Such a great visit ! I was just visiting and stopped for the Benedict eggs, and what a great idea it was. The place is exceptionally decorated. Great place for a quick bite
The first place I visit for a breakfast for an English breakfast when step foot into London. Most certainly one of the nicest places to spend a sunday morning...
the chickpea burger thing they sell at the counter is amazing, their orange, ginger and carrot is amazing and you mustn't leave the place with tasting their Banoffee Pie .. oh and their chicken sausage breakfast is good. their smoothies, and banger mash with loads and loads of gravy..
We passed The Blue Legume and our attention was caught by the intimate and cosy setting inside. The manager saw us and came out to say hi and give us a flyer offering a glass of wine complimentary with our meal. We were sold. Not necessarily because of the freeness, but because he wasn’t pushy and he seemed genuinely welcoming.
Fresh apple juice: brilliant! Ginger and beetroot juice: ummm...I would try something else. Penne pasta: menu says light cream sauce, but definitely not light... Although tasty, far from nutritious. Tertiyaki salmon salad: muy rico! Very good. Highly recommend. Flavorful and fresh. Music: S African beats. Ambiance: sidewalk patio open and could watch passerbys, but unfortunately smoke from folks next door wafted over to out table inside near front. Service: standard. Recommendation: would come again.
Yummo!. Great breakfast, with very prompt service. had the Cumberland Sausage breakfast (plenty of baked beans!). Second time around had the Hashbrown breakie, which was more scrumptious than the previous, plenty of scrambled egg, and great hash!
It’s always worth making sure you have plenty of time if you’re planning a visit. The staff are very sweet but don’t move very quickly, so it’s a good thing if you’re going for a good gas.
Having a meal with a baby in tow is always a challenge. Not only is having an intelligent conversation a technical impossibility, you'd probably have to take turns preventing utensils from flying all over while shoving bits of food into your mouth in the most efficient manner. That pretty much defeats the point of dining out. Interestingly, parents with young children are the most desperate to dine out as such opportunities are hard to come by. Contrary to the popular belief, there is no such thing as setting a so called 'routine' for young ones, especially if rationality has yet to be comprehended. Instead, parents find themselves adjusting to their kids' routine - no dinners after 8pm, no long lunches, no leisure breakfasts. The Blue Legume , after establishing its flagship restaura
The Blue Legume is a gem of a place with lovely staff and good quality food!
The Blue Legume is a lovely restaurant with great service; however, the food is good but fairly average. The decor of the restaurant is rustic and cute with pots and pans hanging from the exposed brick walls and botanical illustrations is wooden frames. The waiters are friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is really nice. I definitely recommend this place for its atmosphere, I was there for breakfast over the weekend and I really enjoyed taking my time and chatting.
The menu; however, is a bit odd. It seems like they've tried to combine too many kinds of cuisines and you really cannot decide on what you should be eating because you cannot tell what their speciality is supposed to be. The breakfast food is good, I had a french toast with plum compote and it was quite tasty.

So there I am, on a beautiful warm Sunday, sitting at home by myself. Impossible. I decide that I need to go out ASAP and just do something. And what’s better than treating myself to a nice lunch. Yes, I’m one of those people that doesn’t mind eating by herself and, in fact, loves it.
I started walking down Upper Street, without any clue as to where to sit down. The reason why I chose Blue Legume, was simply because of the open front - seemed like exactly what I was looking for.
Decided to go for an egg white omelette and the Spirulina smoothie. Omelette was light and exactly as it should be, but I think I was more grateful for the potatoes that came along with it - very very well seasoned. I was, however, completely blown away by the smoothie - love the fact that it was green, not too sweet and so refreshing. Wouldn’t mind having it on a daily basis.
I finished all of that pretty quickly and since I didn’t want to just head back home, I had a second look at the menu and finally found another excuse to stay. Ordered the apple crumble and some coffee to get rid of the sleepiness that was about to hit me. Nothing out of the ordinary here, except the fact that the crumble, was clearly microwaved. Was initially disappointed, but somehow it didn’t ruin my experience.
Staff was very nice and receptive, no issues there, and unlike most times when I go for a meal by myself, there were no awkward stares. I felt pretty comfortable and happy after the entire meal, and that’s why I was back 2 weeks later with a friend for more.
Would happily visit over and over again.
We were walking by and jumped in after a quick glance at the menu. The food was excellent (definitely do the octopus and chorizo) but it was outdone by the service. Great recommendations, honest conversation, and really was refreshing to get that kind of service in London. Will certainly be back next time I'm in the area.
The Blue Legume is a very nice brunch place. They have a daily selection of appetising stuffed vegetables and tarts that you can choose from. It took me 30 minutes to decide what I wanted because everything looked delicious and then I was not disappointed by the result. The atmosphere is warm and comfy. I would recommend the blue legume on a rainy day where you just feel like warming up in a cosy place. In the summer the terrace is also available.
Overall, a really nice little cafe. The menu had so much choice. Coffee was quite nice and there were dairy-free alternative milks on offer (at a cost). The staff were friendly and the service was fast. I had poached eggs and bacon on toast. When it arrived, I had to ask for butter to put on the toast as it was un-buttered sourdough topped with poached eggs and bacon. Once I had loaded this on however, it was nice enough. Nothing to write home about, not not a bad place. Nice decor and a great spot.
I’ll definitely be back as there is so much on the menu that I’d love to try! The food is delicious, and the portion sizes are good. The decor is lovely, and the staff were knowledgeable and accommodating for all of our questions and dietary needs. My only reservation is that it seems to take them a while to come over to the table. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I look forward to returning.
I tried the pancakes and can vouch for their taste! Their scrambled eggs side was £2.5 and the portion was big. I'll be back to try out more of their menu when I'm next in the area.
I live around the area and I always wanted to try it and finally I got in by chance yesterday evening.
The food has Turkish influence despite the name being Italian. The selection is varied and there is a plate for every taste. Portions are good and food is tasty. I particularly liked the legume hummus and the aubergine with yoghurt and feta cheese.
Prices are very reasonable. The atmosphere is chill and staff very nice and friendly. Recommended!

The place is nice, close to the station and nice street to walk around. The food was good except for the acai bowl that had waaay too much sugar (for the granola)
I had never heard of The Blue Legume Islington before but after I went to their restaurant and listened to the local band, I was hooked. They have live music Wednesday,Thursday, Friday-night until the early hours and the food is fantastic. It's a really cool venue and if you love Mediterranean cuisine or live music then it's perfect for you!
The Blue Legume Islington is the best restaurant in my neighborhood. I go there often and enjoy both the live music during dinner and the amazing food. It's a great place to go for a date, family outing, or just to drink with your friends. I highly recommend it!
Lovely surroundings, great food, excellent staff. We were surprised with very nice live music which elevated our dining experience. The only flaw was that we ordered the ribeye medium well but it was closer to medium, however it was still very flavorful and very fresh. Definitely a place to recommend and revisit!
Nice place, efficient staff, all day breakfast are great, coffee was good atmosphere was pleasantly buzzing. Good choice for the grand kids. Not silly pricing.
Blue legume is one of our favourites in the neighborhood. Food is good and brunch time is recommended. Service us great and atmosphere is very cosy.
We go there almost every weekend for a little bite.
The food can be a bit or a miss.. which is a little bit disappointing because you would want the consistency and the quality to be always the same. However, still one of our favourites.
Great prices, the decor is very nice and the staff is super friendly.
