Humble Grape Islington is a restaurant, wine bar and wine shop at 11–13 Theberton Street, just off Upper Street. The bright dining room and emerald tiled bar provide a relaxed setting for dinner, a glass before the theatre, weekend lunch or a guided tasting. More than 500 wines from small independent vineyards form the heart of the experience, with an emphasis on organic and sustainably made bottles.
The food menu is designed for sharing. Olives, smoked almonds, cheese croquettes and rosemary focaccia lead into chicken and grape skewers, lamb carpaccio, burrata with artichoke and cured sea bream. Crispy cauliflower, buttermilk fried squid and padrón peppers add further small plates that can be matched with recommendations from the wine team.
Larger sharing options include baked Camembert, British cheese, charcuterie and a grass fed tomahawk steak. Seasonal mains can feature vegetable ravioli, pan roasted fish or sirloin with simple sides such as cauliflower gratin, salad and hand cut chips. Sunday roasts include beef, pork, lamb, a mixed meat plate and a mushroom alternative, all served with familiar roast accompaniments.
Desserts range from affogato and lemon shortbread tart to profiteroles, ice cream and a British cheese board, with dessert wines available by the glass or bottle. A dedicated early evening menu suits nearby theatre visits, while regular mini tastings introduce different producers and regions. The combination of restaurant, shop and tasting programme makes Humble Grape a flexible destination for both curious beginners and experienced wine drinkers.
