5 /5 lyn cecil: Had a wonderful lunch at the relatively new Bistro Sablé on the Canonbury Road, Islington. Zero mocktails but the helpful front of house made up one to suit my tastes. And all wines by the glass my friend was pleased to see. Complimentary bread, butter and crudités were welcome.
She loves snails so that was her starter, and I had the lightest, most deliciously calorific cheese soufflé. I’d have it for every meal if I lived closer!
My friend has a sparrow’s appetite so picked at the most beautiful looking Bayonne ham, that came with celeriac remoulade, and I chose the wild halibut with cannellini beans, hold the Moreau sausage. We shared their famous mash and a plate of broccoli with almonds.
The 70% chocolate mousse with cherries sounded so tempting I ordered it as a takeaway.
Great decor and ambience, smiley caring staff-what’s not to love!
We’ve already decided to go back for dinner, and how magical it will be in the summer with so much outside seating.
