Food

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 Lived off Upper Street for years but my tips will all be pretty outdated now I imagine.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.

Top post, many thanks.

Despite all your wonderful options, i'm going to stick to Le Mercury.

Sushi last night, my gf and I eat a lot of Turkish, and I reserve pub eating for lunch or Sundays.

A chef mate was mentioning John Salt recently...?

Looks like standard affair for these days, would like to check it out but doesn't look too veggie friendly for my gf.

Thanks for the heads up though.
