Le Mercury

Having built up a loyal following over the last three decades, French bistro Le Mercury is still delighting diners in Islington as it nears its fourth decade.

It’s rare that you find such carefully prepared French-inspired food at such affordable prices, but then there’s a reason why this romantic neighbourhood spot has garnered rave reviews over the years.

With a loyal head chef who has overseen the menu for over a decade, Le Mercury oozes familiarity with their friendly staff and time-worn classics all as comforting as an old pair of slippers. It’s fair to say that once you’ve sampled the delights on offer, you’re guaranteed to be dipping your toe again and again.
