Came here for a birthday brunch and the atmosphere and service was really good the staff was very friendly when we came. The food was really nice would definitely come back again

Really lovely for workers, especially Hazel. The food made my day lots of flavour and the furniture is stylish and comfortable!!

Hazel was amazing she was friendly, welcoming and respectful. She made me and my family feel so comfortable and welcoming with her warm embrace which we appreciated.

All I have say is WOW ! The food was amazing I genuinely enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Staff was super friendly and welcoming I personally want to thank Hazel for her hospitality. I will definitely be back !

Hazel was amazing and she made me and my family feel soo comfortable. I would definitely be back, the food was delicious and I recommend you to try it!

I love the service and hazel was amazing with her hospitality

We love Lovage excellent service delicious food and Margaritas. Hazel our waitress today was great

Great experience, loved the service and the food was amazing.

the food came out extremely fast, it was a great experience

Food could be better. Waiters are bad. When it comes to handling money and handling service charge waiters are terrible. Unable to properly communicate with customers please hire workers who can count. Thank you x

This is my 2nd time visiting here, lovely atmosphere, 10/10 customer service & food, the menu has a good selection (I recommend the Ruby Hot Chocolate 😍) This is my go to spot and would recommend to anyone!

Wonderful place with amazing staff and great food. We came here on a Saturday early afternoon for brunch and everything was perfect. We will definitely come back here.

10/10 food and service. ordered nutella french toast brunch and american breakfast. food was delicious

Very filling food , taste great and great customer service .The waiting time isn’t long and they attend to your needs whenever you need .The shop is very clean and i definitely enjoyed the time spent here

The food was so good, came out in a timely fashion, also very presentable!

A beautiful and cozy cafe/restaurant. I loved the lighting aesthetic as well. The food was great, especially the French toast and came out relatively quickly. Staff were super friendly and warming. Will definitely be back! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Very lovely place, I’ve visited twice now, with family and with friends. It has a lovely welcoming atmosphere. Food quality is amazing and they adapt well to dietary requirements. All staff are friendly and smiley

Good service, delicious food and will definitely be returning.

Had a lovely coffee and cannot wait to try the menú as the food looks amazing.

The Lovage Bistro is a nice place to come and have a bite to eat & drink. Beautiful cocktails 🍹 Excellent service from the staff.

Decent breakfast. Service a bit slow even when not full.

Have been here a few times now for lunch and breakfast. The service is excellent - attentive but not too invasive and the food cost, quality and taste are all to a high standard. In particular the hamburger was delicious!! Portion sizes are just right. People seem to love the hot chocolate but I always forget to try and get the excellent coffee. Overall it is highly recommended.

Such a disappointing experience. The food was tasteless, service was poor, waitresses were not attentive, and the vibe is not friendly or welcoming. The food we ordered was especially disappointing as it was bland and dry, there was nothing enjoyable about our experience here. I have been to plenty of other brunch spots, but this one is by far the worst.

Appalling food and extremely poor service! The waiters were not attentive at all, the food was extremely bland that I only had a couple of bites and left it. Because there was a long queue at Beam, I had to go here to eat but I immediately regretted it as we all left hungry. Save your money and time and eat elsewhere!

I love this place! So welcoming and aesthetically pleasing! Food is 10/10 and service is also great. Want to visit again soon!

Perfect breakfast! Big portion and really nice atmosphere😊

I visited yesterday for a post-valentine’s breakfast! We both ordered the American Breakfast. It was delicious, the pancakes were fluffy, the hash browns were crispy and fruit fresh. I ordered a cappuccino, the coffee art was a nice touch and my partner ordered a tropical beach smoothie which she loved. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely visit again.

Great place for Brunch, lots of options. Food was lovely and it was nice and quiet the time we got there started getting busier when we were leaving about 12. Would recommend as staff were friendly and attentive.

I had a fantastic dining experience at Lovage Bistro! everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were well-balanced, the ingredients fresh, and the presentation was beautiful. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place for a great meal!

The restaurant is beautiful and I loved walking in. The issues arose after that. The service was poor, not a small, no asking how we are, it was very unfriendly. I ordered a salad which I ate only half of it. The dressing felt like it was from one of those supermarket pre-made dressings, it was overly sweet and gluey consistence. The avocado was mashed, my guess is that it was so hide that it was old, it was brown in color, either too old or oxidized, not good. Despite eating only half, no one asked me if I liked it of if there were any issues. When asking for the bill, the bill came with the machine put in front of us with not a word. Very rude and unfriendly. Won’t be back.

Huge portions for the breakfasts and a great selection - English, American and Mediterranean. The environment was lovely inside but quiet though we went early on a Sunday. Service was quick and helpful. Worth a visit especially because it's great l food and value - not a chain either. Good vegetarian options.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Lovage in Crouch End! The food was nothing short of amazing—everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. From the perfectly cooked eggs to the golden hash browns and the delightful mix of sweet and savory items, every bite was a treat. The attention to detail in the presentation truly elevated the meal. The service was outstanding as well—the staff were warm, attentive, and made the whole experience seamless. It’s clear they take pride in creating a welcoming environment for their guests. If you’re looking for a spot that offers incredible food, top-notch service, and great aesthetics, I highly recommend Lovage. It’s a must-visit gem in Crouch End!

Overpriced. Portions are by far too small. Coffee is just not drinkable. I was left hungry and I went to eat in another place. Not recommended.

Insanely good food. I’ve been travelling around Europe for the past 6 months and this is the best “full” breakfast I’ve had. I ordered the American breakfast. Every element was delicious individually which is very uncommon for big breakfast/English breakfast meals. And the value for money is ridiculous, I’ve paid far more for far less in other breakfasts meals. The pancakes were light fluffy and tasty with whilst having a crispy exterior. The fruit was well picked as it was sweet and flavourful. Hash browns were delicious and had a nice subtle herby flavour. The sausage although basic, complimented the rest of the dish well and you get 5 rashers of bacon! The staff are also attentive and the atmosphere is beautiful and calming. I would absolutely recommend you eat here and will be returning myself at some point.

I recently visited this cafe with a few friends for Sunday brunch, and it was beautiful!The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxing weekend catch-up. The staff were amazing—friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The food was 10/10! Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. But the standout for me was the French toast it was unreal! Perfectly cooked and so cute for Instagram pictures If you’re looking for a spot with excellent service, delicious food, and a welcoming vibe, this café is it. We’ll definitely be back, and I highly recommend giving it a try! Thank you again

I had the pleasure of enjoying brunch at Lovage, and it was exceptional! The dishes were fresh, creative, and full of flavor, with generous portions. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive. A perfect spot for a relaxing weekend meal. Highly recommend!

I came here for my friends bridal lunch. This place was well decorated and girlie. Service was great, staff were friendly, food came quickly. I got the chai latte and the lovage breakfast. Prices were great and reasonable

Loved the breakfast with pancakes I had

Delicious full english breakfasts, they also offer halal options. fancy mocktails and coffees & we absolutely loved their pancake tacos & french toast. Nice cost atmosphere & excellent service from Rosie. We will definitely be back again!

Amazing place! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. We will definitely come back. Thanks!

food: - very filling. - absolutely delicious. service: - super friendly. atmosphere: - peace n quiet. - not rowdy. - relaxing.

Saw this place as a recommendation but it’s not organised at all, spent waiting for the order for 45 mins for them to say our till wasn’t working but got other people food who came later? don’t recommend this place.

Very nice food at an affordable price and very nice staff.

Everything was cooked to perfection and the pancakes were so fluffy! 😍😍 Also, the service was 10/10 as well as the ambience. Looking forward to going back.

Had lunch today here. The Tikka Masala and Curry are great! So happy we came.

Absolutely disgusting customer service from every single staff member ESPECIALLY the man who is the owner. I found hair in my food which looked like facial hair YUCK!!!The manager did nothing about this situation.if i could give this place 0 stars i would. DONT WASTE UR MONEY HERE. This cafe also SUPPORTS GENOCIDE going on!!!Please go ahead and investigate all you want. When i was talking about the on going genocide one of your staff turnt around and said stop talking about this we don’t care!!?!!!?I came with a couple friends and obviously the reservation was under a different name. Stop tryna justify ur actions. Disgusting people.

Called them two times during the week the day before and the day of they stated that they were open on the day however after making a one and A half hour journey they were closed. Tried to call them no answer terrible customer service.

I turned up to Lovage on the 28th and it was closed, even though that I reserved ahead of time. No mention of closure on their Instagram either…

Hands down the best brunch I’ve had in a looong long time. The food is amazing. Service so friendly and quick!! We came here really randomly on a bank holiday and got a table straightaway too! So happy ! Thanks :)

Amazing food, quick and attentive service great ambiance will be back for sure!!!

Visited today for brunch and the food was lovely, 10/10. Restaurant was very aesthetically pleasing and cute. Service was great, particularly Emma who was so lovely, attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

The staff was very attentive, they served us very quickly and the food was really good, highly recommended!

Food was tasty and a good portion size. Staff very attentive and helpful. Would recommend for a lovely weekend treat!

Had a lovely brunch here catching up with a friend. Excellent service and enjoyed the food. We stayed there for ages without any pressure to leave. Complimentary pot of tea was welcomed. Would definitely return there and recommend.

Amazing food at Lovage. Very presentable and delicious too. I had the French toast brunch and my partner had The Posh One. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal - top 5 brunch place in our opinion. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. My partner is autistic and they turned down the music, dimmed the flickering lights and made it a pleasant experience for us. Would definitely come back 🥰🥰

Beautiful ambience and a great selection of food to choose from including tasty deserts. Would definitely recommend

absolutely stunning, the food, atmosphere & staff were amazing. 10/10 !!!

The food was very below standard. *Edited* From Lovage response you can see they’re a business which lacks accountability. The food in the picture is clearly from here and I can upload my receipt if required. I was here 27/01/2024 booking was 14:30. I will ensure that Google keeps my review up. As you can see in the picture, I got the french toast brunch and it was not nice. Too much biscotti which was on the egg and meat leaving no place to put my beans. I can see they’ve now updated to menu to add biscotti as an extra, when I went, it came with biscotti and was too sickly. Ideally sweet should be served on another plate. The service was not the best slow and not friendly. I’d say the ruby hot chocolate was the best I’ve had it was lovely but they forgot the marshmallows… When mentioned, the man had a bit of a negative approach. Definitely not the best brunch and will not go back. Overhyped.

Great service great food . Highly recommend. Crouch End all my life by far the best around .

Amazing food and really friendly staff! It’s got a nice energy in there and the people behind the counter are so sweet. Highly recommend their food, especially their biscof French toast. Cheaper than beam and just as good.

Such a lovely place to eat! Food is amazing and all staff are super friendly. Definitely recommend Lovage especially to the people with a sweet tooth! 👍

Absolutely Love this place! Breakfast and Lunch here Is unbeatable in taste and price. Staff are very nice. Service is always fast and friendly. Definitely will be back. Thank you to Jade, who always looks after us. See you soon guys.

Lovely people I don’t know what else to say , you should go there fo sure . Really cute cozy type of place n the atmosphere is great

It’s a cute little cafe, with a beautiful aesthetic. The interior is definitely instagram worthy! They were very attentive and efficient with taking orders and making sure we were alright while waiting. I ordered the French toast breakfast 😍 it was amazing! Everything tasted so fresh and delicious! I will definitely be going back & telling all my friends. ❤️

Lovage in crouch end is one of the best bistro cafes i’ve seen in london yet till this day, the scenery, the atmosphere, the dedication that’s been put into the design, where we get to sit down and eat the food, it’s truly something out of this world. Don’t get me started on the service, it’s as if the day is dedicated towards you, i’ve never seen workers this happy and excited to do their job and communicate with you. Me and my wife decided to have dinner here and we both ordered the classic burger which came with fries on the side, the looks are amazing, looked as if i was looking at the food from an advert. What surprised me was that the taste came out even better then the looks of the food, the juiciness, the crunch was just perfect and the bread was soft and melted in my mouth. Overall, this is the one of the best places i’ve been to in london and definitely gonna make it a regular place i will visit👍🏼 Thank you very much.

very kid friendly, warm and inviting atmosphere here. perfect place to sit and catch up on some work with a laptop & a coffee + cake. they had a great mid week deal too & definitely cheapest in the area. this place is my new go to

Had a lovely family meal at lovage, the service was great, very friendly. Especially enjoyed the french toast brunch

Food nice and worthy, if expensive but this is Crouch End. Good choice of ambient music, but undecided about service as there doesn't seem to be enough room for them and us and a kid in a pram that screams (the pram that is, not kid this is Crouch End remember). I had smashed avocado on toast for the "posh breakfast". Are 'friends' electric?

We came here for brunch recently with the family. The food was really good and everyone was very pleased with their meals, the decor is very chic and modern, prices too are very reasonable. Unfortunately, this place loses a few marks for their customer service on this occasion. We were sat down promptly but had to wait 15 minutes for our order to be taken with the staff making no real urgency to approach us. Only half of our drinks were served initially and we had to ask twice after the food had come out for the other drinks. Polite enough staff but inattentive and I hope that if I visit again I'll be able to update my score.

Firstly the service was excellent. My husband and I stumbled across Lovage and are so glad we did! On a busy weekend we were seated quickly. All the staff were very friendly, professional and kind despite it being busy. We had the Lovage breakfast and everything was yummy and cooked to perfection! Brilliant to have the sweet& savory option together! The menu selection is really good! We will definitely be back! X

Greater had a great experience here! Lovely staff & very yummy food. We will definitely be returning. The food quality and portion size was amazing for the area & very good value for money

Went there for brunch. Have to say, the sevice was great but food was just ok. I've definitely had better.

Lovely food served by attentive waitress.

I ordered an Eggs Royale. Firstly the portion size is TINY. daylight robbery in my opinion. I understand cost of living is going up but this is ridiculous. One tiny slice of bread. The american pancakes were decent. The French Toast my friends had was amazing although we had to ask three times to get TAP WATER. We thought they went to the well to grab the water.

Honestly this is not one of the best but the best place I have ever been to for dining, from the atmosphere to the actual food staff and the skilled chef everything is just amazing such a warm place with their different ranges of cuisine dishes. Honestly I go there all the time and everything their new dish seems to amaze me. Even their coffee is different they really know how to make it just right. Thank you Lovage team for your amazing hospitality and service🧡🙏🏻

Lovely place, cosy and warm environment with romantic decoration, service was great. We had breakfast over there I can’t say it’s the best one I had but the quality was okay. Price was average of area.

Mediocre - it was nice, but I've been to nicer brunch spots before. Service was extremely slow, food was ok.

Been to Lovage many times. It’s my favourite go to for brunch. The veg breakfast, followed by pancakes and biscoff shake are to die for!! Place is very clean, service is friendly and the chef comes out from time to time to say hello to everyone! You have to support family owned businesses like this that go the extra mile for their customer!

Food was yummy and cooked to perfection, food to bread ratio wasn’t the best but I ordered more and received them for free which was great. My food came in 8-10 minutes which is fast and servers were so nice and polite. Definitely check it out if your craving brunch. I got the Mediterranean breakfast and it was filling and costed £13.50 Update* went again and I’m still SO please with the service and they had great offers too! Got the brunch items today and it was great. It will always fill you and satisfy you regardless of what you get! Definitely my new fave spot😋🍽️

Came here for my birthday, was the most lovely and amazing experience ever; they brought out a cake and sang happy birthday and gave us 3 free cakes! Food was so so delicious and so cheap for the quality it was. Will defo be coming back 100% recommend!!!

Cosy place, excellent service and good food

Lovely lil spot...however needs more ambience and deco. The small sized sausages rather disappointing.

Amazing delicious food, great services and great prices for the quality & presentation of food... recommend the French Toast breakfast and Vegan Break :)...we just happened to be passing by and popped in - excellent new local find :)!
