About
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, guests can spill out into the bar, ready for a Champagne toast and speeches. Food is a big pull here – just ask the Michelin Guide. 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 a Tuscan Brunello di Montalcino from Ciacci 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.
