Quick info
About Alcedo Bistro & Bar
On Holloway Rd, Alcedo Bistro & Bar serves European dishes across a nine-item menu, with tables taken on a walk-in basis. Burrata and seared scallops open the menu, while crispy duck and wild sea trout anchor the mains alongside cod with lentils and spinach, sometimes finished with pancetta. A pea, courgette and broccoli risotto runs alongside pasta and a burger for less formal orders. Seared calves liver also appears, and desserts include chocolate fondant and panna cotta. Wine is poured by the glass or bottle, and waitstaff run table service throughout. The restaurant opens daily, and its position near the Emirates Stadium makes it a stop before or after matches.

“Food is edible, tap water tastes weird, coke has no gas. I’m pretty sure most people are able to make the same pasta dishes with 5 pounds or less and achieve a nicer taste. People were nice, but the food is just a scam.”

“Lovely meal here this Wednesday evening! I had the pea, courgette and broccoli risotto and my wife the cod with pancetta, spinach and lentils. Both delicious and reasonably priced. As was the panna cotta. A good selection of wines by the glass too, including a SA sparkler and a very dry Pfalz riesling. Very attentive but not intrusive service. Recommended!”

“Dropped in here before Arsenal match at the Emirates, got a table straight away. Lovely staff, working hard on a crazy busy match day, but still really efficient and good natured, helping create a fab atmosphere. The pasta and burger food was also really tasty and well cooked. We'll love to come back when it's quieter to explore the menu more 😋👍”

“After a lengthy wait in the rain we finally had a table given to us & absolutely was worth the wait. The service was impeccable, the food was served quickly, & presented & cooked beautifully I had the belly pork which was fantastic & not fatty, served with best mashed potatoes potato I think I’ve ever had. I had a side of seasonal vegetables which again were perfectly cooked. My friend had steak which was huge & very nice seasoned fries. The wine served was very nice, & overall pricing on food & drinks was very reasonable especially considering we were in London. The atmosphere was nice & cosy with a nice rustic feel. If you’re ever in this part of London it’s a big recommendation to dine here- chefs kiss!”

“Had a fantastic meal at Alcedo Bistro! ✨ I regularly go there with my family, and it never disappoints. This time I ordered the cod with lentils and spinach, and it was absolutely delicious. The cod was perfectly cooked — tender, flaky, and full of flavour — paired beautifully with the lentils, which added a lovely earthy richness. The spinach tied everything together, making the dish feel balanced, fresh, and really satisfying. The presentation is always elegant, and you can tell there’s real care and attention in every dish. The atmosphere is calm, welcoming, and perfect for enjoying a meal with family.”
