You know there's Greek food and then there's Cypriot Greek food, and let me tell you, the latter is…read morethe absolute one. This spot is authentic. And the best part? It's just a stroll away from my place (not that it matters to you). The starters are great - you've got the choice of cold or warm mezes, calamari, dolmas, all the usual suspects for a Greek place. When it comes to the mains, I highly recommend the sheftalias and pork kebab (sorry Kosher and Halal gang), or go for the mixed grill if you can't decide. They even do really nice fish dishes as well, seabass and salmon are worth a mention. And don't forget to grab some chips - they use the proper Cypriot potatoes. Weekdays are usually quiet, but on weekends it can get busy so it's worth booking ahead. The service is alright, nothing special - but hey, it's Greek, what do you expect? As for parking, it's not amazing - there's a tiny lot across the street and you can park at Cockfosters station.

If you want authentic Greek food, then this place is an excellent choice. The Meze is good, where…read moreyou get a selection of small plates to share, and includes everything from olives and hummus to kebabs and sheftalia. Their fish courses are very good too, and I can particularly recommend the charcoal grilled octopus - delicious with a feta salad and lots of lemon juice. Portions are big and you won't leave hungry. If you are going with a big group it's best to call ahead and make reservations especially on the weekend. The downside to this place is that it is small and when it is busy, it can feel a bit claustrophobic, and it's loud so it's difficult to have a good conversation. The decor is not my taste, I think it would benefit from looking a little more Mediterranean, but otherwise can't complain.

The farm's tea shop does the best breakfast I've had in the area…read more I went for poached eggs on toast with a couple of 'Speldhurst' sausages on the side. The breakfast menu is simple but the quality of the core produce is way better than anything I've tasted nearby - to date. I've also experienced a number of poached egg disasters at restaurants recently, but these guys nailed it. Hallelujah for the soft warm yolky loveliness... The service was great too - young and friendly staff who were happy to serve and help. I didn't get to see the lunch menu so can't comment on this, but I was also intrigued to learn that Masterchef finalist Chris Georgiou uses this place for a gourmet burger night which takes place from Wednesday - Saturday called Gastronomical. I'll be giving that a try for sure.

My first trip here I choose the vegetarian soup which was broccoli and Stilton while my wife also went veggie soup with their vegetable soup. Both hit the spot.

Loved this little gem in Cockfosters. This is Turkish cuisine on another level. We had an early…read moredinner on Monday around 6pm. The restaurant is very simple and elegant, customer service and quality of food is great. We ordered Hummus Kavurma, one other appetiser I cant remember the name, mixed grill and some thick cut chips as a side dish. The bread they serve is light warm and delicate with a lovely sprinkle of rosemary accompanied with rich butter topped with walnuts. Seriously yummy. The meat in the mixed grill platter was juicy, soft and perfectly seasoned. The dessert we ordered oh my god sweet heaven on a plate it was just something else I absolutely loved it. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Our bill came to £60 for two and we left happy!

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.

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 tried to leave yet he wanted to go here as he imagined there would be no where else to go. I the chairs and tables are so tightly compact I could barely move in my chair. The smell of beer was so poignant. We ordered an array of starters the worst being grilled kalamari, I don't know how they could of cooked it with so little taste. It was like rubber. When I ordered my steak to begin with I thought how it was near impossible to ruin a rare cooked steak. They did it, it came out medium with a small amount of pink. The sides were what I enjoyed the most, shop brought humous and bread. I left in disgust, and I urge Yelp to make 0 stars possible.

Fish and chips are decently satisfying and the portions are huge. A serve of chips can easily be shared between two or even three. Get them to add in a dash of vinegar and you're on your way to tasty, fried comfort food. Quality is always fresh and the staff are friendly. A few years ago, Chippers used to get a grab-and-go type joint. Now that they've had a little renovation done to it, there are tables to sit at and a huge flatscreen TV to watch as you eat. Fish and chips are an English favourite so why not stop by this neighbourhood shop to get your fixing?

The tastiest and best donner kebab you'll ever have…read more My partner and I have been coming here for years now, and the quality of the food has prevailed throughout this time. Probably due to the (Greek?) guy running the place, who is always incredibly friendly. On the outskirts of London in Cockfosters (last stop on the Piccadilly Line) Chippers sits in the midst of many other busy nice looking restaurants. It is extremely clean, and has seating if you want to eat your food in. A variety of different fish are available, including plaice, cod and skate which are always incredibly fresh with crispy batter. The portion sizes are more than generous too. Which brings me to the donner kebabs- trust me you only need a small! Pitta bread filled with the tastiest premium donner meat and delicious home made chilli sauce (if you so wish). On top of this is fresh crispy salad including tomatoes, onions, pickled cabbage and whole chilli peppers. The best kebab I've ever had by miles. Couple this with proper traditional fresh hot 'chippy' chips and you're onto a winner. What every chip shop should aspire to. I highly recommend.
