Alcedo Bistro & Bar - (Near Islington, london)

Abigail Joseph Popped in here for drinks with a friend and couldn’t resist ordering a vegan platter as a takeaway. When I got home and started on the platter, I was blown away by all the amazing flavours, the softness of the injera and thrilled to see the generous portions. Would definitely recommend this place and I will be back again

Sam O We had a wonderful family meal here. We were blown away by the incredible flavours - especially the beef stew. Great service and a very relaxed comfortable restaurant. We will definitely come back!

Rumyana Yoncheva Bluebell Bistro is truly a hidden gem. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by a warm, cozy atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at ease. The coffee is expertly crafted, rich in flavor, and clearly made with care, while the food is always fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. The attention to detail in both service and quality really sets this place apart. It’s the perfect spot to relax, work, or enjoy meaningful conversations with friends. Every visit feels special, and Bluebell Bistro is without a doubt a place you’ll want to return to again and again. Highly recommended.

zy Z The dry pot beef brisket was really good and the portion was huge. The beef was tender and full of flavour, and the dish came to the table still steaming hot. Definitely great for sharing. Good value and a very satisfying meal!

Dominic Fountaine This is by far the best and most authentic Thai food I have experienced in the UK! My wife is half Thai and has lived there and even she was amazed at some of the dishes available here that we havent found anywhere else except Thailand itself. Its a BYOB, which we didnt mind at all. There is a corkage fee but it wasnt over the top by any means. The staff were lovely and were very quick to accommodate anything we asked for, including things like providing small bowls so we could share a larger soup like a starter and other random requests. If you are a fan of Asian food or especially Thai food and can get over to this restaurant I cannot recommend it enough! The venue is small, however, so its best to book in advance as theres no guarantee you could get a table otherwise.

Ali Haidar Ontor One of the best places to eat around Holloway Road, especially if you’re studying at London Metropolitan University. The staff are genuinely helpful and guide you through the menu, and you can even request your food just the way you like it. The place is clean, cosy, and perfect for a quick meal or a relaxed break between classes.
