Islington locals looking for an upmarket neighbourhood French bistro will be delighted to discover Le Bijou D'Ange - or 'Jewel of the Angels' - on Thebarton Street, just off Upper Street. The discreet, rustic dining room is ideal for quiet business lunches, romantic meals and intimate celebrations, and the restaurant is always filled with an artsy, well-heeled crowd. The waiting staff here are super-friendly, and Head Chef Dominique is renowned for his down-to-earth dishes such as the home prepared foie gras marinated in calvados and served with toast; the restaurant's signature rabbit casserole with prunes cooked in an Armagnac and plum sauce; and the phenomenal crepes caramelised in brown sugar and orange juice served with bananas and pistachio cream.
