Salut! Islington is an independent modern European restaurant at 412 Essex Road. The intimate dining room seats around forty guests and places an open kitchen at its centre, creating a relaxed neighbourhood setting where diners can watch each carefully considered plate take shape.
Seasonal ingredients guide a concise menu that balances classic technique with contemporary flavour. Current starters move through charred sweetcorn, bream ceviche, tuna tartare, beef carpaccio and duck roulade, using bright herbs, fruit, pickles and delicate sauces to introduce the meal.
Main courses include chicken with summer vegetables, sirloin steak with dauphinoise potatoes, market fish with risotto and pork belly with squash and red wine jus. Roasted cauliflower provides a thoughtful vegetarian centrepiece, while a large sharing steak gives two diners another way to experience the kitchen.
Desserts such as Eton mess, poached peach and dark chocolate mousse sit beside a European cheese selection. Organic and biodynamic wines are chosen to complement the food, while Sunday dining, outdoor seating in warmer weather and private events broaden Salut!’s role for dates, celebrations and unhurried meals with friends.
