For an Italian chain, it isn't too bad. The location of this Strada, set up in leafy North London,…read moreis very relaxing and has a real residential feel to it. We started off with some hand stretched pizza bread of Aglio (garlic and rosemary) and Pesto and tomato, dipping it into lots of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I am a huge fan of speck so I ordered their Rigatoni Speck with Gorgonzola, which came in a heavy cream sauce. It was good to see that aside from the usual pasta and pizza dishes they also serve such dishes as fillet of pork with sage and prosciutto, pan fried calves liver and whole seabass stuffed with thyme (very good). They also have a rather long list of wines to choose from.

I ordered a Caesar salad for the main and had understood that it came with pancetta and anchovies. But what they brought was literally just chicken, lettuce and croutons with dressing. So I got the fondant dessert to try and console myself, but it was quite bland and obviously pre prepared. The bit of torroncino that I tried (with espresso and frangelico) was very good, though. Good service and spacious seating but the food let it down for me.

I would recommend this place to anyone in the area.

"This is the best Greek food I ever had!"; my husband told our server. She nodded sweetly; she was…read morevery nice and helpful. And I totally agree - the food was very good. They have a lunch/afternoon special that includes a variety of meal options for...I think it was $12.50. So we got a couple of those, choosing the chicken skewers and the lamb meatballs. They come with pita bread, tzatziki, a lovely Greek salad, and rice or chips. Really refreshing and flavorful; filling but not heavy. It also seemed like a lot of vegetarian choices were available. We also got the humus and some Greek peach iced tea, and that was enough for all 3 of us to feel completely satisfied and at a very reasonable price. Comfortable seating and nice decor. We don't live on this continent but I am sure that I will hear my husband say, many times, in the future "remember that little Greek place we went to in London?" Yes; I will.

We were looking to grab a quick meal before our show started and popped into this restaurant…read more Overall we were quite pleased. We started with cocktails. My Old Fashioned tasted great with the Greek honey. The lemon gin drink was OK. Our large Greek salad was excellent. Too often they are made with too much lettuce. Here, there was no lettuce, just lots of veggies, feta cheese, olives, etc. nicely done! Our lamb and halloumi skewers were tasty though could've been a bit larger serving wise. Finally, our flat bread (pita) and hummus were good though perhaps slightly overpriced. Service was very good, the restaurant was clean and fairly comfortable. Two thumbs up!

The restaurant is small but nice and the outdoor seating was great. Prices are reasonable. Food was fine but nothing memorable. The Bad - I ordered vegan vine leaves and they came with meat in them. Twice. Then they didn't come at all but the table next to us kept getting them. Very strange. Food also took a while and came out in random intervals. The grilled veggies were dry and tasteless. The reviews of this place are so good that our experience must have been an anomaly. Still we won't rush back anytime soon.

I mean, I never expect that my appearance (or the appearance of any customer) should make the wait staff go gaga, but what I felt at Cafe Rouge in Highgate was just plain non-caring. I mean, everyone was nice enough, but at no point did I have the feeling that my presence and my business was at all appreciated. On top of that, the food was really just ok...nothing to rave home about. I would avoid this place and go to any of the other big chains that are in Highgate Village: Pizza Express or Strada.

The food is always excellent -- and the re-addition of salmon to the menu over the last few months is a very welcome addition: always lovely, tasty, cooked to perfection with good accompaniments. They also do a gluten free version (no sauce) - and the staff as specifically trained to cater for GF (no cross-contamination). Also recommend omelettes and salads. Again, good GF understanding and menu. Overall my favourite restaurant for many years. Consistently good food, friendly staff, wonderful location. I highly recommend it.
