Chococcino seems to have closed unfortunately :(…read more We used to go to Chococcino a lot when we lived in Southgate, before it turned into a "Rock and Soul Cafe". It was always busy then, maybe the conversion wasn't a hit? We loved the sandwiches here. This is the restaurant that introduced me to hallumi cheese, as part of their hallumi and ham baguette. Crunchy, fresh, and delightfully savory. Sorry to see them go! Maybe they'll open up elsewhere?

This is a steak house, so I will jump straight to the steak bit.....oh, it was good, it was reeeaaally good. Beautifully cooked, all 3 of the different cuts we had, and wonderfully garnished. Served on what looked like a large bread-board and accompanied with chips in a miniature tin bucket. But let's face it, it's not about the chips in a bucket, it's about the steak, and it was good....did I mention that already? As for the restaurant itself, is beautifully decorated, a nice, clean bar area and genuinely looked very nice. The day we went was really quiet, except for a party of about 20/25 people in a corner having some kind of celebration. It was them, and 2 other tables (including us), and they were really noisy, so I could only imagine how noisy it would be when/if full. Nice time had by all though, and the steak was fantastic. Oh, and not overly pricey for quality cuts of meat, we'll be back.

They are quick and the food always has a decent consistency- you know what you're getting with this place. Order on machines or at the counter. The place is very busy especially at lunch time.

Nice, salty party kind of food which is good with drinks. carolina prawns £7.25 - big, juicy and plump. Well seasoned and aroma of charcoal strongly solidified that Bodean's is a barbecue restaurant. BBQ burnt ends & baby back ribs combo £16.95 - in terms of variety in meat, it was a good barbecue selection platter for two. The chicken was a little dry but the others were nice. A slight improvement would be if the salad portion could be larger because it certainly wasn't enough to give the tastebuds a break from the strong barbecue sauce. pecan pie £5.25 - looks teeth numbingly sweet but it was not as sweet as it looks. Still, it was sweeter for my palate and I did not want more than a couple of teaspoonfuls for myself. I was glad we had shared it.

The Beautiful Burger Company is a food truck situated in the outdoor seating area of The Old…read moreWheatsheaf. As it's one of our favorite local pubs (the beer selection is awesome), we often see it here. Now, living in Enfield, I'm a bit dubious of most eateries, so it took me awhile to give The Beautiful Burger Company a try. I'm kind of annoyed I waited so long. The burgers were really tasty. They were juicy and not overcooked. The bun is slightly firm and holds up well to the burger. They'll put grilled onions on the burgers if you ask, and their tomato relish really adds a lot to the burger. There's not a huge selection of burgers. They do 4 oz. beef, lamb or chicken burgers. To these you can pay extra for cheese and/or bacon. There's also a veggie option and a gluten-free burger. There's only one side available: rosemary potato wedges, but definitely give them a try, they're really tasty. They also do wraps and rolls if you're not quite as hungry. It's nice to have a surprisingly delicious burger place near home!

Used taste card here so had 50% off- I'd need more of a discount to go back…read more The menu was dirty and ripped which annoyed me instantly, but that's just a gripe of mine. For starter we ordered 'inferno wings' which were pretty dreadful. They were deep fried tiny winglets, with a pretty basic sweet chilli sauce on- not hot or fresh at all. Massive disappointment. I really dont understand why restaurants market something then try and fob you off with rubbish. The ribs for main were fine, nothing to shout about.

A bit of Awesome Americana in the middle of North East London…read more It's probably the last place in London you'd expect to have an american style diner but there it in.. in the middle of Southgate. With bright red diner style booths and rock & roll deco all that it's missing is a juke box. In terms of food and drinks.. I'd highly recommend their back back ribs.. you have a choice of 3 sauces: Brook's BBQ, Brook's Texas Spicy or Jack Daniels BBQ sauce. The ribs are amazingly tender and the meat came straight off the bones.. so no problems if you prefer knives & forks. But of course to truly enjoy baby back ribs you have to dive right in with your fingers. Oh yes they also serve soda floats (or spiders as some people call it) that brought me right back to my childhood days. Ok, so it may be a bit out of the way, but if you do live in North London and you are nearby Do give it a try I've been back there a few times already As Fat-Bast**d said in Austin Powers: Baby back, baby back, baby back RIBS!. Now get in to my BEL-LY!

Came here with a group of 9 people over the weekend and was really disappointed. The place could be…read moregreat. The decor is quirky.... That's about it. The amaretto sour I ordered was way too sweet (it's my fave drink, so I have many to compare it to), the live music was way too loud to even speak with someone right next to you and my food had two long hairs in it. One mixed in the salad and another actually inside of the burger patty. Foul. Don't get excited prior to ordering the pork ribs - they look like they were brought straight over from the freezer section at Iceland across the road. The staff were pleasant, but there was just a depressing vibe about the place!

I went here a few weeks ago with my boyfriend and another couple on a Friday night. As we walked…read morein I was really impressed with the decor. There were chairs and tables carved out of wood into unusual shapes and wouldn't be out of place in a hunting lodge! They have really gone for the 'Western' theme. We all got burgers and chips and were not disappointed. I'm a vegetarian and admittedly my only choice was a vege burger off the whole menu, but I love a burger and it was delicious!! The sweet potato fries were lovely too. We all had pudding and the choice was great - we couldn't choose between them! As the evening went on, the place got really busy with loads of people coming in just for drinks. There was a live band playing rock music (what you'd expect with the theme) which was a nice touch but not my cup of tea. All in all a lovely meal, great looking place and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend. PS - They take Tastecards!!

We grabbed a late lunch here on our first day visiting London. While it was not really 'close' to…read moreanything we were going to, I'm so glad we stopped in! We ordered at the bar, and the server was very friendly. He explained the menu to us and pointed out a few special items. After we placed our food and drink orders, we grabbed a table. We ordered the nachos as an appetizer. They were so good! The chips were handmade, and you could really tell. Everything on the nachos was fresh. Honestly, there were such a big order, we almost didn't need our burgers after! The burgers were so big. They came with a generous helping of shoestring french fries, that were seasoned perfectly. My cheeseburger was good and messy, just the way it should be. I could only eat about half of it, because I was so full. Everything was seasoned perfectly. My boyfriend enjoyed his tropical chicken burger. Oh, and I forgot to mention the drinks! I loved my cider! It was a huge cider, enough for two glass-fulls. Definitely come here to eat, relax, and have some good food!

A star in Myddleton Road…read more "People here make good cocktails" said my wife. I agreed wholeheartedly as I sipped my Lord Palmerston (Espresso, Bourbon, Bailey's and Milk). The step, an island in Myddleton road, is a stone's throw from Bowes park train station. Myddleton Road has some interesting shops that somehow still keep going. There is great potential here and should the community of businesses organise better, and involve the local community, it could truly take off. The atmosphere inside is pleasant. It is generally full of locals enjoying the excellent food and drinks. Inside is full of a n odd assortment of tables and chairs. The lighting is a hodge podge of lamps, minor chandeliers and spot lights, parts of the wall are brick and the other issues bucolic wallpaper adorned with impressive paintings of roosters. Somehow it works and makes you feel quite chilled. The music, a mixture of funk and jazz, helps a lot. The selection of food is limited but having eaten the burger, fries/wedges (sweet potato and potato), scotch egg and the apple and berry crumble, I have been impressed. Today I ate the scotch egg. They managed to keep the yolk runny and the suasage meat was flavoured with herbs. I devovered it with gusto. This is the third time I have been here and every single time I have been impressed with the food. The burger by the way was pink in the middle and made perfectly. The juices flowed both from the beef as well as my mouth. They have a deal for a burger and beer or wine for £10 between 6 and 7. I recommend it. Let me just say that I have probably had nearly every single cocktail but one, the aperol or campari Spritz, and each has been well mixed. Each single time the mixologist has been different so I am blown away by the consistency. One last word on the staff who are always pleasant. I haven't had the nerve yet to strike up a conversation but am sure that it would be good. I thank the staff here for keeping this place going and doing such a marvelous job.

The garden is lovely too... a dearth of local boozers adds value but this place is a good fit for me and the range of events excellent! Update: finally made it in here for food and was suitably impressed with the small menu. My mum and I shared the spring salad and stuffed courgette. The courgette was good but the salad blew me away.. each mouthful was a combo of great textures and different flavours all creating a party on the palate.. or plate. Go there peeps! But book. It's a local gem and I'm heading back there for a live music nights soon!

I'm that person that will order the same thing because I know what to expect but not this time. I ordered the "Middeys Brunch" with a Mimosa and American coffee. The food and service did not disappoint. If I am ever afforded the opportunity to return to Cockfosters, UK or even London in general I will definately make my way to this darling little gem. I would encourage the general masses to decend on this joint and chill for breakfast, lunch, brunch and/or dinner. Thank you Bobby and staff for your amazing welcoming hospitality. Kindest Regards

Promised so much but let down!…read more I attended this new cafe/brasserie with high expectations the decor is done to a high standard and there is a selection of coffees and nice organic expensive items for sale to take away, it has the feel of a nice independent coffee shop in a village. The menu is not too large and offers a good range of favorites like burgers, pastas, breakfasts, salads and sandwiches etc. I opted for the club sandwich presentation again was good, served on a wooden platter with chips in a little bowl. However this unfortunately is where it goes a bit down hill, the food I had and my girlfriends too was distinctly average I even commented that I can make a better club sandwich (and I'm no chef) the chicken was dry, the bacon rubbery, tasteless and cheap. Not what I was really expecting. The price point isn't that high but I feel they are cutting costs with quality. Service as well was not great, maybe because they're new and inexperienced but there were several problems with staff; - First being not great English making ordering more of a trouble than it should be, I heard the table next to me struggling too. -Second mistake, clearing my partners plate away before I had finished. Having come from a service background this is rude and shouldn't happen. -Third, No check back after ordering despite having several members of staff standing around doing nothing, no one asked how my food was so I couldn't inform them it was a bit dry. -and finally, The bill was brought over to me and left at the table without me asking and without the offer of any dessert, coffee, another drink etc. I found this strange as surely they will lose business with this behaviour. I felt slightly rushed, it wasn't like they needed the table it was almost empty. I wouldn't return for food, the coffee and the milkshake were OK and that's about as far as it goes unfortunately.
