The food prices are reasonable and the wine is excellent value, £31 for a bottle of Chateauneuf du pape. Tasty food, great wine and a very welcoming and gracious owner really make Chez Tonton a gem of a local restaurant. If you're nearby, or even if you're not it's worth the trip to this great little bistro, it gives Barnét an accent.

Possibly the best french bistro this side of the channel…read more Creme Brulee is the best I have tasted anywhere in the world, although recently I tried the assiette du chef dessert (a little piece of many things) which was equally fantastic, so now i'm torn whenever I go. A meal at Chez Tonton is always an occasion- Eric brings over delicious Kir Royale, and melt in the mouth cubes of garlic bread whilst you select your order. The french onion soup is lovely, as are the rillettes. Lunch is a steal, with 2 and 3 course deals on offer each day. Dinner is somewhat pricier, but worth every penny.

I need to update my review because we went back for dinner and everything was goooorgeous…read more This is a small restaurant and we arrived a bit late on Saturday night (just before 9pm) so they were running out of some of the dishes. I don't mind that though, it must cut down on food waste! I tried the crab and chorizo linguine and it was just perfect! The portion was massive...but it was so tasty that somehow I finished it all.

I could judge Bistro Aix on the dull, loud-voiced idiot who was sat at a neighbouring table…read moretiresomely boring his friends (and us) half to death. But that would probably be unfair. Unfortunately the service on the night was also quite disappointing. After being served by every member of staff at some point during the meal, we had great trouble getting the bill from any of them. It was near the end of the night and everyone seemed to be too busy preparing cutlery and so on for the next day. Also, why do wait staff bring the bill and then walk away for another 10 minutes? Do they think it takes that much time to remove a credit card from a wallet? Once the bill was paid, there was no sign of our waiter bringing the coats he had kindly stashed away for us on entering. So I had to go up and request those as well, and on leaving there was not so much as a goodbye, thanks for coming. French restaurant, British service, it seems. On the plus side the food was pretty good, if overpriced in my opinion. And call me old-fashioned, but after three courses I expect to feel full, and on this occasion I didn't. My duck breast was good if unremarkable, but the calamari was excellent. High marks for the ice cream which came with the profiteroles, as well. The dining room has a relaxed, seductively-lit atmosphere and is good for a romantic meal - just ask to be seated away from large groups when you book, perhaps, and wear bright clothing to remind the wait staff of your existence.

After passing 'Melange' a few times and then glancing at the somewhat small menu we decided to give it a try one evening. WOW! It's good! It's really good!! I'm often let down by UK restaurants, even the pricey ones but Melange does something very well it provides food that has been lovingly prepared by someone who knows exactly what they are doing. I had the steak and chips. Perfect. Excellent meat, fantastic chips and the entire plate was bursting with flavour. My wife had a chicken dish and loved it. The food is fairly rich / substantial and has bags of flavour and character. Today I popped in for a small breakfast Eggs florentine with an Americano, £5.90 not bad at all. Melange is honest, simple and a fantastic addition to Crouch End. Please support a local restaurant and pay them a visit!

I love cheese so, for me, the baked Camembert is heavenly. The lamb shanks always appear popular. They have a kids menu and the usual colouring tools are provided to keep them occupied - their meals are also reasonably sized and the ice cream is delish (quality checked and approved by yours truly). Can you have a romantic family meal? If you get a table to the rear of the restaurant, I think so.

Although Cafe Rouge is a chain restaurant, they really offer excellent French food, and not in the fancy tablecloth way you would usually think of when you hear 'French restaurant', but in a very relaxed, casual setting. Surprisingly good portion sizes too! We ordered two orders of garlic bread to share as an appetizer, between the four of us, and it was wayyy too much, especially on top of our other food. I also had a beautiful dish of leeks, mushrooms, and I'm not sure what else in cream sauce, with bread. Surprisingly light and delicately flavored for a cream dish, really outstanding.
