About

Michelin-approved Bellanger brings the neighbourhood Parisian brasserie to its lucky corner of Islington. Counting The Wolseley and The Delaunay as older siblings, the Bellanger unbuttons a bit while maintaining singular polish in an Art Deco style. In Bellanger’s private room, that fits 75, you have an intimate, naturally-lit space for a wedding ceremony, panelled with wrap-around antique mirrors and mahogany parquet flooring. After, a champagne reception on the terrace; guests can spill out onto a sun-soaked pavement (sheltered under Bellanger’s iconic retro awning), ready for toasts and speeches. Food is a big pull here; Southern French-inspired wedding breakfasts are seasonally considered, but choices include dressed Dorset crab to start, seared scallops with Crémant de Loire Beurre Blanc, and a signature Tarte Tatin to finish. There is a thoughtfully put-together wine list to boot; you can always find Château de la Mirande Picpoul de Pinet from Languedoc or Bourgogne Pinot Noir from Domaine Chanson included. Suppliers can be freely brought in to your specification, and if a gargantuan guest list is what you seek, there’s the possibility of hiring out the whole restaurant and enjoying the spoils of exclusive use.
