Bistro Sablé

Bistro Sablé took over from Smokehouse (although it's by the same group) and made this little corner of Islington look like a French bistro that has been here for an age. The menu is full of classic French dishes, from cheese soufflés and pâté en croute through to Dover sole meuniere and rich boeuf Bourgignon. The kitchen here is doing sterling work that wouldn't feel out of place in Paris and there's a great all-French wine list that's well priced. In the warmer months, a seat on the terrace is a must.
