The Best Restaurants in Highgate, Greater London, United Kingdom (2025)

3.75 stars. From the other reviews i was expecting big things and while the meal was fine I wasn't dazzled by amazing food nor large portions. Don't get me wrong this place is a good local Italian but I was expecting something special from all the super positive reviews. Staff were nice. Beer was great!

By far the best pub roast we’ve had in a long time. Almost as good as home cooking . Great quality produce and flavours , generous portions and served nice and hot as it should be . Fantastic service and atmosphere too . Thanks for making our Sunday !

It exceeded our expectations. We went for a pre theatre meal. Everything was pleasant since the time we walked in. There is the pub area and the restaurant area. Both very charming and with a relaxing feeling. The lady found a table for us, although we didn't make a reservation. We ordered vegan dishes and they were one better than the other. Vegan salad as starter, a vegetable paella and lentils as main courses. Every dish was so tasty, especially the paella. I'm not vegan, but I would surely reorder it again. Big portions as well... so go empty stomach. The lady and the waiter were so nice, not just because they had to do it for the sake of the clients, they were genuinely nice smily and funny 😊. I'll definitely go back, and this time will make sure to book a table in advance

Everything was great, in fact, when I was separated from my wife, I used to come to this pub. This wonderful story summarizes its history very well with old photographs. I hope to sit in your garden one day

It was a lovely last-minute choice for Sunday Roast to finally visit The Gatehouse, as we had designs elsewhere, but all were sold out at 5pm (reasonable, obviously!) However, the offerings here exceeded our expectations, and some in our group also had haddock and chips, which was delightfully huge, very well cooked and crispy fish, with plenty of chunky chips. The chicken roast was sublime, gravy was plentiful and meaty, and the veg was as soft and crispy as each carrot, potato, and cabbage leaf should be! The servers were very busy but attentive and friendly, and my only real chagrin was the price was fairly high compared to other local offerings - but that's simply the standard of the venue, so acceptable. All in all, well worth a visit to eat, and it's actually a very popular and nicely laid out pub too!

Was wonderfully warm and cozy inside on a bitterly cold snowy night. Despite being Saturday night we were given a table without booking in advance ( only down side was the strong smell if air freshener here from the loo behind the table). Really polite and friendly table service and decent tasty food( although the kids pizza was a miss). It's layout and clientele mean even when full it's not deafeningly noisy or chaotic but just buzzy enough to feel homely with a nice atmosphere.

This cozy venue was a pleasure to visit. We sat near a fireplace and everyone enjoyed the experience. I had a glass of red wine, but didn’t eat anything. However, what I saw others get looked well prepared. I’ll gladly go back again.

My first visit as people recommend this pub for Sunday roast. It was good roast, good portion and pretty vibes like hidden pub. Especially Yorkshire pudding was amazing! We didn't book in advance and we seated outside. So the service was very slow. I would recommend you to book a table and come by car.
