There might be posh spots in this London borough but Islington has restaurants that cater for all tastes. Head out for a meal before hitting the district's clubs or enjoy a lunch with friends between exploring the art galleries and splurging at the shops. Restaurants in London's Islington range from smokehouses serving hearty portions of American-style roasts and ribs to Turkish cafes selling mezze platters perfect for lunchtime sharing. Alternatively, a selection of elegant French brasseries with dishes like fish parmentier, poulet grillé or steak frites bring a real flavour of France to the borough.
