"Goodbye Horses in Islington is the kind of place that makes us feel as sexy and confident as a Love Island bombshell. Staff tinker with a record player and the mood is as easy and relaxed as the crinkled linen top your date is wearing. Modern European plates look pretty and taste even better, like fancy beef tartare and oxtail ragout. They're perfect for picking at when you’re a serial spiller who’s trying to impress, or with someone who appreciates the bonhomie of a wooden table." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
