Primeur

"A converted garage serving chickpeas with feta is sure to raise the blood pressure of some. Primeur is a charmer by nature, though. Canonbury locals have been seduced by this spot for years and don’t be surprised to see older generations raise a Negroni to all the squeaky brakes fixed on this hallowed ground." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna

"Primeur is the gold standard of flickering candlelight restaurants in London. This plush living room of a Canonbury restaurant is all shared tables and knees touching. It’s always humming with lovers new and old picking on European-style small plates, lazily knifing terrine with one hand while swilling riesling with another. Hunker down among the dancing flames with a plate of jamon and some gnudi." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, sinead cranna

"Primeur is on a residential road near Newington Green and when the sun has got its hat on and the main door is slid open, it is truly one of (if not the) most enjoyable restaurants in London to be in. The food, European-style small plates, is the perfect accompaniment to a bottle of wine. The ideal time to book is for early evening, so you can eat jamon and gnudi in sunlight, and then cheese and meringue in candlelight." - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak

"Primeur is a converted garage on a residential road near Newington Green, and when the sun has got its hat on and the main door is slid open, it’s a lovely place to be. It’s also a lovely place to be when the weather is the opposite. It’s like being on your sofa when it’s raining outside, only you’ll be eating jamon and gnudi, and drinking wine instead." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
