Granita (restaurant)

Granita (restaurant)

Granita was a restaurant in Islington, London, England. It has a certain prominence in British politics, as in late May 1994 it was the setting for the alleged "Blair-Brown deal" between the then shadow Home Secretary Tony Blair and the then shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown.

Granita was located at 127 Upper Street and closed in 2004. Tex-Mex cantina Desperados is the current occupant.
