Restaurant near Sadler's Wells

[Waterzoy]

I'm looking for a restaurant close to Sadler's Wells walking in the Islington direction. I have been to Moro a few times already and would like to try somewhere else. Any recommendations welcome....thanks.

I was pleasantly surprised by Almeida when I was last at Sadlers Wells!

I'd definitely give the Ambassador a pop.

I'd also stagger as far as St John if the budget will take it.

The Eagle, if you're willing to walk slightly towards Farringdon, or Konstam at the Prince Albert, if you don't mind heading towards King's Cross?

Close to Sadlers Wells and walking towards Islington are The Fish Shop www.thefishshop.net and Upper Glas www.glasrestaurant.co.uk.

yes glas is probably your best best

in terms of distance the closest place would be the peasant gastropub on st john and percival.

I didn't think much of the Peasent I have to say. Haven't been for a while though.

It depends what time you want to eat and where you are approaching from.

Close by are Moro (which you know), Medcalf (right next to Moro) and the Eagle. All are good and we eat at Medcalf most often of the three. If you are eating early (ie pre theater) I would definitely recommend Medcalf. The Eagles is too smoky early on while Moro has no atmosphere. Medcalf also has a more adventerous menu, imo.

Can't fault the idea of Konstam but it is decent hike away. Or even a taxi ride.

I would personally avoid the Angel/Upper St choices but that may be just a personal prejudice.

The Peasant is just not what it used to be. Seems to go backwards with success. You could also walk from St Johns...it's about the same distance as Konstam.
