Spot the smart red awning on Islington Green and you know you're in the right place. The Bellanger is an all-day venue inspired by the grand cafés of Europe’s coastal regions - and it's from the team behind The Wolseley so you know it's going to be good! Classic bistro details including red leather banquette seating, dark wood panelling and hung artwork are offset by a relaxed dining room layout and a newly designed cocktail bar for late-night drinks, lending a fresh twist to European café dining. Taking their cue from relaxed Mediterranean dining, their all-day menu features well-loved favourites such as Rib-eye Steak or Grilled Loch Duart Salmon, combined with signature seasonal dishes, from Orzotto Primavera to Crab Linguine. The wine list is impressive and the cocktails are inspired by the French tradition of L’Apéro, so perfect before dinner accompanied by a few salty snacks... They have a good selection of non-alcoholics too. A lovely all-rounder in a part of London where it's easy to while away a weekend afternoon with friends.
