We had a lovely late brunch and were pleasantly surprised with the food, service and atmosphere. The food was delicious and all of the waitstaff were extremely attentive. It’s such a stark contrast from the restaurant that was here before them. We really hope they are successful and stay for the long haul. The breakfast roll was outstanding as was the eggs Benedict and bites of Meaa. We will be coming back for dinner soon and can’t wait to see what they have in store then.

went out to eat and came across this new restaurant the decor was spectacular and drew us in. The food was amazing, the chicken fillet so soft and the carrots were just so delicious. I also tried my sisters lamb chops and it was amazing everyone was made to perfection. The dessert was absolutely amazing, the staff were so friendly, we are so happy to be so local and within walking distance to this place. Mical, sen and Selena were brilliant. I had to ask for names as I was just in awe of the whole service! Good customer service and food goes a long way.

I had the pleasure of interacting with MEAA staff members in the restaurant and their service was truly exceptional. The waitresses are polite, professional, and incredibly patient, even while managing multiple guests simultaneously. They were warm demeanour and attention to detail made our stay lovely. They went above and beyond to ensure all my questions were answered and even provided helpful suggestions to enhance my food choices. It’s rare to encounter such a high level of professionalism paired with genuine kindness, after we had our new test brunch they offered us a free test of their freshly made pastries with a yummy creamy taste and I highly recommend them for outstanding service!

Blac Restaurant and Lounge – Perfect for Celebrations! I recently celebrated my birthday at Blac Restaurant and Lounge with a group of friends, and it was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly special, and their birthday celebration package was absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond to make the evening unforgettable.

The team even surprised me with a personalized touch that showed how much they care about making every celebration unique. The food was out of this world! Every dish we tried was cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor and presented beautifully. Whether it was their succulent mains, perfectly seasoned sides, or the indulgent desserts, everything exceeded our expectations. A special shoutout to their mojitos – hands down the best I’ve had in London! Refreshing, perfectly balanced, and served with flair, they added the perfect vibe to our evening. Their cocktail menu in general is so impressive; each drink felt like a work of art. The service was flawless throughout the night.

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. :-)

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.

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.

Wonderful Indian food, with both classic dishes and some modern twists all presented so well. The fish curry and the lamb in particular were standout items. Definitely on the more expensive side but I feel that it was worth it on this occasion, with great service throughout.

I chose this place because it was en-route and the reviews and food options looked good. I was able to change my reservation time on the day, which was handy. The food is nice, not too oily which I liked, and some quirky options too. The Gobi Tree was a complete let down..to pay £9 for a slice of gobi is way too pricey. One item to definitely reconsider..it just looks like a tree but there's nothing much else. On the other hand, the South Indian Spiced Lamb was amazing. I must admit overall there was a lot of green chili in pretty much everything. The veg options in the starters was quite limited. Service was on point and the place is clean. It's right on the high street, so you feel quite exposed. We parked on a side road which was free.

Absolutely delightful! This being our third visit here, I feel compelled to write utterly favourably of their virtues. Tonight was a quiet night at the restaurant, but even though we were the only ones there for the bulk of our meal, it was not awkward, or uncomfortable. Wait staff were perfect, personable and professional. Friendly advice was given for the dishes and as always it was quite delightful and tasty. This will not be our last visit by any means and when we are in the mood to spoil ourselves with a great night out we would be hard pressed to look any further than the bayleaf. Top marks all round!

El Vaquero is located on the High Street with ample parking. Step free access, entering from the street level. Transport links are excellent, with local buses situated just outside. The restaurant is a good size. The decor is nice. The food is definitely for meat eaters. This is a buffet style service. You grab your salad & vegetables sit at the table, and the meat comes on skewers with garlic bread and chips. The meat choices are beef, lamb & chicken. All the meats are seasoned well with a variety of marinades. You can choose how you want your beef & lamb cooked. Excellent value for money as you can eat as much as you want. This place is family-friendly. The pricing is very reasonable considering the amount of food & quality. Overall, it was an excellent night out.

The food was amazing Lots of food, quality meat, and a lot of variety of selection. The top was the dessert marshmallow and pineapple. The service though unfortunately was a set back. We ordered drinks and they forgot about us and then I ordered glasses with ice again they forgot and then I asked for a bit more fillet beef again they forgot. They fixed everything at the end though with free coffees and extra desserts.

We had brunch at this local restaurant on the scorching 9th of September of UK! It was quite an experience. The portions were humongous, ensuring I left with a full and satisfied stomach.

It’s a good place, particularly when you take low prices into account. Very small cafe with simple design. The food is decent, good size portions and they make fresh juices (too much water added in for my taste, but it wasn’t too bad). I believe we were unfortunate as our two omelettes took nearly 40 minutes to make, turning our breakfast into brunch, and they got some ingredients wrong - but we were hungry. It is always busy due to size, low prices and popularity in the area. However, I think it’s also due to lack of breakfast places that so many people come here. We will probably come again given lack of choices around.

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 😍

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 .

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 :-)

La Lluna

1264 High Rd, London N20 9HH, UK

4.5 (397 reviews)

P: 020 8446 8300

Ah, Friday – that glorious gateway to the weekend! After a week that felt like wrestling an octopus (more on that later), it was time to unwind with good company and, naturally, even better food. Our friends, the wise food whisperers that they are, suggested a little gem called La Lluna for tapas. Off we went, and let me tell you, it was a night of flavor, fun, and a few culinary curveballs. The Scene: La Lluna greeted us with a warm, well-lit ambience and a bustling vibe. The staff? Attentive, friendly, and clearly in on the secret that tapas = happiness. With tapas, the joy is in sharing, and share we did – to the point where the table resembled a battlefield of empty plates and satisfied sighs. The Dishes: Cured Meat Platter: A trio of cured meats with picos. Not bad, not spectacular either – but to be fair, I’ve had the crème de la crème of Spanish bellota, and that sets the bar quite high. This was more of a polite applause than a standing ovation. Croquetas De Bacalao: Golden balls of salt cod fried to crispy perfection. Pair them with the brava and aioli sauce, and you’re in for a tasty ride. Would I have fought over the last one? Absolutely. Patatas Fritas (aka Patatas Bravas): A tapas staple, these little fried spuds were delightful. My only wish? The brava and aioli sauces should’ve embraced the potatoes, not stood shyly on the side. Come on, let’s mix and mingle! Gambas Al Ajillo: Ah, the pièce de résistance. Three succulent prawns lounging luxuriously in a garlicky, olive oil and chilli bath. Not too spicy, just enough heat to get you salivating. Pro tip: get the chargrilled sourdough and use it as a sauce mop. You’ll thank me. Chargrilled Sourdough Bread: Sure, it came with its own olive oil and chilli dip, but why bother? The gambas sauce is where it’s at. Dunk with enthusiasm, ignore the original pairings – this is what bread dreams are made of. Pimientos Del Padron: Simple, classic, delicious. Just one critique – a tad more sea salt, and we’d be singing. Bombas: These deep-fried potato balls stuffed with beef, onion, and herbs were little flavor bombs (pun intended). Gorgeously plated and even better on the palate. Tortilla Clasica: Sadly, the night’s biggest letdown. First of all, lose the garnish – it added nothing but confusion. And I like my tortilla a bit runnier, but that’s just personal preference. Could it have been better? Yes. Was it tragic? No, but my expectations were higher than the omelette. Paella De Marisco: A hearty seafood paella that brought the taste of the sea to our table. Generous on the portion, which is good because we were five hungry souls. However, a rogue clam or two had some gritty sand – a bit of a party crasher, but we powered through. Pulpo A La Gallega: The octopus, tender and beautifully cooked, paired nicely with thyme-marinated baby potatoes and a sprinkle of sweet paprika. Again, what’s with the garnish? Courgette Flowers: Tempura-battered and stuffed with goat’s cheese, drizzled in honey. I’ll have to trust the look of delight on my friends’ faces here, as I have a longstanding feud with goat’s cheese. But visually, they were stunners. Churros: Ah, dessert. A plate of golden-brown churros with a decadent chocolate sauce. All seemed perfect until we took a bite. Sadly, a bit undercooked in the middle – a churro faux pas that left us mourning what could have been a glorious end to the meal. The Space: Don’t be deceived by the modest frontage. La Lluna stretches back further than you’d expect, with an upstairs and even a cozy outdoor area equipped with parasols and heaters. And bonus – they welcome your furry friends. In conclusion, La Lluna was a delightful escape from the grind, with a few hits and only 2 near-misses. If you go, make sure to bring friends – because tapas are best when shared (and because you’ll need someone to stop you from ordering more gambas).

Dinner at La Lluna is an experience that instantly transports you to the heart of Spain, even though you're right in the middle of London. From the moment you step in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere makes you forget the hustle of the British city. The authentic décor, with rustic accents, feels like a traditional Spanish tavern, and the soft traditional music in the background enhances the feeling that you've arrived in a sunny corner of southern Spain. The menu is a true celebration of Spanish cuisine. We started with a selection of tapas, all impeccably prepared – crispy and spicy *patatas bravas*, and fresh chipirones ( we are in love with this) with alioli souce. Each bite was an explosion of authentic flavors, just as you would expect in any *taberna* in Barcelona or Madrid. For the main course, we opted for a *paella de mariscos*, and it was an excellent choice. The rice was cooked to perfection, absorbing all the rich flavors of the seafood, with a light crispy layer on the bottom, just as it should be. The seafood was fresh and plentiful, with every bite carrying that distinct taste of the sea. The glass of Spanish Sangria, recommended by the waiter, paired beautifully with the meal. The service was impeccable – the friendly and attentive staff, fluent in both Spanish and English, were always available to suggest dishes or the perfect wine to complement the food. The vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere makes you feel at home, as if you're on a spontaneous trip to Spain without ever leaving London. In conclusion, La Lluna is the ideal spot for anyone craving a culinary escape to Spain right in the heart of London. It’s a place where you can indulge in authentic food, enjoy a lively ambiance, and experience the warmth of Spanish hospitality. I can’t wait to return!
