"Goodbye Horses in Islington is the kind of place that makes us feel like we’re at the dinner party of a friend who’s an artist. Staff tinker with a record player and the mood is as easy and relaxed as the crinkled linen top your neighbour's wearing. Modern European plates look pretty and taste even better, like fancy egg mayo and oxtail ragout flecked with crispy meat. They're perfect for picking at with a date, or with a small group of friends who appreciate the bonhomie of a shared wooden table." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
