Bob's Café Muswell Hill in Haringey

It can get very busy during the weekends so it's helpful to have a reservation! Food is fresh and very tasty, desserts are worth trying!Had the fish tacos and were delicious! Staff were very friendly, love the interior, and the seed cards are a cute touch!

Delicious food, lovely staff, and great vibes! Had dinner there tonight and wish I could go every day now😅

We enjoyed a family meal at Bob's - there's a great atmosphere and a wide-ranging menu. I'd recommend the Californian tacos!

Nice atmosphere, good food, prices are decent. Good place for a date.

Have come about 4 or 5 times now, and always bring guests from out of town here. Bob’s Cafe is a staple for me. Every time i have ordered something different and the food has been delectable each time. Staff and service are friendly and pleasant. I tend to book for midday on a weekend which means it’s often very busy. I find this off-putting but one cannot be surprised given the quality of the taste, service and atmosphere. From the French toast to cookie dough skillet to juices, there is something for everyone on the menu and there has not been a single item of food I haven’t enjoyed.

Loved it so much! A casual catch-up lunch with my friend. I'm a vegetarian, and the menu had generous options for me. Also, the desert was🤤Something else really important for me is that the service was excellent, warm, and genuine, especially our waitress, Andie. Toilets were clean, which is for me also something very important. In essence, it is a great spot in this area and definitely one of my new favourites 😍

Very good service, friendly staff, fantastic food. There's no Bob, though

I had a wonderful experience at Bob’s Coffee! I went there with my family, and everything was absolutely fantastic. The food was delicious — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The coffee was just as impressive — rich, smooth, and perfectly brewed. What really stood out, though, was the atmosphere. The place has such a warm and welcoming vibe, with friendly staff who made us feel right at home. It’s a great spot whether you're grabbing a quick coffee, sitting down for a meal, or just looking for a cozy place to relax. Overall, everything was super good, and we all left happy and satisfied. I highly recommend Bob’s Coffee and can’t wait to visit again soon!

Love it. Really nice food with good range of options, including vegan. Service is always good.

Amazing coffee but above and beyond service from the staff! Such a lovely atmosphere too!

Bob’s cafe er hyggelig og venlig. Maden er vidunderlig og drinks’ne endnu bedre. Personalet er altid super venlige. Vild med stedet.

I have no idea how this place has such great food reviews, perhaps we got the chef on a busy day.. but our brunch was really terrible. The mexican breakfast option was sold as a burrito/nacho type breakfast with beans, avocado, chorizo etc. It came out looking like a strange pizza/bean type mess - very unnapealing. The beans tasted like tinned baked beans (not very mexican!) the chorizo was sliced out of a packet, the salsa tasted like it was also out of a jar, the avocado portion abysmal. My partner had avocado and overcooked poached eggs and my sons pancakes were flavourless. Attentive service but so obviously trying to upsell every single dish - we we're very dissapointed overall.

Had lunch in bob’s prior to attending an old friend’s funeral in St James Church. Lunch was excellent service fantastic. Highly recommended. Reasonable cost.

We just stopped there for a coffees

Everything was excellent. The food is very tasty and they have many dishes to choose from. The staff is very friendly and the service is quick. I highly recommend!

Food tasty and well presented. Good variety. Staff friendly and efficient. Usually busy and can be noisy if you prefer a quiet meal. Tried the French Martini cocktail which was delicious. Ate the Veggie Chilli Bowl which is a generous portion as are most of their food items tbf.

Comida muy sabrosa, aunque un poco caro . . encantador personal sonriente y servicial. Algunos toques ecológicos y dog friendly también. Vale la pena una visita

On a frozen day with 2° outside we had to spent at least 15 min with the backdoor open because the delivery expected at 7 it was late, no one give us the choice of changing table even when there were empty tables, the reason? if you don't book them you don't have the right to use them instead enjoy the coldest lunch time ever. Pour service, pour response, in top of that instead of giving a honest apology, they don't forgot a service charge of 12,5% that of course I didn't pay. Sad experience because we rated best place in the area place for years.

This place took me by surprise, the food and service was epci

The service was amazing, the waiting time for food was short, the taste of the food was delicious. Very good café and restaurant 100% would recommend 🙂

I had the pleasure of enjoying brunch here today, and I must say, the experience was absolutely fantastic. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented—everything you’d want for a perfect brunch outing. But what truly set this visit apart was the exceptional service, particularly from an employee named Dave. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time. From his warm welcome to his attentive and professional demeanor, Dave made us feel valued and cared for throughout the meal. It’s clear he takes great pride in his work, and it made all the difference.

This is such a lovely place. It's super busy and you're safer making a booking or you may be wanting a while. It's still worth the wait though. I've been here 2/3 times now and the service is always friendly, polite and super helpful. The team here are great. I've been here for breakfast, brunch and lunch and the food is fresh and tasty. Good selection and a definite place to visit again. Thanks team

Very good food and superb service. Loved the ambience.

Lovely family atmosphere and wonderful service! Food is expensive for what you get. Some of the dishes are quite greasy, overuse of oil.

Nice, fresh, fast, attentive staff.

Cannot fault this place on ther service or food. Took a seat outside and within one minute a lovely waitress came over and gave us water and menus. Food was absolutely delicious too. Yummy coffee too. When I visited on a rainy day it was pretty busy but the staff were very kind and made sure we were seated after quickly cleaning and relaying the tables. The service was still amazing when super busy.

We went there on a Saturday for lunch (the place was packed), and the lady by the door went above and beyond to find us a table, as we didn’t have a booking. The service was outstanding, very rare these days, and the food was absolutely delicious. This place win us, so we’ll definitely come back! Thank you Bobs for making us feel so special!

The vibes of this city is amazing. I tried the steak i Didnt like it at all. My girlfriend tried the salamon she said it was nice.

Comida, bebida y vibra increíbles! Me encantó cada momento. Alimentos frescos y saludables - buenas porciones. El refrigerador de flores de saúco era increíble también!

Cold veggie burger and soggy chips - I’ve experienced a couple of awful takeaways from bobs last year due to dreadful wrapping food in foil but terrible in restaurant food today - I’m done.

Lovely atmosphere and lovely waiting staff. Burgers were nice but crying out for some salad and tomato. I’m not delusional and I don’t think a burger should be healthy but it just needed something to make it feel a bit less heart-attacky. Tried to order a side salad to put in the burger but I ended up with a bowl of broccoli and peas… so with resignation, I raw dogged the burger and ate the greens separately. Kids portions of French toast were very small even for a 3 year old. One small slice of bread each. They were still very hungry after and one of them ended up eating the underside of my wife’s burger bun. The burger sauce was excellent.

Best brunch place in Muswell Hill.

They do an amazing Veggie breakfast with outstandingly lovely marinated mushrooms Been back a year later & the Evening meals are amazing and reasonably priced 😁

Delicioso, saludable y variado menú. Servicio amable y cálido, interior lleno de plantas. Genial con alergias alimentarias, tiene un menú separado gluten - gratis. Nuestro servidor tenía una sonrisa como Vanessa Hudgens y se aseguró de que nuestra comida era perfecta para nosotros.

We had a Christmas party organized, and it was amazing! Labi went above and beyond to make our celebration special. The service was exceptional, and the food was absolutely delicious. Thank you! I highly recommend this place!

Labi made our Christmas dinner so special. Thank you from me and the rest of our team!

Love this place! Great customer service shout out to labi! Food was 10/10 recommend the chicken schnitzel and the prawn pil pil! Will be back for sure.

Been here with my Team work and Labi Provided us with amazing service and we felt very welcomed not to mention that the food was amazing.

Lovely staff. Below average food. Had the earth bowl - everything was unseasoned and lots of elements were cold. My dad had the shrimp tacos - the shrimps were cold and seemed to have come from a packet/definitely weren’t grilled. The tacos used wheat tortillas and weren’t warm. The whipped feta was nice.

First time visit to Bob's Cafe yesterday, Saturday brunch, and I was well impressed. Food (I had a Middle Eastern Breakfast Plate - yummy) good and well presented; varied selection for veggie and non veggie, but almost most impressive - the service. Attentive, friendly, unhurried. It was a busy time for the Cafe but no sense of urgency in rushing customers out. Water was constantly replenished without asking. Really, TOP marks.

Great little find near my air bnb, emediately greeted upon arrival, corn fritters excelant will definitely return during my stay.

Have been to Bob’s many times. The food is always great but the fantastic service really sets it apart. Actually prefer it in the evening it’s a really nice atmosphere. 5/5

What a lovely cafe in the heart of Muswell Hill. My husband and I both had the huevos rancheros and it was delicious! We will be moving to the area and wanted to find our new go to and I think we’ve found the place! The staff were extremely friendly - it felt like they loved their jobs and wanted to be there which is honestly a rarity these days. We will absolutely be coming back and bringing our friends and family! Thank you

We absolutely loved our brunch experience at Bob's cafe. The atmosphere and the decor is lovely. The staff are attentive, friendly and warm. The food itself is fantastic - We ordered the full English breakfast which was delicious and very filling. They have lots of menu options to cater to vegetarians. We absolutely loved our visit and will definitely return again to try out other dishes. Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5

Breakfast mushroom(singular) and grilled tomatoes tasted like they had been cooked hours ago. Very average. Better at home.

Nice burger, and the card with the seeds embedded into them are a good gimmick.

Quick service, lovely food, good range of options

Ordered through Deliveroo, but the food was so amazing I had to leave a review here too! We tried Bob’s Cheeseburger, Chicken Schnitzel, Nachos, Fish Tacos, and a Chocolate Brownie. Everything was absolutely delicious but I want to give a special shout-out to the fish tacos and nachos. I usually don’t expect much from them since they’re often too spicy or just not to my liking, but these were a pleasant surprise! The tacos were perfectly balanced—I could easily remove the chili and still enjoy just the right amount of spice. The fillings for both the tacos and nachos were incredible, unlike anything I’ve had before. The brownie was also spot-on, with a generous side of liquid chocolate that made it even better. Can’t wait to explore more from the menu next time!

Great spot for brunch, really nice staff, good menu, reasonably priced!

Servicio increíble y camareros encantadores - la comida era deliciosa y una buena variedad en los menús. El interior es muy bonito y agradable asientos. Recomiendo 100%

Qué decepción... desayuno x 2 , consistente en un champiñón, un embutido, dos rodajas pequeñas de tocino rayado, frijoles al horno, dos huevos y un tomate, pidiendo también dos cafés. Coste total £ 37. 12 . Calidad sabia 3 sobre 10. En una escala de relación calidad-precio, me temo que es un cero de nosotros.

Tuvimos la suerte de obtener un paseo - en la mesa aquí, ya que era muy popular en la hora del almuerzo del sábado que visitamos. El entorno era muy agradable y el personal muy amable y acogedor. Quedamos impresionados por la gama de opciones, y me dieron el pollo katsu, muy coco y delicioso! Sin duda volveríamos!

El personal hace este lugar, la comida es buena y saludable, pero el personal está sonriendo todo el tiempo. Debe tener una gran gestión para mantener al personal tan feliz en un almuerzo ocupado

Great food, service and very reasonable prices! I think I'm going to be a regular here.

Restaurant Bob's Cafe Muswell Hill, North London On a beautiful Saturday afternoon, I took my two adult children (22 and 19) out for lunch in the Muswell Hill area. I chose Bob's Cafe on Muswell Hill Broadway, as I had enjoyed a visit there pre-COVID and was eager to see how they had fared since reopening. Both of my children have gluten intolerance, so I was pleased to find that Bob's Cafe offers gluten-free options on their menu. We kicked off our meal with some cocktails, classic nachos, and hummus served with gluten-free bread. I was upfront with the manager and staff about my role as a food critic, mentioning that my reviews had garnered over three million views in recent months. We then ordered Bob's Burger for myself and the same burger with gluten-free buns for my son, while my daughter opted for the chicken shawarma. The starters were decent, though I felt the gluten-free bread could have been toasted better. Traditionally, nachos come with a variety of toppings, but unfortunately, sour cream was noticeably absent this time. When our main courses arrived, my daughter's chicken shawarma was disappointing; it consisted of just two slices of chicken kebab accompanied by an unbalanced bitter sauce that made the dish difficult for her to enjoy. My burger was equally underwhelming—a chewy piece of meat that seemed more fat than actual beef, reminiscent of a fast-food experience rather than a quality meal. I brought these concerns to the manager's attention, but she responded with a simple, "I’m sorry you didn’t like it," before walking away. As I know, shawarma is a Middle Eastern dish made from marinated chicken that is seasoned with spices like cumin, paprika, turmeric, and garlic, then cooked on a vertical rotisserie. It should be served sliced thinly, either in a wrap or on a platter with sides like rice, hummus, or tabbouleh for a fulfilling experience. Despite the sweet demeanor of our waitress, who tried to coax the manager back to address our issues, the manager's lack of engagement left much to be desired. We ended up with a bill of over £100, but our disappointment overshadowed any satisfaction from the meal. We chose to seek dessert elsewhere, heading to “Planet Organic”. Given our experience, I can only award Bob's Cafe two stars—one for the starters and another for the kind waitress who was clearly new and seemed uncomfortable with the situation. Unless they improve their main courses and source better ingredients, I cannot recommend this establishment. #doctorfoodielondon Nick This is my reply to the owner : =====•================= Thanks for your charming reply! It’s nice to see a restaurant owner so dedicated to the art of defense. I was almost expecting a trophy for your efforts! As a food critic with over 3.5 million views on my reviews and experience at over 950 restaurants, I base my feedback on what I taste and experience. My critique of the gluten-free bread and the nachos was sincere, and I stand by it. If the sour cream was indeed present, it didn’t meet my expectations, and I believe that’s worth mentioning. I appreciate that you could accommodate my kids' gluten intolerance. It’s a shame the gluten-free bread didn’t get the same VIP treatment; maybe next time I’ll bring a toaster? About the sour cream on my nachos—who knew it was playing hide and seek? I’ll be sure to bring a magnifying glass next visit. And while I understand the smash burger is meant to be trendy, it seemed more like a fast-food impersonator. I guess that's the new street food vibe, right? As for the chicken shawarma, it’s good to know it’s popular. Maybe it just didn’t get the memo that my daughter doesn’t enjoy bitter surprises. I do find it amusing that you think announcing myself as a food critic is interesting. I mean, who wouldn’t want to share their “three million views” instead of just having 34 Instagram followers? But hey, numbers aren’t everything, right? It’s disappointing to see such an unprofessional, defensive reaction from a restaurant owner for the first time.

Andi's customer service in amazing. Always makes us feel so welcome. Bobs would not be the same without her. Always smiling and so so sweet. Thankyou for making our time at bobs wonderful

Came across bob’s cafe as I did a special workout class with body by Ciara and dinner package at bob’s cafe. I was blown away from the experience. Imagine +40 very chatty energised women in one go. Bob’s cafe handled all of our orders perfectly. Even refilling our water pitchers without asking (which sometimes you don’t get when on a table for 2 in some places). The food was amazing - recommend the veggie chilli bowl! It was the perfect place to end our day! Thanks a lot and I’ll be coming back soon!

My aunt and I came here for lunch and loved it! The decor of the restaurant is very calming and classy and the staff are fantastic, so very attentive and friendly. We ordered the cheeseburger and the chicken schnitzel burger which arrived in less than 10 minutes and was very delicious. I highly recommend this place, it’s quickly going to become a new favourite I think!

Been here a few times! Great food and service! Only thing, if your autistically sensitive to texture (like me) don’t get the Madame bob, or maybe ask for the bottom to be toasted!!

Una concurrida cafetería 8 n el corazón de Muswell Hill. Llegamos bajo la lluvia sin reserva y nos llevaron directamente a la parte trasera del edificio - inicialmente un poco confuso nos dimos cuenta de que era mejor para nosotros y nuestro perro mojado! Pedí café inmediatamente y el personal muy atento fue servicial y rápido. Una vez ordenado nuestros desayunos llegaron rápidamente, la comida estaba caliente y fresca. Todo estaba delicioso en nuestro inglés completo - decidimos probar las tostadas y tortitas francesas en nuestra próxima visita!

Perfect service the other day quick and very friendley staff perfect taste food thank you so much! Highly recomended

We came here at lunchtime today to celebrate my daughter’s GCSE result. The atmosphere is lovely, the food stunning and the service amazing. Our waitress was Andi and she is absolutely delightful but all the other staff are lovely and helpful too. We had an amazing time. Thank you 😊

They held a table for six for us in the window despite it being so busy. The manager made us feel like stars in our own show. The food was prompt and delicious. And the whole team did a great job in ensuring we had a great time. Five stars all round

The best brunch I had so far, everything is just so delicious! The Roasted tomato was such a surprise! Great staff and fab atmosphere! Would definitely come again

Very good experience, from service to food. Good variety of food, also for kids.

Nice place. You can feel the quality of the food. Downside? Quantity of food compared to the price. You can find better in the area. Nice and clean place. Good service

Delicious food with unbelievably friendly staff. I highly recommend this restaurant

I have been going to Bob’s Cafe for a long time and am never disappointed. Delicious food with unbelievably friendly staff. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Stumbled upon this restaurant when walking between Finsbury Park and Ally Pally. Really great food and fantastic service, all reasonably priced.

Lovely friendly atmosphere. Food was nice and great portions. Kids were happy. Will surely come back.

Ordered a standard breakfast but it definitely feels revitalising and doesn’t leave you feeling sluggish. Members of staff had good banter and service. Food was generally really good.

Amazing food, service & atmosphere. I would definitely recommend it.

Very helpful with the reservation - excellent, fast service and very nice gyozas and falafel burger! A very pleasant experience

Fantastic food!! Great service, polite staff very attentive. Good portions. Korean cauliflower with miso is a must to try!! Beautiful inside. Im now editing my review now dated 19th June. I went back today and ordered the Korean cauliflower with miso, our waitress asked after I ordered if I was vegetarian. I said yes, she advised me that the cauliflower is fried in the same oil as meat!!!!!! So why is this dish classed as a vegan dish on the menu!!! Its not, its cross contaminated as its fried in the same oil as meat!!! This is not acceptable for any vegetarian or vegan customers. She also advised its because they only have 1 fryer!!! REALLY????? We ordered chips aswell check out the menu it's classed as Vegan....that must be fried in the same oil too correct??? I have now been really put off by this that I can't go back....I have been in this restaurant numerous times and had this dish and no one has advised me of this....I actually feel sick at the thought of what I have eaten now!!! THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND THIS IS FALSE INFORMATION! The menu on the website classes this dish as Vegan!! How can this be vegan when you have fried in same oil as meat!!! BOBS CAFE PLEASE EXPLAIN!!!! What else is vegetarian or vegan that has been contaminated with meat oil or products????? I don't trust what I eat here now, will definitely be warning my vegetarian and vegan friends!! This place is not suitable for vegetarians!!! You don't know what you are eating!!! Thank you to the waitress who informed me of all this today. UPDATED 25 JUNE. After leaving my review I did get a call back, they were very apologetic but were happy to hear our concerns which they have taken into account to rectify.

I am not from London. This is a lot more than a cafe where I come from. It is more of a restaurant that does breakfasts.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staffs and nice food. We only had dessert but the place was full. Lots of them people came for dinner. I would go back.

The hot chocolate with marshmallows was soo good. Will definitely be back to try other things on the menu

We had a lovely breakfast today in Bob's café Muswell hill! Denisa, Rodiana looked after us very well. Food was amazing and the service High standards! Thank you everyone

We went on a Wednesday night, half full restaurant, the food was good but service was AWFUL. We had to ask for everything, can we order drinks, where are our drinks, please can we get sauces, please can we have the bill (often twice) the only time initiative was taken was to clear our plates :/ quite disappointing

Absolutely fabulous! we had the English breakfast and l asked for a veggie sausage, I couldn’t believe how good it was! Mu hubby ordered the blueberry banana pancake and loved it and the coffee was excellent!The service was super friendly and warm and the atmosphere was just buzzing. A great experience!Highly recommend!

I was raised as a vegetarian since birth I am not a converted one . I do not want to eat fake meat which looks and tastes like real one . It is for people who have become vegetarian in later life and miss eating meat. I was served a veg burrito with fake lamb in it .It was not mentioned in the description of the dish. I felt a bit wierd taste and texture while eating it , so I stopped and enquired to make sure . They said it is so called " vegetarian lamp " . I explained that I can not eat it .They took it back . They looked quite perplexed and a but annoyed. I asked for just chips . In the bill, I was still charged for the burrito. They just discounted the drink £3.5. So I ended up with no luch but had to pay for it . I think it was really bad and felt decriminated as a vegetarians. They should clearly describe dishes. I am not going back to Bob's cafe .

A really stand-out restaurant for both quality of food and service. The menu has a fantastic range of delicious dishes. All great value for money. Fresh tasty ingredients and generous portions. The staff are brilliant. Top-notch service and super friendly and welcoming. Also a restaurant that is truly dog friendly. Not just that dogs are allowed but they are truly welcomed and celebrated! Love this restaurant- highly recommend.

Quite an inventive menu, the vegan burrito I had was good.

If you are in Muswell Hill with family or on business, you cannot go wrong with Bobs Cafe. Just had a lovely breakfast watching the world go by.

Bob's Cafe is a spacious all day brunch restaurant right in the heart of Muswell hill. It extends quite far inside, so you can be sure to find a space to sit - even with groups. When we entered, we were greeted promptly and nicely. The staff was quick to help and food was served only after a few minutes. The drinks were really nice, especially the coolers. The food was tasty and the portions quite large, so you can be sure to be satisfied at the end! On star reduction mainly due to the addition of herb/garlic butter to the schnitzel. The lemon would've been sufficient and the butter takes away from the schnitzel flavor. Other than that I would definitely recommend!

Nice atmosphere the food was good.The staff were very helpful.

Few things give you a simpler joy than a nice Sunday brunch overlooking the city from Muswell Hill at Bob's cafe. The atmosphere is lovely, and the service is phenomenal. The food is itself excellent, and the staff are always welcoming. The only downsides are that the menu is extremely heavy on eggs - the savoury brunch options without eggs are quite limited (which can be understandable for a brunch menu, but there should at least be an option to sub them out). It would be great if the two person tables were more comfortable and/or slightly larger, too

Wonderful café in the heart of Muswell Hill! Decor is enveloping and immersive. Service is just top-notch! Our waitress was extremely helpful, attentive and efficient. We had a happy tea and even without us asking for it, she kindly brought us a pot with extra hot water when she noticed that our cups were half-empty and the tea got cold as we were drinking it slowly. Food is of the highest standard as well. The menu offers plenty of vegan and gluten-free dishes. Thank you Bob’s, we had a fantastic lunch here with friends who were equally impressed. Highly recommend this place!

I went today with my ma and my sister and we had an incredible experience. The atmosphere was lovely; relaxed but bright, the music was played loud enough to hear but low enough to not impair conversation. All the members of staff were attentive, friendly and so very wonderful. The food was fantastic and filling (I wish we had taken more pictures). We absolutely loved our visit and will definitely return again!

Yet to have a bad time here. Good, filling food at a great price for London. Great service even when very busy. Expect a short wait on peak hours, it's a local favourite spot. I always make time to eat here when I'm in town.

My go to food when I’m in London! A great selection of yummy food, for breakfast lunch and dinner with a strong variety and veggie options. Food is great quality and made in good time! Chicken tacos and avocado smash burger go hard. The cafe is cute with a cosy atmosphere which is helped by very friendly and helpful staff, both waiters and managers make you feel like family! Great beverage selection as well and some of the best coffee I’ve had!

Amazing atmosphere, friendly staff in special Adina , she help me to choose a tasty breakfast.

Amazing service! Everyone is so nice and welcoming. The food is great and very reasonably priced. Their brunch looks yummy as well, will definitely be back to try that as well!

I have often dropped into Bob’s for a tea or a bite to eat. Without exception the staff have been terrific, the food delicious (and clearly prepared very carefully) and the atmosphere welcoming. Anecdotally, this would seem to be the consensus amongst most people I know on Muswell Hill too. Highly recommended.

Amazing service!! Great atmosphere and really enjoyed the crispy cauliflower.

My chicken was literally raw ! They snatched it away when I complained before I could get a picture of it ! This has given me food poisoning and made me ill ! The staff was rude when complained and got really defensive. The manager was friendly and tried to help the situation but it was gone past that point. Definitely avoid !

Great atmosphere and nice service. Perfectly made latte.

My wife and I had dinner on 9th May in Bob's Cafe. We have been before and the food is always great. Two problems on this visit, the second I am now told has happened to a friend before. Just inside the door sitting on the left at tables for two were two women one of whom had a dog on her lap with its paws on the table and was being fed food from her plate. This is unhygienic and should not be allowed. Contact between animals and humans can transfer disease. The other issue was that a tall, young asian man was serving us. He is very efficient however he went from different tables to the serving area and then collected bin liners of rubbish which he took out the back door and put in the bins alongside Sainsbury's. On coming back in he went straight to the serving area and brought us two desserts without making any effort to wash his hands. I pointed this out to him and he seemed surprised. Whilst we were speaking another member of staff ( a female) did exactly the same, took rubbish bags out of the back door then returned directly to the serving area and collected food on plates and took these to tables. This is completely unacceptable. The male member of staff did come back to our table to say he had washed his hands after we asked him to but it wasn't obvious. There is a 5 star hygiene rating on the front door of Bob's but in practice these practices present a threat to diners and more staff training and understanding is required. We will not be returning to Bob's whilst these practices (dog's and bin contact) continue and reserve the right to inform Haringey Council. Our dinner cost over over £75, as I say the food is v good but there is a lot of room for improvement given the profit made at this restaurant.
