Tucked along the vibrant stretch of Upper Street in Islington, the Hoxley & Porter Menu is a delightful surprise for those seeking a unique blend of sophistication, global flavours, and vintage charm. At 153 Upper St, London N1 1RA, this establishment sets itself apart with a concept that merges Edwardian elegance with adventurous cuisine, and its menu reflects that fusion brilliantly.
From the outset, the cocktail list reads like a passport to faraway lands. Each drink is expertly crafted with a story behind it, showing clear attention to detail and mixology skill. Their house cocktails, such as the gin-forward “Empire of India” or the rum-rich “Dark & Stormy No.2,” are as visually striking as they are flavourful. For those who enjoy pairing drinks with small bites, the bar menu offers curated nibbles like crispy calamari and aromatic duck rolls that balance taste and texture well.
The main courses on the Hoxley & Porter menu continue the global expedition-think Moroccan lamb tagine with apricot couscous, or pan-roasted sea bass with Mediterranean vegetables and saffron butter. Each dish is plated with finesse, and portion sizes strike a good balance between indulgent and refined. Vegetarian and vegan options are also thoughtfully crafted, not just added as an afterthought.
Service is attentive without being intrusive, and the ambience-ornate interiors, intimate lighting, and eclectic décor-complements the dining experience in a way that feels immersive. Prices are mid-to-high range but justified by the quality and creativity on offer.
In comparison to other restaurants in Islington, Hoxley & Porter delivers a dining experience that feels curated rather than formulaic. It’s ideal for date nights, small gatherings, or anyone wanting to escape the ordinary. This is not just another restaurant-it’s an experience with culinary storytelling at its core.
