★★★★½ 9.0/10 (2 check-ins)
The Plimsoll in Finsbury Park is a "proper boozer" turned culinary legend, famous for the Four Legs chefs’ Dexter cheeseburger. Beyond that cult classic, the daily-changing menu leans into European-inspired small plates like fried potatoes with pungent aioli, grilled whole sole, and beef cheek pappardelle. Expect an unpretentious, high-energy atmosphere with mismatched floral china and a top-tier selection of natural wines and Guinness. It is the ultimate hybrid of a gritty local pub and a world-class kitchen.
