Amazing food!!! Me and my husband call ourselves food travellers- we love to travel and we love to try new food and search for a little gem restaurants preferably away from city centres. We found this place by accident and OMG!!! food experience was absolutely unbelievable!!! Starters, mains, desserts- everything really delicious. I had a moment similar to the one from "The Ratatouille" movie, where the food critic was trying food and memories from childhood came rushing back- I had it when i tried my dessert- caramelised apple tart!!! Absolutely unforgettable flavour!!! Price was reasonable,

Good French atmosphere, lunch deal is very cheap with a lot of choice. The rabbit civet was good but the onion soup was slightly too salty

Dreadful service. I have a medical condition that means I must not be exposed to cigarette smoke. On Saturday afternoon, another couple arrived, were given the table next to ours (literally one foot behind me) and started chain -smoking. Le Sacre Coeur had been empty apart from 6 people (us and 2 others), so there was no need to place smokers next to non-smokers. I complained, explained my problem, and asked to be moved to another table, expecting an apology and to be moved to the other end of the restaurant. But the eldest waitresses got visibly annoyed, complained that all the other tables were

Always loved this place since the mid/late 90s. Was my go to place for Sunday evening dinner for close to a decade. Was close by, so drove by on the off chance and so happy to see it’s still there and bustling.… We managed to snag an outdoor table where you can watch the world go by and all with the same great service, and delicious French food. Highly recommend this place particularly since there are so few reasonably priced French restaurants around.

I was meant to go elsewhere for lunch - glad I stopped here! The service was attentive, the food was delightful - even the espresso deserves a mention. Perfectly cooked tender entrecte, and very reasonable price for a very lavish meal.

Delightful spot in the heart of Islington. Walk from Angel. French food a delight and a wide choice. The set menu has great choices and represents great value. However, be sure to check what you want to eat against the set menu price as what we ordered was less individually than the set menu. The staff were great agreeing to charge seperately. Great cooking. French tastes. Good scenery. Good service. Highly recommend.
