi-choice menu to ensure “reasonable” bills.
Summary
This “lovely neighbourhood restaurant” in Islington from brothers Martin & Christoph Lange thrives thanks to a “really good all-round menu” fusing Nordic, French and German influences, and a “New York-style ambience”.
Summary
“A bit out of the way, on Islington’s generally unlovely Essex Road”, this “small neighbourhood spot” is worth discovering. “The open kitchen gives it a lovely and buzzy vibe”, as well as providing “interesting” and “good value” modern European cooking. “It’s open for Sunday lunch, but doesn’t serve the ubiquitous roast.”
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

"Excellent Sunday lunch "
"Intimate, with nice variety of modern british food. At this price level it is a good all-rounder. Lucky people are the people who live nearby."
"Excellent Sunday lunch "
"Excellent neighborhood restaurant. As so often, starters are the best, and mains limited for veggies. Wine list limited but OK. Friendly service, somewhat lacking in atmosphere. "
