Food

Going to Almeida theatre tonight just off Upper st, anywhere new(ish) on Upper st I should try for dinner beforehand? I was just going to go to Le Mercury because it's quick, cheap, and I think pretty delicious, but open to something new.

On a sidenote, which of the "burrito" places is the best around Angel, there's a few now and I've only tried Chilango.

Plenty to choose from around there. Lived off Upper Street for years but my tips will all be pretty outdated now I imagine.

Gallipoli (three branches on Upper St) does decent Turkish.

Mem and Laz also cheap, cheerful and entirely decent.

Gem was always reliable.

The sushi place by the Hope and Anchor (used to be Ken Hom's chinese) is great I think. Last time I was there for an early dinner it was quite and felt a bit shabby but the sushi is bang on.

Plenty of decent pub food within a stumble as well. The Albion springs to mind. The Crown on Cloudsley Square also does cracking food and ale. Lovely pub.

I dig Le Mercury too.
