all hail sabretooth: the restaurant

Perched on the Islington-Barnsbury border, this memorably named spot effortlessly bridges the gap between relaxed daytime café and something more ambitious after dark. The tongue-in-cheek branding sets the tone for a place that doesn't take itself too seriously, yet clearly takes its food and hospitality seriously enough to keep locals coming back. It's the kind of all-day haunt that feels equally right for a quick coffee or a long, lingering dinner.
