Cafe Anglais in Barnet

Pretty decent place with quite good food.

The main reason for the negative review is because of the menu situation. They won't give you a menu at your table because they say it's unhygienic? Basically they are too lazy to wipe down menus even though you can see they have them at the till. They point to the menu above the counter.. I have good eyesight so I didn't have a problem seeing the majority of the menu but some of it was obscured by pillars so you had to get up or try and find the menu online. Waste of time. The eggs were undercooked but I can't get over the stupid menu situation what a backwards concept making it more difficult for your customers. No other cafe has this hygiene issue so I think it's just an excuse to be lazy. Physical menus have been around for years and years but this place wants to reinvent the wheel

My gf and I both had breakfast here and got sick. The only thing we both had in common was eggs so maybe it was just a bad batch, but we won’t be going back.

Best tasting and portions of English breakfast and burgers ever tried for a reasonable price in London! Such a hidden gem in NW vicinity behind the colourful scaffolding. Most kind and friendly staff, highly recommend trying the place :)

I bought a takeaway halloumi salad huge portion of fresh vegetables and a big portion of halloumi

Great breakfast Fabulous choice at a reasonable price I had poached egg, smashed avocado on toast. My wife had sausage egg and chips.

Food was freshly made and very tasty. The portions were very worth the price! Service was great and all the staff was lovely. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic, old fashioned cafe serving pretty much everything from breakfast to early dinner. In a spot where this is sorely needed. Also, big choice, vegetarian friendly and speedy, brisk service.

We are regular customers at Cafe Anglais. Always love the breakfast they serve here. Such big, delicious portions for a good price.

Great location, wonderful ambiance even though it was being renovated Sadly my coffee was weak, my muffin was a little dry and the price a little high

So far, so good. Hot food and clean environment. Good price and fast service.

Best cafe in the area by a mile! Love it However, about time they finished the renovation. From the outside looks like a building site

It was a really good experience, and the food was amazing.

Good food, but well over priced. I used to eat in the past as well, but not very often. This time I ordered breakfast: one egg, one sausage, 3 slices of fried tomatoes, 2 slices of bacon, 2 slices toasted bread and an expreso and I paid 14 pounds (9.60 for the breakfast, 1.40 for the toast and 2.80 for the expresso). To be honest this is exaggerated for a place mainly with OSB panels on the walls and exposed 4x2 timbers.

I didn't eat. colleague insisted on taking his break there !

One of the best places I’ve tried ever great food quality amazing all out

Such a lovely place with such friendly and smiling staff. The smell of fresh food is amazing. Worth visiting for Sunday Sunday breakfast.

Great Cafe is highly recommended for breakfast and brunch

Best cafe around. Been going here since I was a child and will continue going for a long time yet.

What a find. An English breakfast caff run by an owner who is a self-driven fanatic about quality in food ingredients. You won't find higher quality bacon at the (excellent) Stafford Hotel (*****) and I don't think even they offer homemade Bubble and Squeak (part of the Bacon, Sausage, Beans, Bubble and Squeak). The sausage, likewise, is good. Eggs Florentine drapes perfect homemade Hollandaise Sauce on spinach layered across two soft-boiled large eggs sitting on English muffins. All this, and a good cup of tea to boot! Note: They are an all-day cafe. Only breakfast tried, but a return is planned with anticipation.

Great Cafe. I've eaten at loads of cafes around the UK and I must say this is in my top three plus it's local. The food is well cooked and the portions are huge. Love this place

Always a great clean plate of food.

Food is as delicious as English breakfast always is

Regular visitor here. Basic food prepared nicely with friendly staff.

Absolutely amazing experience and amazing food and the owner or manager is amazing with his customer service.

Bit rough with the deckcor but makes up with the food

The food and service were excellent and they were very accommodating with our dietary needs. The team were absolutely lovely.

amazing food, great prices and very accommodating

I love coming here. The staff are very welcoming and warm. Lovely food and brilliant service. Keep up the good work

The food and the service are decent.

Over the last week, my colleague and I decided to break away from the usual golden arches breakfast routine. We opted for Cafe Anglais for a change, indulging in their delightful toasties. The experience left us impressed; our daily breakfasts became moments of silent appreciation, especially for the delicious grilled cheese. I later switched to a request for baked beans, cheese, and chillies, which truly hit the spot, evoking childhood memories. I highly recommend this place, and the impeccable orange juice is an added bonus.

I always wanted to try this cafe so I did at last the other day went for English breakfast with coffee which was costed £10.50 so I was not very impressed with it because there is nothing special about it and it’s just normal cafe with a bit run down building and decoration specially for Christmas time I expect to see better and there prices I would say over priced for the portion they serve plus the service was just normal and they table and cutlery could do with more cleaning and replacing. So I would say was just first and last time for me to this place as was nothing special about it to make me go again and maybe would not recommend either to anyone.

One of the finest cafes in London. A little pricey but food is well worth it, very clean and quick service. Been a regular for me for years

Gréât place nice staff but à little bit much monéy but good food

THE FOOD IS SOO TASTY AND STAFF DO THE BEST SERVICE FOR CUSTOMERS! I RECOMMEND!

Yummy food available everyday. Best place to eat english breakfast.

It's a greasy spoon, that's overpriced & I won't be setting foot in there ever again. A small plate of food for over a tenner with a cup of lukewarm tea... Drop your prices & pick your act up... Would of given one star but the waitresses were all polite.

I am changing my review of cafe anglais to praise Marly he is a Good man who has made huge efforts to turn this cafes reputation for treating women with disrespect around. (The priviouse review was made during the time his partner was more involved) (I feel i must be clear that Marly has always been a respectful Godly man) I now feel that due to the hard work that Marley has put in and his enlightend mindset that the cafe is a more harmonious environment and respectfull toward its staff and customers. The rude names and misogynistic energy that was once a demonic plague upon this place has been washed away and replaced with a loverly clean happy and respectfull environment that im more than happy to bring my three young doughters too.

Bacon Beef Burger very nice worth the £ the chap that service myself needs a MBE the lady waiter rudeness she is rush to collect my empty plate when is the building work going to finish any idea :) thank you for good food great price

Does exactly what it says on the Tin. Take my dad down there for Sunday brunch

Friendly stuff and nice atmosphere.

I love going there I love the coffee I love their food I love their service very nice place to be.

Good honest cafe food served with a smile. It’s always busy and that says it all

Service was great. Couldn't fault with the atmosphere as the shop is going through a refeb and they have had to make it small to make into a big one.

Good food, in the middle of an extension building program

First time in this cafe. Think they are doing it up as it’s very bare inside. Food and coffee was really good though, so we will definitely be back

Great English Breakfast and other breakfast options, lovely lunch menu, always fresh coffe, served by a friendly staff.

Not the cheapest but always good food and service.

I have been coming here for a few years and I love it! Great food, great staff and great prices!

Good tasty food at a reasonable price. Premises clean and very quick service from friendly staff.

Quality products good price nice staff 👌

It may not seem a nice restaurant from the look but you have to try it. The staff is the best, so nice and friendly. The food is so cheap and good. They do the best flat white I’ve ever had. Pastries are good as well as hot food. Highly recommended!!

A fantastic, efficient cafe. Staff are very attentive and friendly. Best local cafe i have been too with a brilliant vibe. Looking forward to the renovation!

Great breakfast and really nice staff.

Average cafe for break Best thing is the staff trying work in and around refurbishing we’re still beat The breakfast that I got was a bit pricey than what I expected, but the quality was average to good

Great portion of beans, friendly staffs.

My go to cafe, good quality and very quick & friendly service

Excellent food at very affordable prices very enjoyable and very helpful staff.

Really Tasty and Nice Food was Nicely well done and the best thing is they had Halal English breakfast will be coming here again

The full breakfast is filling. As long as you're not in for a small one and like black pudding.

Best cafe by a mile lovely staff even better food

The menu has great choices the food is tasty and hot. Great service and friendly staff I love that they have the heaters inside I had a delicious apple pie I would go there again

Slightly expensive. But amazing food. Could do with doing it up inside as it is just bordered up.

This place if you're hungry for a proper fry up breakfast, large portions, open from 6am, a good start to the day!

Sad because I was regular customer going every week but for the last month they have changed their ingredients. The sausages are awful and pink inside. I won’t be going back for a long time as the meat they serve is disgusting including the bacon. Back to Frankies cafe it is! Not also that they haven’t finished refurbishing they’re shop which has been going on for over a year or 2…

Very expensive and not great quality food

The food is very good but the best thing about the place is the staff. The girls are so friendly - always smiling and helpful. And you don’t get that anymore in busy cafes these days.

Nice cafe for breakfast! Staff are very friendly.

I've been here first time but I'm very impressed. Food and coffee was delicious for a very good value for money. Staff is very friendly and helpful and atmosphere in caffee is nice. If I compare to a starbucks or Costa I would say I had much better and tasty food and coffee here for much cheaper than in Costa. They have big selection of food and drinks on the menu and they all look fantastic. I will definitely come back again.

Very nice and friendly, it could do a bit of refurbishment other then that it perfect

Good quality overall, sausages are below expectations

Nice place to grab breakfast. Staff are nice and friendly and the food was good. Highly recommend.

Always good, the staff are very good, the food is superb, but it is still a semi building site .

Amazing place. Went here after dropping the car off for a service nearby and stranded in an unfamiliar part of town. Full of locals having their breakie, having banter, reading the paper. Proper community vibe. Food was also great, well priced. It’s a greasy spoon but not at all depressing in the way that some can be. It’s cheered me right up. Long may this place continue and good health to all the old boys necking their full english breakfasts

Good food, very nice and friendly

As a group, I suggested convening at Cafe Anglais as it was a local point of interest for me; in the vicinity of our minibus rental. Despite being refurbished, the surroundings were friendly; vibrant and welcoming. The staff were polite and offered great customer service - I very much appreciated being able to make a bespoke salad for example (with added suggestions from the chef!) Pricing was very fair and the quality of the ingredients were way above par. Overall, it was a brilliant experience; with quality produce, excellent value for money and wonderful staff. I will definitely be a return customer to enjoy the full dining experience (this time was to go).

This restaurant is awesome. Although this restaurant doesn't do deliveries but they offer nice food. Nice people who work there especially the lady who is waitress over there, amazing. I am tge regular customer over there. Today also i am going to have my routine food.

First time back here in years. Service has always been top class and no change. Food was really good

Buen café y buenos desayunos!! El zumo de naranja está delicioso! personal muy amable. Lo recomiendo 100%

I was very impressed with this little cafe very friendly polite and helpful were the staff? The place is under construction so it looks a little rough from the outside but didn't inhibit our visit one bit the food was amazing and the portions were gigantic. And it tasted fabulous with highly recommend this place. Especially for the full English breakfast

I ordered a full English breakfast that had two sunny eggs, ham, beans, mushrooms, toast, tomatoes, potatoes, sausages and black pudding - it had satisfied my craving. The portion was large enough for two people and the price was reasonable. They took attention on packaging when I asked them to pack my food.

Good breakfast, friendly staff although the fresh orange juice was slightly more expensive than I would have liked, it was really good nonetheless

Very lovely place to eat.Came a while a go ,the lady at the counter was very polite .Will come back

Went for breakfast, service was good, got our breakfast quite quickly. Food was on point. Will visit again. Prices was reasonable

Visited friday it has always been a great place for breakfast but not any more. Two eggs bacon hash browns beans two toast and a tea sausage thrown in £ 9-60 I know prices have risen but thats taking the piss

Was stopping at nearby Premier Inn, thank goodness found Cafe Anglais , the Edgware Rd NW9 is non stop takeaway joints, none looking that appealing. We had lunch, evening meal and a breakfast here all generous proportioned and well cooked/presented. Not cordon Bleu just honest to goodness good grub.. Once food ordered service is by waitress, staff are attentive and friendly. Even though the extensive refurbishment building work is in progress, one would not know apart from sterling board walls! Was absolutely over joyed to find a real cafe like they used to once be. Well done to management hope you go from strength to strength

Building work for super new extension nearly finished. Always busy.

A Ma and Pa store with a lovely atmosphere, great service and ok prices. Veggie options on breakfast and I'm having the Lasagne next time with salad and chips for £8.00. The teas and coffees alone are worth checking this classic working class cafe jem out for.....you could almost be in an Ealing Studios film set!!!! I also really like the temporary hording outside which has been there years as its bright and colourful....check this place out as they deserve a leg up against the chain store boys.

Excellent food with friendly staff and owner, always a pleasure

Friendly, welcoming staff that made our breakfast all the more enjoyable. The big British breakfast is 😋

The best cafe for traditional & contemporary breakfasts in this part of town. Perfect eggs. I had the eggs royale, just SUPERB ! Freshly squeezed orange & fantastic coffee just complimented my brunch. Menu looks vast and lots of hot dinners too. From meats cooked freshly to VEGAN too. I could see a lot of clientele frequent this cafe regularly. Lovely atmosphere so friendly especially the owners & staff. They’re under refurbished but that’s no trouble within the cafe. Even the hoarding has added to it’s appeal. Fabulous place, a must try I highly recommend. Much better than the cafe up the road. Professional service here with a smile 10/10

Brilliant as always,youse do eat in it every day in the 90s and wasn't disappointed today either it was lovely

Lovely cafe just like I remember it from a decade ago. The food is still very good and the service is fantastic.

Am a regular here and the food and service is amazing.. Portions are huge and... We actually drive 6 miles to eat here!

Fresh cooked meals and daily specials, service with a smile,, recommended

It is so bad I wanna give it a 0 but that is not possible so I give it a 1 The sausage was so nasty it tasted like a dirty dish cloth why was the scramble egg so bright orange why was it one big construction site why did nobody warn me when I walked in that it is nasty

One of the best place to buy a good coffee.

Went to this place after a long gym session and was ready for an All Day Breakfast and a cup of tea. The outside of the store is lovely even while they are in construction. The inside is quite cosy as well. Vast menu and fair prices for what is on the plate. Customer service was splendid by being polite, getting straight to the point and reaching out if we ever needed something. Will definitely be back again. Good work from the team xx

Very nice food and cheerful staff

Always a great place for coffee. Never eaten but food looks and smells lovely
