Briefly

This Islington wine bar is officially the best date spot in London for Valentine's Day 2026
"Sat in a nineteenth century pub, the wine bar is hip without being pretentious, sultry without being intense and low-key without being boring. Time Out contributor Daniela Toporek paid Godet a visit back in October. She said that Godet 'can easily be spotted by its peachy-pink exterior and checkered curtains' and that, inside, the 'the vibes ridiculously cool', with vinyl DJs playing funk, soul, disco and house at a reasonable volume (one that doesn't force you to yell at one another in a deeply unromantic way)."
"For drinks, Godet has a constantly rotating menu of French reds, whites and oranges as well as flutes of champagne for £14 a pop. The food is courtesy of nomadic Cantonese-inspired kitchen Ling Ling's, which will call the Islington bar home throughout 2026. Time Out's food and drink editor Leonie Cooper gave its dishes five stars and called it 'one of the best places to eat in London right now'."
Godet occupies a nineteenth-century pub in Islington and combines a sultry yet low-key atmosphere with hip, unpretentious style. The exterior is peachy-pink with checkered curtains, and vinyl DJs play funk, soul, disco and house at a moderate volume. The drinks list features a rotating selection of French reds, whites and orange wines, plus flutes of champagne for £14. A nomadic Cantonese-inspired kitchen, Ling Ling's, will be based at the bar throughout 2026, offering dishes such as hot and spicy tartare, Sichuan hibiscus octopus, turnip cakes, mala beef ragu with udon and steamed prawn, chicken or Thai basil wontons. Matcha and white chocolate tiramisu is available for dessert.
