I'll be staying in Islington/St. Pancras for a while. Where are good places to eat? Pubs with less conventional brews or scotches?

---

If you're engrossed in Scotch, The Queen's Head on Acton Street has a rather nice selection, as well as the best porter I've ever had. The Lexington on Pentonville Road also has a bulky bourbon selection, but not sure if you're keen on that.

---

Nice, I love dark beers. Do you recollect the name of it? And I do like a good bourbon too (more consistently than scotch honestly - I don't like peat)

---

Hope Cafe for breakfast.

Anything in particular to try?

---

everything you want.

2 Recommendations from me:

1) Antepliler - http://www.anteplilerrestaurant.com/main/

2) Afghan Kitchen Restaurant - http://www.squaremeal.co.uk/restaurants/london/view/83744/Afghan_Kitchen

Both my personal faves, and if you're coming in May, another option to try will be a place called Wahaca who are opening a restaurant in Islington, hopefully, next month. - http://www.wahaca.co.uk/

The Euston Tap for beer

---

you're going to want to starve yourself a little before visiting

---

If you want interesting beer, try the Craft Beer Co on White Lion St.

I haven't tried it, but John Salt on upper St sounds interesting. Run by the former chef of Pitt Cue Co. Kind of upscale BBQ
