• Thai • Highbury/Islington
Booked 16 times today
Farang means “foreigner” in Thai. We cook for flavour, not authenticity: Thai techniques and Thai balance, with seasonal British ingredients wherever they’re better.Farang started out at London street food markets, trading from the back of Sebby’s car, before landing in Highbury as a pop-up in 2016. It never left. We’ve held a Michelin Bib Gourmand every year since 2019, made the National Restaurant Awards Top 100, and hold the Thai Select award from the Royal Thai Embassy.Our Thai produce leaves Bangkok on Sunday, lands at Heathrow on Tuesday and is in our kitchen by Wednesday. Everything is made from scratch, and the menu changes with the seasons. If it’s your first visit, go for the feasting menu, which brings the best of the menu to the table in one go.We’re a short walk from Highbury & Islington, Arsenal and Finsbury Park stations. Book a table, as we do get busy.

• Fish • Holloway
Booked 20 times today
A small fish restaurant from the Four Legs team (The Plimsoll). A love letter to Spain and Portugal and the inspiration for all of the wet rice dishes now found across menus in the city. Viva la Inspiración. 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 palate and 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. In the warmer months the pavement becomes alive with customers and the food reflects the weather. In winter people huddle indoors and enjoy the heartier mountain foods of Iberia.
