Alcedo Bistro & Bar is an independent neighbourhood restaurant at 237 Holloway Road. Its menu combines familiar British and European bistro cooking with several Latin American dishes, creating a broad choice for lunch, dinner and drinks. Vegetarian, vegan and halal options help the restaurant accommodate different groups without narrowing the selection to one style of food.
Starters include lamb koftas with tomato and onion salad, crispy calamari with harissa and garlic mayonnaise, and seared tiger prawns in chilli garlic butter. Smoked salmon and prawn salad arrives with Bloody Mary mayonnaise, while baby gem lettuce and avocado with cheese dressing offers a lighter meat free opening. The range moves comfortably between grilled meat, seafood and fresh salads.
Pasta and rice dishes include spaghetti carbonara, beef lasagne, crab and fennel taglierini with cherry tomatoes and fresh chilli, and linguine with mixed seafood. Risotto primavera combines courgette, peas and Gorgonzola, while chicken and mushroom risotto provides a richer alternative. Panini and ciabatta are also available during the daytime for a quicker meal.
Substantial mains include roasted chicken breast with chard and mushrooms, slow roasted pork belly with creamy mash and cider sauce, grilled sirloin steak with hand cut chips, and miso marinated salmon with mushrooms and pak choi. Churrasco Ecuatoriano is served with rice, fried egg, avocado, salad and chips, while a mixed seafood soup comes with green plantain crisps. Wine, beer and cocktails complete Alcedo's relaxed bistro format.
