About Brasserie La Trouvaille
The warm gallic welcome, the authentic French bistro cooking, the vrai
gallic ambience has arrived in Islington and the denizens of N1 have been skipping down the street with joy. The exterior’s wooden frontage, huge glass windows are just perfect. Inside, the ambience and menu are just as true. Relax in the sofas by the wine bar with a French tapas and a glass of Corsican wine or dine in the restaurant. Try starter of aubergine tart with honey and goat cheese, main course of duck confit with green pepper sauce and sautéed potatoes, and for pud real chocolate mousse. A great place recommended by the Michelin guide (1 Fork) and for its unusual and creative wine list from south of France. The staff are friendly and, frankly, so are the prices. A great place.
