Le Sacre Coeur is a traditional French bistro at 18 Theberton Street in Angel, Islington. One of the area’s established French restaurants, it offers a cosy and intimate dining room where lunch and dinner centre on generous portions, familiar regional recipes and an unhurried approach to service.
Starters range from French onion soup with wine, herbs, croutons and cheese to duck and orange parfait served with fruit preserve and toasted bread. Fried Camembert, garlic prawns, whitebait, charcuterie, snails and frog legs bring together both approachable favourites and more distinctive bistro traditions.
Classic main courses include coq au vin, beef bourguignon, duck confit and Toulouse sausages, each supported by sauces and comforting potato accompaniments. Chargrilled rib eye steak comes with fries and a choice of sauce, while mussels can be prepared with cream and white wine, garlic or Provençal style tomatoes and peppers.
Salmon, sea bass, cod, seafood tagliatelle and king prawns broaden the menu beyond meat, alongside stuffed aubergine, vegetable crêpes and other vegetarian choices. Set menus provide a concise route through the selection, with tarte Tatin, crème brûlée, chocolate crêpes, wine and French spirits completing the meal.
