This venue is a revelation. After passing by the storefront many times, we finally ventured in and it opened up like a magical wardrobe. It's airy, bright with large format art on the walls and multi dimensional with a main dining room with several more intimate rooms off the side. Our table was at the junction of three of the spaces and we quite enjoyed that dynamic view. 

The food was generally very good. We started with the tequila and mezcal cocktails, and the Dorchester crab appetiser. They were all marvellous. The crab was enclosed in a terrine fashion lined w creamy avocado and topped W freshly shaved fennel, giving a bite full of all these components a real dance on the palette. Our mains were the duck confit and the veal. Both were done nicely but not remarkable. For dessert, we shared the tiramisu and typically I take 2 bites and my sweet tooth is sated. Not this time. I went back again and again and my seriously dessert obsessed husband actually paused his go at it since I so rarely express so much enthusiasm for dessert. 

The service was also lovely, friendly and responsive. The overall experience is one I'd be happy to repeat.

We came here for drinks after Jules' going away brunch. There were five of us, and it was a nice little place to sit, with the giant front windows open, and comfy seats to sit around chatting while having an afternoon cocktail. I had a cocktail with champagne, rosemary infused vodka and grapefruit bitters. I wasn't too sure about the flavor combo, but I'm a huge fan of Rosemary vodka. We then moved on to the Pimm's which was really delicious with a nice mix of fruit, cucumber and mint.

After we all left, and the other half and I went and did a bit of shopping, the two of us decided to stop back by to get a couple more drinks. We then opted to just stick around and have dinner, as we looked at the dinner menu and it looked fab. At the table, I asked if they could do a rosemary vodka martini using the rosemary infused vodka, and they asked and the bartender said yes, so they made us a couple of those and we ordered a bottle of red.

For dinner we had the trio of tartare (salmon with dill, tuna with sesame and avocado, and scallop with apple) and it was absolutely delicious. Nice flavor profiles and it was awesome with the martinis. For the main we had the tastes of beef (oxtail, cheek, fillet and marrow) and you get a lovely plate with the four different preparations. Everything was delicious (though the oxtail had a bit too much potato on top). For dessert we went with cheese, and they had the most amazing brie I've ever tasted (and sourced from a place in Hertfordshire).

For a place we found randomly walking down Camden passage, we found a wonderful gem in the area that we'll be back to!

Set between antique shops, Fredericks is a gem of a restaurant hidden away from Islington's lively upper street. The spicy Tiger prawns with mango salsa are very good but not worth £17. I do think the food is extremely overpriced  but I love the 'hidden' garden which makes forget you are actually in central London. 

The staff are friendly and the decor is very tasteful but the food is quite pricey- go to Frederick's when someone else is paying!

Where it's situated in Camden Passage is great, and the interior is very interesting, however it is overpriced where the main course reaches up to £26.00 for lobster and the cheapest of the main being £13.50 for an artichoke and spinach ravioli (much too expensive for what it is). One dish on the the menu at the moment is pork belly (my favourite usually) with bok choy and a spiced aubergine caviar which sounds delectable. However,  they are charging £18 for it, which is ridiculous considering pork belly is one of the cheapest cuts of pork you can get as it's predominantly fat, bok choi is a cheap Chinese vegetable and aubergine caviar is essentially a pulped puree of the vegetable. So it's hard to justify its price as £18 is just ridiculous!

 I only  came here as a friend and I got a special deal one evening, which was linked with something to do with the Business Design Centre just up the road. This meant we got a 3 course meal at a snippet of the price, and the food was not half bad. 

It's just a pity that I don't have the urge to dine here again, unless I get that amazing deal as I also know there are plenty of other great restaurants which serve what they serve and not half as expensive.

If you finish early on a weekday, go for the early bird meal which is £19 for a 3 course meal. That's a bargain because a starter of scallops can easily cost about £13 for one plate. It's super close to Angel station and it's a spacious place filled with natural light. Apparently this place is often used to do a wedding banquet! For starters I chose a asparagus veloute which is a sweet warm soup, for mains I had a lamb stuffed in aubergine with lots of feta and melted cheese on top. This was definitely a comfort type of food and I love aubergines. The dessert had quite a nice range but I went for the mandarin sorbet which was tangy and refreshing. Including mohito on the side and very good service the bill came to £29 per person which is a bargain for such a fancy place! Great for quite business and or date evenings!

Really nice French restaurant tucked away in Camden passage in Angel.The place looks small and unassuming from the outside but when you enter, it opens out to a large conservatory like room.
The service, food and wine are all rather classy and very good!
An ideal place for a business meal, romantic meal and/or just a classy night out.
Prices are on the higher end of the scale, but I think the whole experience is so nice that you won't mind the prices (even better if you are not paying!).

Fantastic and Fresh at Fredericks

I have been to Fredericks twice and had excellent experiences both times. The service from the moment I walk in is exquisite. 

The wine list is extensive and the wine service is great

Items I have had and loved:

- Escargot
- Smoked salmon
- Pan fried sea bass
- Tiger prawns with saffron risotto (AMAZING!!!)

This is an excellent place for a business lunch or probably a pre-bedroom afternoon trist (if that's you're thing). 

The cuisine here is classic and yet isnpired. A solid place to dine.

A great French restaurant just down Camden Passage near Angel station and something of a institution in the area. Over the years it has had many incarnations and the current one is pretty beautiful with a vaulted atrium like area in the back and great service making an evening here feel special.

Others have said that this is a great place for a business lunch or a cheeky drink at the bar with keenly priced, well made cocktails. I say go on Mondays or Tuesdays (or before 6.30 on any day) when they have a very reasonable three course meal daily menu with a choice from four starters, mains and desserts for a mere £19 or two courses for £15. This is exceptional value for a really nice evening out. Last time I had the Celeriac soup, Halibut and creme brûlée though the dishes do seem to change on a daily or weekly basis. The dishes are a little small but easily fill without feeling bloated.

Top Tip - The Monday and Tuesday menu do not apply in December with last orders reverting to 6.30. As long as you're seated and have ordered by then you can have a wonderful meal slightly away from the hustle and bustle of the Christmas party crowds (though were were, in ourselves a Christmas party...).

Have fun and look out for the huge tree in the atrium!

Bleedin Heck! I never usually eat at fancy pants places like this. Unless I'm schmoozing the board members of my guzzilion pound paperclip unbending company. Luckily I came across a nifty 2-for-1 offer so went in for a romantic dinner with a very lucky lady.

This place is expensive but the price tags are warranted. The food was delicious. For a starter I had the Foie Gras and chicken liver pate with brioche and figs and for my main Côte de boeuf, béarnaise with chips (sorry "potatoes - chipped"). Both dishes were ridiculously good. My mming and aaaahing was so loud. It was like a slightly less inappropriate version of that scene from When Harry Met Sally. 

The service was impeccable. We were very annoying customers, what with my stimulated taste bud induced groans of pleasure and our constant requests to raise and lower the temperature. Our waiter was unphased. He was lovely.

The decor is very cool. I felt like I was in Bugsy Malone. There's a nifty bar by the entrance where you can lounge with a cocktail (Old Fashioned for me).

Didn't get all the stars because of the prices being so high for me. If money was no object this would definitely be a 5.
