Located just outside Totteridge and Whetstone station this little cafe is situated in a fantastic place to grab a cuppa before jumping on the tube or getting the various busses that pass by. The staff that work there are always polite and efficient and make a fantastic cup of tea.

We were around in North Finchley for a play at arts depot when came across this gem of a place for brunch. Their salad bowls tempted me to go inside but the menu had a lot of my favourite breakfast dishes so I ended up ordering Shakshouka that tasted quite similar to how I cook this dish at home. Do try it! The baguettes were delicious too. Staff here were super attentive and friendly with great sense of humour. It was good to see them all enjoy their work and try to put a smile on everyone’s faces and maintain great vibes. Highly recommend visiting here. Although it’s out of the way and we don’t normally go to Finchley but we might go again just to enjoy some breakfast here.

Absolute gem of a place. All halal menu which is very rare for artisan cafe. Thank you for such a lovely breakfast. Plenty paid parking outside and menu is decently priced. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Food - incredible, I felt like I’m going to heaven while I was eating, the coffee was amazing also, we really regret we didn’t find this place sooner Staff - the nicest people I probably met in whole London, they are fast with delivering your order to your table The place is a little small which i don’t like generally but here I don’t really mind it’s a really nice and comfortable and safe place. Can’t wait to come back there ❤️

Lovely place in North Finchley with a such impressive service (super quick and friendly) also the food was amazing! The place is not massive, but there is a quick turnover of clients, so the wait is not very long when there aren't seats. I def recommend it 👌

Family run Italian restaurant in North London, authentic feel, Umberto Tozzi's Gloria playing in the background while an old Italian couple sitting up front watched the world go by. Amazing food, service hot and quick. Highly recommended.
Rating: 5 / 5
Fantastic customer service, delicious food and tasty wine. Prawns in garlic butter were tender and fresh, chicken liver pâté was light and full of flavour and cured meat platter had nice selection of meats. Primitivo red wine was fruity with a very slight sweet aftertaste and their house white refreshing and easy to drink. Tiramisu and polenta lemon cake were also delicious. If I want to fault only one thing , I would say fried calamaris were a bit chewy and rubbery however, not greasy which is really good.They offered us amaretto on the house which is really a nice gesture from the restaurant.

One of the nicest Italian meals I've had in a long time. We went at an awkward time (after lunch but before dinner). Food absolutely yummy - all the starters , mains and ice cream dessert. And loved the Italian music as well.

We were celebrating my daughter's birthday. The food and the service was excellent. Very polite and friendly staff too.
Rating: 5 / 5
Fabulous restaurant serving food full of flavour in a restaurant close to Totteridge and Whetstone station. Staff are friendly and accommodating, plenty of choices for vegetarians like me! Opted for the veggie platter to start with (swapped the fish for olives) and for main course I went for the vegetable moussaka which was a big portion, I couldn't finish the rice. Definitely recommend, you will not be disappointed I will definitely return.
Rating: 4 / 5
We ate here for dinner earlier this week and although I have dined in many a Turkish restaurants, Ive never dined in one like this. I got to experience the ambience of a great atmosphere and authentic turkish cuisine. Not only was it the real deal but it totally rocked. (Im not sure about the Raki which is an acquired taste) But the service was off the charts. Would I eat there again? Absolutely. Should you? The answer should be a ressounding yes.
Rating: 5 / 5
My sister recommended we eat lunch at Izgara, I haven't been before but will definitely be going again. The food was so delicious, the service was great and the restaurant itself is beautiful and clean. We had the set menu which is 2 courses for under £16 (bargain!) I'm a vegetarian so I had the Zucchini fritters to start and the Vegetarian Moussaka for my main. Both were delicious and the portions are very generous. I also had a gorgeous pomegranate mojito. My daughter had the chicken shish and as you can see there was barely anything left. Thank you for a wonderful lunch!

Lovely and welcoming service! Mix platter was spot on with really tender meat although from the description I was expecting more in quantity and all the starters were delicious. Great experience will be back soon to try more!

Wow! What an incredible experience we had at Matthew’s kitchen today. Every dish was absolutely delicious… the best octopus I’ve ever eaten, fresh whole seabass, mixed grill. Anna and Matthew were fantastic at looking after us - nothing was too much trouble! Thank you. We will definitely be back.
Rating: 5 / 5
Went for the first time yesterday with my mum, absolutely stellar experience! Was well looked after by staff and nothing I asked for was too much for them, they were more than happy to help and the food was so delicious, can’t wait to work my way down the menu! Thank you once again ❤️
Rating: 4 / 5
The champagne and desserts were of exceptional quality, however, the food was rather mediocre. The oysters contained numerous shell fragments, and the octopus was excessively oily, making it unpalatable. The oysters were clearly not cleaned properly. While I would recommend this restaurant, I would suggest trying different menu items.
Rating: 5 / 5
Thank you to Mathew’s Kitchen, What a fantastic restaurant! Starting with 5* Shellfish soup, smooth and full of flavour, special starter of razor clams, and tiger prawns, followed by a speical wild seabass sharing for two and a doversole. Honestly a MASTERCLASS! Can’t wait to visit again.

Malt and Hops

This has always been on of my favourite pubs in North Finchley. Sadly was closed for about 7 years but I'm pleased to see that it's now reopened with a fresh new look. They have nice looking food selection now, but for me and my pals most important is great staff providing friendly genial service. New bosses are a really nice couple and entertained us difficult customers while we sampled all the new selection of spirits. Will be hassling them again soon 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🍺🍺🍺🍷🍷🍷 Have subsequently hassled them again a number of times, they have now opened a new look beer garden and outside bar which is a fantastic sun trap. Also there are regular Open Mic nights which are a lot of fun. Love this pub 😍😍😍 Was another great open mic yesterday 😍

We needed somewhere for two adults, two kids and a dog to grab a bite to eat before travelling home after a busy day. We're so pleased we found the Malt and Hops! Very friendly welcome from all the lovely staff members and no problem bringing the dog in. Great menu with very reasonably priced options for both us and the kids. We all thought our food was delicious and the team were so attentive, always making sure that all was OK. The football was on which was great for our son. Really friendly atmosphere from the staff and the other customers, some were clearly regulars and we can see why. Thanks for being the perfect stop off, we will definitely be back next time we are in London :-)

They have a pretty delicious Sunday roast. The chicken was so tasty and the cauliflower as well. Hey, dessert is included!!! Pistachio ice cream is quite nice!! Also the service was fantastic!! We really enjoy it.
Rating: 4 / 5
Had a Sunday roast there recently. The service was excellent and the food was really tasty. It was very good value in that it included a desert. It was only let down by the lack of vegetables. On my plate there was only 2 thin slices of carrot and one piece of broccoli. This was the same experience all round the table .

The French Market - Whetstone

Rating: 4.6 (226) Price Level:
Nice shop with French products from cheeses to meat products to jams etc. They also have a bakery inside, and there is a nice wine selection. The variety in the bakery was pretty nice but the cheese and meat products selection was pretty modest in my opinion. It was also clear by some cheese slices that they spent a lot of times waiting for their buyer. Prices are pretty high. It’s one of few spots with French products in the larger area though

We used to live locally but have since moved away, and I wanted to place an order for delivery. The website didn’t have everything I was after so I sent an email listing the sort of things I was after and asked if they’d pick and post it for me. They got back to me the following day and Rease who we dealt with was so kind, friendly and attentive. He sent photos of the items he picked and again to show how it was all packaged. I’ve actually been really touched by the fantastic ‘old fashioned’ style customer service. It’s been a brilliant reminder of why we should support local small businesses. Thanks Rease, you’re a gem, as as it the shop as a whole. Thank you!
Rating: 5 / 5
A place for all things French in North London - bakery and cheese items plus store cupboard items. Lots of jam, wine etc. I came here for the bakery - ordered the baguettes, croissants and chouquettes. The shop assistant offered 2 types of baguette - crispy and soft - I ordered both and the soft is still crispy! Both are good. I was keen to try the almond croissant but none when I visited on a weekday late afternoon. The plain croissant had good flavour and flakiness. There is good public transport - tube and buses - nearby. I will be back!!

Beautiful shop with French local producers. Amazing unique cheeses:Ecume de Wimereux with truffles, mimolette de la Cote d'Opale, Pave de Calais, petit Sable de Wissant. So tasty, delicious and Divine
Rating: 5 / 5
Wow , just wow. I went into this place by chance as I parked opposite it and thought I all have a look. And I ended up buying a lot of food. The quality of the baguette is exactly what you find in France the cured ham was better then any Spanish ham I have had. The butter was up there with the best I have had. In terms of food they don't have a huge selection but what they have is excellent. That staff are really friendly and nice they have French speaking staff as it makes the experience authentic. I will definitely go back

A warm welcome, great service, food was excellent. My chicken pasta with mushroom sauce was yummy. My four friends were just very happy with their food too. Reasonable prices also. I will definitely revisit to try more dishes from the varied menu. Top marks!

We love this place. When my partner and I don't feel like cooking and want a laid-back place with great food we come here. The owner is really friendly and the menu has just the right amount of variety. Even though we are always full we still get a dessert. The Jamaican rum cake and bread pudding (when available) are a must. They are dog-friendly which is a plus!

Just stopped here on the off chance while charging EV next door. The food was delicious, had the Chicken Schnitzel Holstein, the chicken was beautifully tender while the coating of breadcrumbs was satisfyingly crispy. We will certainly visit again, highly recommend. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This restaurant/ cafe is a gem. I'd normally give an establishment like this a wide berth when the menu is ridiculously huge, from an amazing full English breakfast to a salt beef sandwich, spaghetti bolognaise, to a salad nicoise , everything is absolutely excellent! Definitely not a restaurant to go to on a first date but wow tremendous food!

Just the best evening ever at Hakuna Matata. The new Spanish head chef is an expert in his field cooking wonderful Tapas, all freshly cooked to order using the finest ingredients, such fantastic flavours! We always used to go into Central London for our evenings out but now the West End has come to Whetstone!! Andreas is an expert mixologist who has worked in many cities around the world simply makes the finest cocktails you will ever taste. He is an artist taking such care in creating every cocktail, you will not find better. The service is so friendly and attentive and the atmosphere extraordinary with the base music system playing fantastic sounds.

Excellent customer service. attentive and helpful staff . Alba who served us was fantastic and knowledgeable. Anything she recommended was fabulous and was an honest recommendation. She knew all about the food and drinks. Grilled squid was fresh and tasty. Crab cake was delicious and tiger prawns were very fresh. For main we had ribeye stake and chicken scallop. Both were fresh and tender. We definitely go again. Their Greek white wine was slightly sweet and easy to drink.

Sooo glad I have this wonderful and beautiful little bar in my local area. I had visited twice and always in aura of the atmosphere with the glittering lights and modern diverse dance music. 2nd visit was during happy hour and the drinks are delicious! Excellently created and not overpowering. Great place for couples or just catching up with friends. No tackiness in this place! Just pure lovely. Table service and the hosts are wonderful and hardworking. :-)

Fantastic customer service and attentive staff. brilliant selection of wine, cocktails and other alcohol drinks.we enjoyed alcohol drinks, desert wine and club sandwich which was really fulfilling and generous portion. Long Island iced tea cocktail and Italian dessert wine Visciolata were delicious. Kat who kindly served us was very knowledgeable about their menu and we very much liked her recommendations. Julius, the owner, is very humble and welcoming. It was our first time and we really enjoyed it. Nice ambience whether you just want to have a drink at the bar or dine. I liked the setting. We would definitely go back.

Had an amazing night here enjoying 'Freddie Mercury ' night. Great atmosphere.
Rating: 4 / 5
I personally like the atmosphere and service. In terms of food quality, we have only tried the Steak sandwich and chicken roast, so it’s a bit early to provide a full comment on the food. I will try more dishes since I was generally happy with my previous orders. So this review and score will be updated. Stay tuned folks!

Attended a joint 60th birthday celebration. The event was held in a space separate from the main restaurant (also bland in decor relying on large planters) with neutral decor, not really giving an atmosphere of any kind but relying on table decorations. Staff are professional, and the service provided is of a high standard. Food is of exceptional quality, and care is also taken when presented at the table. Parking is on the street, which on a Sunday is less of a challenge, being able to park on single yellow lines.
