Square Meal review of Frederick's: ? Write your review

Islington’s residents have dined at this family-run restaurant on pretty Camden Passage for 40 years, so Frederick’s must be doing something right. One of its assets is a carefully honed menu of British & continental crowd-pleasers ‘with a sophisticated finish’. Duck confit with marinated cherries & watercress salad, or Scottish smoked salmon, might precede côte de boeuf or pan-fried cod fillet with fennel, chilli, lemon & thyme. To finish, there are puddings such as passion-fruit Pavlova, or a cheeseboard backed by the extensive wine list. Prices are high enough to suggest a certain level of class without requiring a second mortgage, & service is mainly efficient & polite. Frederick’s is a good-looking place, with brocade sofas in the refined front bar, modern art displayed around the lofty conservatory, & a hidden garden at the back that’s a truly romantic alfresco spot.

We recently attended a reunion dinner at Frederick's. It went really well and my party (all friends from University ) were very impressed with the restaurant and the service and food. It was fabulous to be around one round table as it gave us a good chance to converse easily and the setting and ambience is very good. I have eaten there in the past and would have no problem in recommending the restaurant again:

Fredericks is an Islington fixture and one of the three best restaurants in N1 along with Almedia and Morgan M. It’s well positioned as a reliable local but with mid-to-fine dining food. The menu consists of lots of British/continental crowd pleasers with a sophisticated finish.

Decor is fine but not particularly modern. Service is also fine, but always provides an enjoyable experience. Can be a bit chilly in the garden room but gorgeous in the summer.

Overall – a great upmarket local and one I go back to over and over again

Visited Fredericks for an early lunch on a Saturday. Not much atmosphere early on but by the time we left the place was filling up & it felt more lived in.
We went for the set lunch, options were reduced & so was the price, but the food was tasty & well presented. Great wine list. Our table was situated in the conservatory & at times felt a little cold. It would also benefit having the roof cleaned as when the sun shined through the perspex roof, it was awfully dirty which didn't compliment the surroundings.
