Joie De Vie in Barnet

Met some friends here for brunch. They were very accommodating, cleared a table specially for us and our friends' toddler. The food was excellent; I had a Croque Madam and my wife had Shakshuka. Service was friendly and efficient. We will definitely come back here again!

This is a lovely French style cafe and patisserie. Good coffee and excellent food. The crepes are freshly made and delicious, and I also very much enjoy the fresh croissants and pastries. There is an array of delicious and beautifully presented sweet and savoury foods. The staff are also excellent, helpful and kind. I would particularly mention Ingrid, Mohammed, Loutfi/ Loulou, Mana and Andrea, and the chefs who create the wonderful food. They all go out of their way for customers/ diners of all ages, dining solo or in groups. I particularly enjoy the music - old French songs or mellow jazz - thank you Mohammed. When the French music plays I feel transported to a holiday destination……. I thoroughly recommend this cafe.

Really pleased to visit my favourite patisserie and boulangerie now in Islington! The best light French bagettes, melt in the mouth eggs, delightful crepes, cracking coffee, the best local family business. Oh and the FRENCH TOAST is mouth watering. Oh and the freshly baked almond croissant is a huge delight on the palate!
