Oui Madame

Oui Madame is a modern European restaurant in Highbury & Islington that does the whole elegant, low-key thing pretty well. The menu is built around seasonal, Mediterranean-inspired plates, ranging from snacky sardine bruschetta to seafood orzotto and lamb rack. Most dishes strike a sweet spot between refined and still enjoyable to eat. The room is relaxed and polished, making it perfect for a glass of wine and a couple of plates, or a longer dinner if you have the time. Expect thoughtful cooking, a focused wine list and a calm, date-friendly atmosphere.
