I can not put into words how so delicious the food is. You can tell that that Chef uses the best ingredients and alot of love goes into the dishes. The whole experience was wonderful. We ordered two to three items from each course and it was absolutely delicious. It's a beautiful touch that Chef actually serves some of the dishes himself and talks to the guests. If you like French cuisine this is the place to go... when your done... you'll be in love with it.

Best in London - if you are looking for quality food look no further. Every course was a delight.

I’m deaf, perhaps that unfairly shades my judgement of atmosphere as the jolly atmosphere was very noisy and I found it difficult to adjust hearing aids to reduce background noise. That said, food, service were impeccable. I adored the radishes, bean purée with crisp thin slices of toasted baguette, the baguette and butter, the olives, my fish soup could hardly be bettered and its croutons excellent. Wife and guest had seared duck’s liver with a glass of a very pleasant sticky, they followed with duck confit with lentils, I with a large slice from a big turbot with salsify and trompettes in an impeccable anchovy butter. We had a glass of respectively a pleasant house red and white which were very decent, good plain water and bottled fizzy water. Puddings wife and I shared a great Pear Tarte Tatin, our guest a superbly light and delightful rum baba accompanied by hot rum syrup. For £240 we thought that also good value for a most enjoyable meal.

We visited on a busy Saturday evening and as someone who’s worked in the trade I need to say I was so so impressed. We have stayed away from restaurants lately as we have had some poor experiences. This was a masterclass in how’s it’s done. First class service with some of the best cooking I’ve had in a long time. Starters of scallops, liver parfait and a classic crab tian were followed by melt in the mouth pigs cheeks, wonderfully cooked sea bass and a sublime confit of duck. Finished the evening with a raspberry soufflé and a rich chocolate mousse. We drove an hour to dine here and would gladly drive more!! Probably good for my waist that we don’t live around the corner.

What more can i say than Les 2 Garçons being now my favourite place to eat. As soon as you walk in you are greeted by the jovial and wonderful J-C who makes sure to keep a smile on your face. Safe to say we ate like kings from the pictures, i would recommend the Scallops with the endive butter sauce, and the Pear Tarte Tatin as being outrageously good. But by all means our other courses were beyond anything else i’ve had from any other restaurants. To keep an insanely delicious array of dishes and have it be that way consistently throughout the course of our meal made us question how it was possible for food to taste this good. You have to thank the larger than life character that is Chef Robert who you can see in the dining hall taking orders and talking with clients. Which adds a dimension to Les 2 Garçons that you rarely see anywhere else. Anyway if you’ve not been, you’re missing out big time

We've had some wonderful meals here and Robert Reid's food is much loved and something special. Wines are delicious and good value. But a recent evening with old friends was spoiled by the 'vacate your table in 1.45 hours' policy. Of course, as JC reminded us (loudly!) 'you were told'. We were. Many London restaurants do the same, and we all understand why: costs are rising inexorably; it's getting harder and harder for restaurants to make ends meet. Especially small local treasures like this. At the same time, the pressure of rapid turn around isn't great for customers or staff. If eating out starts to feel like a conveyor belt experience, won't it simply be more relaxing to stay at home? I don't know the answer, but we left feeling sad.

I've been wanting to go here for a while and managed to plan ahead and get a reservation. The food is very French and very very delicious! We went on a rainy evening and ordered the French onion soup which was deliciously cheesy and had tons of flavor in the broth. The bread was toasted really well and retained that texture that you want in a French onion soup till the last bite! For our mains, my husband ordered the duck with lentils and I had the fish. The fish was phenomenal! Incredibly light but complex flavor. I chose to get Dauphinois potatoes on the side. That was perhaps not the best idea. It seemed to be lacking a little bit salt and just didn't really go well with the fish. Entirely my fault! The duck itself was a tad on the dry side but it ate very well with all the rest of the items on the plate. The lentils were absolutely perfectly cooked and very delicious! Both mains were very generously sized. The star of the night was the pear tart Tatin. You get an entire tart!! It is super flaky, perfectly caramelized and not overly sweet.

Make sure you book before you go! We booked and came in a hot summers day. suffice to say, there is no air conditioning and they had a few oscillating fans but was still suffocating hot inside… Despite that, the food we got was all so delicious. It felt like a very family owned restaurant where the chef cares about each individual dish served. All but one was absolutely delicious… would still come again but not order that one let down. We didn’t quite like the confit ducks it felt dry, the skin had peeled off, and just tasted bland. the sauce was also sub par… not sure how this dish got served when everything else was 5/5. Highly recommended still !

A beautiful meal from start to finish. The staff were courteous from the moment we walked in through the door and the food was just delicious. It’s no wonder it has an excellent reputation as the food is purely wholesome but incredibly flavoursome and tasty. Alongside a great wine menu and cocktails too, it’s worth a trip out of the centre for, if you’re visiting London!

I’d go so far as to say this is the best French restaurant I’ve tried in London… and I’ve put in the research! Almost full marks across food service and atmosphere but would just like the waiting staff to be a little less French and a little friendlier. Food wise, the concise seasonal menu and a brilliant selection of specials will have you struggling to choose. Starters: Our table tried the pate and the gazpacho, divine. Main: fish and steak options all wonderful Dessert: creme custard type dessert was smooth and the tarte tatin got rave reviews We try not to ask for changes but swapping out cream for ice cream in dessert felt like no trouble. Wine went down a treat Will be back.

Really enjoyed our dinner here Tuesday evening! And the critical frenchies in our group were also pleased (phew, since I chose the resto :)) Scallops (on the specials, cooked perfectly well, though a tad pricey at £19 for only 2 small pieces), cote de boeuf (cooked very well), fish stew (delightful flavour though the squid could use an extra 2-3 mins to be a bit more tender), duck confit were all delicious. The pear tarte tatin base was lovely (the pear just needed a couple more mins of cooking to be perfect). The chocolate mousse was a fantastic consistency. And the rhum baba was moist. Great wine list and twas nice to see the chef popping out every so often as well. We can see how / why the place was packed on a Tues evening.

The Apricot Rum Baba dessert: so fluffy and the rum on top was absolutely perfect 👌🏼who invented this combo? Absolutely genius. 3. I also loved how the chef came out and said hi to us. Lovely atmosphere, good place to get well fed, and do some walks in nearby park. Thank you, definitely will come back and recommend! Merrrrcii! 😋

Good recommendations from the waitress. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Very well flavoured food. Portion size is okay for the price. Lovely presented. Escargot- well balanced and very flavourful. Duck and Mellon - loved the smoked duck. Interesting pairing for me. Creme caramel - not too sweet, or heavy, a great dessert to finish lunch

Inconsistent cooking of very traditional French food. My experience was 7/10, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if on another day one might have an 8+ meal here. Had dinner here with one other person. One starter each, one main each, one shared dessert, tap water only. Bill was just over £90 including service. Ordered tomato and burrata from the specials and the endive, beetroot, caramelised walnut, and blue cheese salad from the main menu as starters. Tomato dish was very pleasant, nice tomatoes and a piece of burrata with a few basil leaves. For me, it's hard to justify paying something like £12 for that. At that price I'd expect another element (an olive crostini, for example). A very nice dish at 2/3 that price, but too expensive for what it was. 6/10 Endive and beetroot salad was bordering on unpleasant. In my head, the caramelised walnuts would have been plentiful and generously candied to balance the bitterness of the endive. Instead, I got a miserly dusting of walnuts, just about candied, that gave nowhere near enough sweetness to balance things. Worse still, the dressing tasted overwhelmingly of truffle oil, which paired well with the blue cheese, but meant the whole dish consisted exclusively of aggressive undertones. Get rid of the truffle oil and add in some pieces of roasted pear and you'd have a much better dish. 4/10 Mains were bourguignon with mashed potato and roasted sea bass with fennel. Bourguignon was cooked very nicely, incredibly succulent meat, but every element on the dish was lukewarm as though it had sat on the pass for an extended time before service. Onions were nice, but could have been seared harder; mushrooms were desperate for some colour and were quite bland without it. Sauce had very nice flavour, but didn't have the texture and shine that you'd expect from a really good sauce made with a heavily reduced stock and a miroire. Mashed potato was excellent, very smooth and quite obviously groaning with butter. Really lifted the dish. Little garlic parsley croute was a nice way of introducing some texture and a punch of flavour variety, but was sadly also a bit cold. Had everything been served at the correct temperature, this would have been an 8, but as it was, 7/10. Sea bass was the standout. Cooked on the bone, very moist, with deeply caramelised fennel and a smattering of herbs. No issues with this dish whatsoever. 9/10. Dessert was a bay leaf creme cassonade, which is a fancy way of saying creme brulee. Cassonade is a brown sugar, but they used coconut sugar for no obvious reason. I have admiration for them trying a dessert with an unusual flavour, but it just doesn't add anything. As it was, it was a mediocre creme brulee with an underwhelmingly crunchy top. 7/10 There is undeniably good cooking to be found here, but there was also a lot of indifferent cooking. The dishes are quite straightforward with well known flavour combinations. That's not a criticism, that's just an expected function of this being a French bistro. The problem, however, it that it leaves little room for error, and my experience here was that the food is very much not without error. Quick notes on everything else. The room is quite dark and very loud and small. Some may like that, others not. It's cosy but hard to hold a conversation. Waiting staff were friendly enough, but a tad hasty. The restaurant is clearly at capacity almost non-stop, and good on them for that.

Traditional, perfectly executed food. Good choice of dishes plus a specials board. What is really worth mentioning, is it was extremely good value. I felt the customer is respected, food that does not cut corners, quality ingredients, cooked with care and the plating was assured. Sometimes that is exactly what you want but rarely find. I highly recommend booking at jumping into a taxi for a perfect dinner in a lovely brasserie.

I had missed their several calls and emails to confirm my booking so was at first concerned when arriving that the booking was technically cancelled, but that they had kept a table for us just in case so that was very nice of them and I was very relieved. Great atmosphere, very buzzy at 6:30 on a Friday evening. Lots of service staff around which is always a great sign, with (I think) the two owners being a very present maitre d' and a chef, with the chef taking our orders for our mains and checking how we wanted our food. I'm vegan and being a French place unsurprisingly there aren't loads of options, but the radish and bean dip appetiser, and the artichoke bean and ratatouille main were both extremely tasty and perfect for springtime. The sort of food that you think 'maybe I could make that at home' but would never end up being close to the same quality of flavour. I was just glad that I ordered some bread as well because my main didn't come with anything carby, maybe some simple potatoes would have been nice. All in all a lovely experience near to home, and I thanked the owner again on the way out for accommodating us.

Second visit. Food is excellent. Personally, I find the space too loud and cramped but that won’t be an issue for everyone. Amazing tuna carpaccio starter was 10/10. We did get two email requests for booking confirmation 1-2 days before. I’d already confirmed the first time so didn’t appreciate the hassle of needing to reconfirm the next day. Not sure if this was in error but would be great if it didn’t happen again - I appreciate no shows are a pain.

Classic French food done well is so hard to find and Les 2 Garcons is the best French food I've eaten in the UK. We also had a lovely bottle of bordeaux with our mains.

I ordered a foie gras that came with a blackcurrant quince, a morel mushroom with shaved truffle toppings, and escargots as a starter ; the foie gras was incredible, the quince of blackcurrant was the perfect accompaniment to the foie gras, an excellent choice to enhance an incredibly tasty foie gras. The other starter with morel mushrooms and truffle shavings was another master class in enhancing the flavour of quality ingredients, it was delicious. The escargots were very nice too! As a main I had a Beef Tartare, one of the best I have ever tasted in my life! I finished the meal with a Baba’ with apricot compote and chantilly cream flambéed at the table. This was incredible, and it came with a free rhubarb side to appease my disappointment in not bringing able to order the Tarte Tatin( it appears that it has to be ordered in advance, but the website does not mention this anywhere). All in all an incredible experience, I can’t wait to go back to order the rest of the menu ( and the Tarte Tatin ! )

Wow, possibly the best fish dish I've ever eaten. I dream about the sea bass dish, it was that good. Service was lovely. Only complaint was it was a bit cramped, so felt a little claustrophobic with waiters having to squeeze between tables and chairs. Will definitely go back though, as food was lovely.

We'd heard many great things about Le 2 Garcons ahead of our evening there, and our experience lived up to them all. We started with the radish, white bean and garlic dip, classic French onion soup and sourdough. For mains, the blackboard specials took our eye and we enjoyed the roast monkfish, steak tartare with fries, complimented by an excellent house red from the Cotes Du Rhone. The restaurant has a charming, authentic atmosphere and the staff were very welcoming and attentive throughout. We'll certainly be coming back.

Food was first class. Which is why it was disappointing for us to be in such a noisy space. It felt a little as though the restauranteurs were relaxed about it, but when a place is so noisy, forget chatting through the albeit excellent meal. The girl at next table just got louder and louder as the meal went on because she couldn't hear either ..and so did everyone else. I'd never book it again unless something's done to create or encourage a calmer atmosphere! Such a shame. But we applaud the chef for sure. Bill for two was around £120. We declined dessert simply to leave sooner than anticipated!

Sorry Conchita - I was the girl at the next table - not the restaurant's fault really - I am loud everywhere because I'm partially deaf - hope I didn't ruin your evening at this amazing restaurant

Superb French food (cod, beetroot salad, apple tart) in a beautiful little space with very friendly service.

Had a fantastic meal at Les 2 Garçons - a great local bistro worthy of a visit! The menu offered some broad choices and every plate which arrived was full of flavour. The team was exceptionally welcoming, attentive, and warm throughout the entire meal, despite it being busy. Can’t wait to go back!

Only regret is that I was too stuffed for the tartin. So will have to return for that. It's one of the gems that you will return again and again.

Amazing dinner at this restaurant, main and dessert were fabulous, I really recommend the lemon tart, the service was also really good 👌🏻 the only downside it's that's really noisy and difficult to have a conversation.

A lovely menu but mediocre food. Our frites arrived 10 minutes after our steak and were not cooked long enough. No apology given and hence not a restaurant we'd return to.

Fabulous cooking, menu appears traditional French but has unique twists. Great service effortless and very prompt but not rushed. A gem in the heart of Crouch End. Desserts were simple but incredibly good.

Voilà, le dinner était superbe! Great atmosphere! Great food! Good earthy French food served in a lovely cosy surrounding. My duck confit was very tender, I loved it! Definitely a place to go, several times! Highly recommended

All good are great, you will feel like you already in Japan with the food which is delicious and may be better than some Japan restaurants This was the visit in Oct 2023. At that day, we met a couples at the next table who are a doctor and a biologist and they visit this restaurant a lot. I hope I can contact them.
