Oldroyd - Menu

The new restaurant from the former Polpo/Polpetto head honcho!!! It reminds me of Polpetto but with a little bit of French touch.

Sweetbreads were close to classic - seared to have a slight crisp, still tender on the inside, with a little citrus or vinegar in the sauce to lighten the

"Savoring a truly delightful lunch on Monday at Old Roys was an experience of simplicity, beauty, and elegance. It is the perfect choice for a civilized dining occasion."

The food at this restaurant was delicious. The roasted artichoke with aioli, porchetta, and roasted beetroot were all beautifully prepared. The ambiance was intimate. My only criticism is that the portion sizes could be larger.

A very small, cosy restaurant that was the perfect place for five friends to spend the evening. The wine on special was perfectly full-bodied, all of the food was delicious (braised oxtail croquettes, anchovy butter, wild mushroom tagliatelle, feta mousse... . The service was very attentive. Overall the evening was lovely, and we will definitely be back!

Slight wrinkle in that OpenTable did not know that the restaurant does not open until 6:00PM, but the host called us well in advance to ask if we still wanted to dine with them. Our 7:30 curtain at Sadler's Wells theater made it essential to dine from 6:00PM to 7:10PM, and we had a wonderful meal, including dessert (but we elected to skip coffee) in that amount of time without rushing. Superb service made that possible. The food was magnificent, no wonder it's so hard to book. Also, there are only about 12 or 15 tables! It was a great pleasure to eat at Oldroyd.

Oldroyd is the sort of restaurant everyone, in a perfect world, would have nearby. Imaginative food, friendly staff and a small but good wine list. I've tended to go on meatless Mondays but a mid-week trip found quite a few vegetarian favourites reprised (the wondrous grilled aubergine with a garlicky sauce and pickled shallots, and a splendid nutty topping for a halved head of chicory, for example). This time we added a monkfish and shrimp dish and a sliced of pork loin. All lovingly done. And to deduct the price of a bottle of wine for a minor mess-up with the booking shows pretty classy customer service. If you've not been, give it a try, and a pocket-size delight.

I wouldn’t have found this little gem had it not for the OpenTable. I was looking for a casual yet value for money place with original and healthy food near Angel area to meet an old friend. I was really pleased that I found this place. The lunch menu for £10 consists of four different dishes to choose from all of which sounds healthy and interesting. My friend and I chose poached sardine fillets of buttered cale, spinach and ricotta malfatti and sourdough bread with anchovie butter as a side which were all delicious. A bottle of French white was reasonable and went well with food. This is a tiny cafe restaurant and wooden tables and chairs are not so comfortable and not suitable for a big g...

we enjoyed eating here very much. the combination of aromen was interesting and stimulating. the staff was beautiful and worried that we should enjoy our dinner. but it was a cold evening and the curtain around the door was little to keep the cold in the bay. my partner sat with her back to the wall so that the cold did not feel. I had my back to the curtain around the door and was just progressiw, inconspicuously colder when the dinner went (the dining room below is in fact very small, but this is just a function where the restaurant is, and there is, as I later discovered, a dining room on the top floor). I think oldroyd needs a warm air curtain to cut the cold design that comes in, or may...
