Liman Restaurant Islington is a Turkish and Mediterranean restaurant at 60 Penton Street. Its name means port in Turkish, and the intimate dining room is run with a warm, personal style that treats a meal as an expression of hospitality.

Ingredients are sourced fresh each day, while defining pantry items such as Antep pistachios, pomegranate molasses, sumac and Turkish pepper flakes connect the cooking to Turkey and the wider Levant. Hummus, baba ganoush, cacik, tabbouleh and warm bread create a generous mezze opening.

Chargrilled köfte, chicken wings and mixed shish sit alongside lamb shank, moussaka, sea bass and stuffed aubergine. Vegan dishes such as falafel and braised aubergine give plant based diners several substantial choices across both starters and mains.

The wine list follows the regions represented by the food, helping guests match drinks to spice, grilled meat or seafood. Homemade baklava with walnut and pistachio is a natural finish, while weekday lunch offers make the restaurant accessible for a shorter daytime visit as well as dinner.

Address: 60 Penton Street, London N1 9PZ, England

Dessert Wine

100 ml | Bottle

Moscatel Naturalmente Dulce
100 ml £9.45 / Bottle £35

Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. A stunning mixture of concentration and freshness, tingling with orangey acidity and floral, grapey aromas, then direct, powerful and surprisingly sweet on the palate. A tour de force!

LBV Port, Ferreira
100 ml £7.45 / Bottle £50

Douro, Portugal. The intense aroma is dominated by very ripe black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry and prune), along with chocolate, cocoa, floral aromas and a slight hint of spices (pepper).

Sauternes, La Fleur d`Or
Bottle £42.50

Bordeaux, France. An immediately inviting nose, combining apricot fruit, creamy patisserie notes and a certain citrus brightness, leads to a sweet yet beautifully balanced palate. Luscious but never cloying.

Montegauado Pedro Ximénez
Bottle £42.50

Andalusia, Spain. Dark chestnut in colour, with strong raisin nuances, as well as prominent liquorice and coffee notes. On the palate it is very soft, warm and sweet, with an excellent balance between acidity and sweetness, lending it a great mouthfeel and persistence.
