• Modern European • Winchmore Hill

Booked 7 times today

Carlos@b&v brings the finer side of dining and service to this unique little part of North London, on the Green in Winchmore Hill, a stone's throw from the mainline station of the same name and a short drive from Southgate on the end of the Piccadiily Line. Carlos himself is a restauranteur with flair, having built a reputation in the area over 30 years and so his experience with executing a dynamic and slick establishment brings much to be excited about. Guests will get that familiar 'welcome back' feeling even if they happen to be newcomers. The interiors are comfortably chic but inviting, with a warm ambience and the atmosphere is busy and vibrant. Live music and niche little magic entertainers are a regular occurrence. With an open alfresco feel in the summer, looking out on to the Green itself and a pavement terrace in warmer months too. The menu is Modern European with a specials menu that changes regularly and plenty of choice on the drinks and cocktail menu.

9. Tollington's

4.7

Exceptional(202)

$$$$

• Fish • Holloway

Booked 28 times today

A small fish restaurant from the Four Legs team (The Plimsoll). A love letter to Spain and Portugal and the inspiration for all of the wet rice dishes now found across menus in the city. Viva la Inspiración. Tired of the loosely French inspired humdrum of restaurants popping up across the city of London? Do you like holidays? Do you like cold drinks and warm service? If you've answered yes to one or more of these then perhaps Tollington's can refresh both your palate and mind.The idea came from a mirror in an antiques market and a love for a more informal approach to dining, the result a chippy in North London with church pews bolted to the walls to be leaned on and eaten from. The focus is on fish but the menu transcends just fish, leaving no stone unturned in the never ending quest for flavour. In the warmer months the pavement becomes alive with customers and the food reflects the weather. In winter people huddle indoors and enjoy the heartier mountain foods of Iberia.

10. Westerns Laundry

The food was super tasty and I have to hand it to the waitress. She was the most patient and knowledgeable waitress I’ve ever met! She helped someone in our party with their many awkward food intolerances brilliantly. Thank you!!

We had breakfast here one morning, it was so perfectly cooked, we returned that evening for dinner. Everything was piping hot, fresh ingredients, generous portions. Excellent full English breakfast, the smoothies were delicious and the pizza looked outstanding. Definitely recommend if you are looking for high quality Italian cuisine and even a good fry up. 10/10 from me and my family
