Fui por el almuerzo de precio fijo, desafortunadamente mi primera opción (tortas de pescado de salmón) no estaba disponible, pero la ensalada griega era muy fresca y sabrosa, servida con pan tostado y aceite de oliva. Mi única crítica fue que el aderezo estaba un poco afilado, ya sea demasiado jugo de limón o un vinagre balsámico demasiado fuerte. De postre elegí el pastel de banoffee que era excepcional. El servicio estaba atento - comencé fuera, pero un aguacero resultó en un traslado dentro! Estoy de acuerdo en que algunos elementos en el menú eran caros, de ahí mi elección del menú fijo. Creo que volveré a ir cuando esté en la zona.

Service was very friendly and efficient and there were good seating options inside and out. However, the food is very, very average and SO expensive, especially for the quality and portion size. I would not recommend, there are much better local options which offer better value and food.

Ridiculously expensive and poor value. Average quality food with very expensive prices. A basic brunch can cost £16 but it is about £10 in other cafes and a coffee is nearly £4 while you get charged an extra 50p just for a tiny amount of soya milk.

A great spot for casual dining. The only available seats for our party of 5 were outside, but fortunately it wasn't bad weather. They brought us a couple of different chairs because were were on a bit of a slop which was awkward for the person at the end of the table. It was clearly a popular place which doesn't surprise me because the service was excellent. The menu was varied and food very good, but quite steep prices, especially for lunch.

We had such a nice time, lovely service and food until the manager came over with a complaint from ‘another client’ because of my gay friends were sharing a kiss. After we had paid (BY THE WAY) he manager walked up to us and said that this was not policy in his establishment. I’m outraged and disgusted. I will not be coming back here. We only demanded our service charge back but we should have got a full refund where we paid £82 for 3 brunches! Disgusting.

Below average food not prepared for young children . We joined family for Sunday brunch with our 3 year old granddaughter. Some of the family are vegan and the choice of the menu was reasonable good. My omelette of mushroom and cheese was not pleasant. Mushroom had been precooked and very oily and rubbery. The omelette was over cooked and tasted burnt. My wife toasted breakfast that included avocado on sourdough was just a little spread. Would have expected a thicker layer of crushed avocado. No children cutlery available.👎 Waitress responsible for our table was friendly but forgot a few things including my coffee that was ordered with everyone. 6out of 10

Despite having tried most places in North London (including the more well known/currently fashionable) this local cafe still remains the best place for brunch! The food is so fresh and always absolutely delicious - fantastic veggie options (only let down by the sausages) as well as the more traditional choices. But the staff absolutely make it - the manager could not be more helpful and he can’t do enough to ensure you have an enjoyable visit. Give this great little local a try - you won’t be disappointed!

I was catching up with a friend who lived nearby and we decided to pop out for food rather than cook. Great choice! The location was perfect for a summer's evening as we were able to take in the sights and sounds of Crouch Hill at dusk. The service was prompt, friendly, welcoming and efficient. We decided to go for all three courses which was also a good move. We each started with the Greek Salad; lots of tomatoes, black and green olives plus plenty of feta cheese. The winning trick however was the pomegranate which set the plate off perfectly. I opted for the baked cod with mas and seasonal vegetables for main which is one of the most satisfying main meals I can remember paying for. (My friend had the Kofte which he seemed very pleased with.) So impressed were we that we decided on a desert; my Banoffee Pie was the perfect way to finish and fill my belly - although I did get food envy form his apple crumble and custard! In addition to the lovely food we also enjoyed great polite and friendly service. Whilst it was a little pricey at just less than £80 it was worth it. A really pleasurable dining experience. We shall return!

I had a Mediterranian breakfast which as I’m sure you can see didn’t come with what the menu had promised. When I told the waiter that I would like the other half of my mushroom he claimed that was the portion size. I asked to see the manager who then told me that was the serving size. When I then pointed out to him that the menu said hash browns (I only got one) and cherry tomatoes he had the audacity to tell me I had two tomatoes because it was cut in half! After a small exchange (where he bullishly defended the portion sizes inspite of the menu) he did indeed cook me another half mushroom, another hash brown and 2 more whole cherry tomatoes! As I am not someone to normally complain and felt quite awkward, so when I finished I brought my plate in as a gesture of thanks and went to pay. When I went to pay he then went on a defence of the original portion size and that he had given me extra. Following that I politely declined to pay the service charge. That was when to mood went from awkward to prison-like! I paid and was told I wans’t welcome back (which was fine) and then when I went to take a picture of the menu for this review, he took the menu away from me so quicky it actually hit another customer! The food was average - I really wouldn’t reccommend because even without the controversy I wouldn’t have returned anyway. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE

We were very pleased on our first visit to this restaurant. The quality of the food is really good and all three courses were to a high standard. Reasonably priced wine, also really good quality. The lovely staff were helpful and attentive. Note that there is a 12.5% service charge added to the bill. Allow about £110 for three courses for two people and a bottle of wine. I would certainly recommend this restaurant.

We often come here for brunch at the weekend. I was surprised to read such a variety of reviews here. We visited recently, and they have plenty of tables outside on the street, as well as a small garden, which was a lovely place to sit during the recent spell of hot weather. There are a variety of dishes on the menu - I guess you'd call them mostly mediterranean - Greek/Tukish/Israeli influenced dishes, as well as the traditional full English breakfast - but there's always something I fancy. The staff have always been very friendly, and service is usually good. I'm sure we'll be back again soon!

It was a nice French inspired brasserie with some hits from Europe ! All dishes were executed at high standards with prime ingredients. It has now lost its soul. It 'a serving a host of cafe food from France, Turkey and England. The recepies are bizarre: mussels chowder = steamed mussels dumped in double cream, hamburger= patty with parsley leaves. Chips=skin on wedges warmed up from the day before. Service is down to greasy cafe style from restaurant.

It's not easy to find a decent vegan fry up that combines value and taste, but this is one of the best vegan fry ups I've had in England! The portion size was very generous, the plate was filled with food. Everything was delicious and warm, included garlic spinach (which was delicious and flavourful, my favourite part of the meal), toast drizzled in olive oil (love that it did not come bare/dry just because we couldn't have butter), hash browns, tomato, mushrooms, baked beans, tofu, vegan sausages, etc. The chai latte could also be made vegan (I had mine w/ oat milk) and was delicious, nice portion. The staff was so attentive, very friendly. This will def be my breakfast go to! Thank you for giving the vegan fry up as much attention, thought and effort as you do regular fry ups.

No estoy seguro de si los propietarios han cambiado desde este lugar (anteriormente The Blue Legume y luego Montmartre), pero mi experiencia ha disminuido. Esto está respaldado por el hecho de que estaba bastante vacío el sábado cuando otros cafés de EC estaban ocupados, el servicio era irregular, lo digo porque era agradable, pero entre 3 empleados no parecían saber quién debería hacer qué. Pasaron un tiempo limpiando las mesas (que no me estaban esperando) y me dejaron sentado por mucho tiempo sin que apareciera que estaba listo para ordenar. La comida estaba realmente bien, solo la ensalada fue decepcionante, ¿un aderezo embotellado quizás? Pero no se sentía amado, las flores de las mesas se estaban muriendo y el agua se veía sucia. El inodoro también estaba sucio, el piso parecía sin lavar y, en general, todo un poco sucio, que es pobre.

This is a well placed cafe,nice shady tables outside and a pleasant interior. However the food and delivery of , leaves a lot to be desired. I ordered a mushroom au gratin dish which was OK, but had no garnish or offer of bread with it. I had to request bread,which came toasted,not fresh. The Mille feuille I asked for as a sweet came smothered in a sickly chocolate sauce which was unpleasant and not requested. So much potential, but so far not delivered.

We went for an early dinner before attending a music event at Islington assembly rooms just opposite the restaurant. The food is an eclectic mix of French, Greek, Italian. Both our meals were very tasty, and it's a relatively small and intimate place. The staff were all very friendly and in fact the only slight let down is that a service charge is automatically added to the bill. We enjoyed our visit and would have tipped anyway, but I dislike the practice of automatically adding it. It's much less personal and there is no guarantee, whatever is stated on the menu, that the staff do see it.

I've eaten here and it was ok, a fairly ordinary melanzane. What I did not expect this afternoon, when I went in to suggest to the member of staff behind the bar that some salt should be put on the treacherous patch of icy pavement outside their back gate (due presumably to a bucket of water having been thrown out of the back door) was to be met with a level of uncaring rudeness as well as indifference to the possible risk to passers by. What an unpleasant person to be working as a waiter. Won't be eating here again.

I took myself out for my birthday brunch at the Crouch End branch and it was lovely. I'm very picky when it comes to Eggs Benedict as I can't stand runny eggs, but they cooked them to perfection! Just hard enough without the yolks becoming chalky. I ordered hash browns on the side which were initially forgotten about, but were brought out quickly with an apology once I let them know. All the staff were great, really helpful and friendly. I will definitely come back here! On a side note, the Islington location is great as well :)

Visited Crouch End and thought the Blue Legume looked suitable for a quick lunch. Sat outside in late autumn sunshine. I had a steak sandwich which was much larger than I had expected and it came with chips and some salad. The others all had egg based meals and no-one was disappointed. Service not great and had to search for someone to pay. No complaints and could go again but no reason to rush back, especially if we had to sit inside which looked a bit cramped and crowded.

The eggs were just right with a runny but not watery yolk and the hollandaise sauce was perfect, fluffy and light tasty and not too rich - we thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were polite and pleasant and we were served very quickly.

One of my favourite places to eat - and I am fussy about quality. Our party of five visited recently and picked out different dishes - all exceptionally tasty food and good value - especially if you use a Taste ard discount! I'd happily go back every day as I'm sure everything on the menu is fantastic. It's a shame the restaurant is so small or I would book the place for bigger group dinners etc. One tip, make sure you check your bill before leaving as I think I might have been overcharged (but my fault, as I didn't check). All in all, so glad to have found this gem of a restaurant and I will return.

I have been eating at The Blue Legume since it opened several years ago. There are many fine brunch places to eat in Crouch End but I have yet to find any that match up to The Blue Legume's extensive menu selection. Here you can find a range of breakfast options to suits all palates. Their main courses, especially any meal including their salads, are also excellent. I also love their range of teas - vanilla tea is a firm favourite. Service can sometimes be a little scatty especially at busy times, but the staff are always pleasant. The general atmosphere is relaxing and friendly. Situated opposite the legendary The Church recording studios it can also prove an interesting spot for people-watching.

You don't think cafes could get simple food wrong. But they can. My friend and I both ordered the steak sandwich and fries. The fries were over-cooked, few in number and too many of the few were solid and crispy, and not in a nice way.The ciabatta fell to pieces as we tried to eat, and the steak was tough as hell. In the end we gave up, dismantled the sandwich and tried just cutting the steak.At the end of the meal the waiting staff asked how the meal was, I said the steak wasn't so good. She glared at me, and didn't say a word, not even to find out what needed improving for the next customer.

Great place to go for brunch. Just make sure you go early or book a table as it's a very popular place with the locals as well as Londoners outside of N8. Mediterranean styled dishes along with the standard brunch meals. A great way to start a Sunday!

An end of week dinner with my wife and mother in law.We looked for a local interesting restaurant that we had not visited before and picked The Blue Legume by chance,the menu looked very interesting.We were glad to have booked as although one or 2 tables were empty,it was busy and buzzy.Welcoming staff,great relaxed atmosphere.A Mediterranean menu with lots of choices.French,Spanish,Italian or Greek a great selection of starters and mains,the Spanish cheese board to share--as a starter was brilliant and I followed this with a hearty Chicken breast and white bean cassoulet,not heavy but just right.moussaka and moules mariner was for the others.Banoffi pudding for dessert.Service was attentive,efficient and friendly.A light and airy room with a holiday feel.A very reasonably priced meal,very much enjoyed.a return visit to sample other delights on the menu is looked forward to.,

I live just round the corner, and so I've had more than a few opportunities to sample this cafe. The food is very good, and the service is generally excellent (it bends a bit when they're madly busy at weekend lunchtimes). They do a great breakfast deal for Mon.-Weds. mornings, but the quality of food is extraordinarily consistent (and good). The Mediterranean breakfast and the various Eggs Benedit/Florentine/Royale are all excellent.

Friendly, efficient service. Rustic decor and pleasant atmosphere. Excellent Moules Mariniere, large mussels and good flavour with fresh parsley and spring onions, nice not too creamy sauce. Pea and mint risotto with scallops and pancetta also excellent. Scallops cooked to perfection. Melted in the mouth. Could do with a wider range of soft drinks such as Fevertree to go with such good mains. Food displayed in cabinet did not look appetising. Good coffee.

I had lunch here on the day I arrived. It is only a short distance from the main road in Crouch End and well worth the walk. I had a panini and coffee. Both were fantastic!!

I had previously eaten at The Blue Legume in Stoke Newington so was pleasantly surprised to see another in Crouch Hill. Same rustic charms and friendly service. The portions of food are very generous and very flavoursome.

Le service était un peu long mais probablement en vue de nous fournir des produits frais. Arrivés à une heure assez tardive, il y avait encore bien de la place. Nous nous sommes régalés sur les entrées et plats. Nous avions été prévenus, c'était copieux, nous n'avons pas pris de dessert. Le risotto "Pea & Mint" est décidément très très bon. Nous essaierons la prochaine fois la formule paella + vin à 16 livres, mais ne se fait que du lundi au mercredi.

Found this place on Tastecard. Wasn't expecting much as the photos made it look like a run of the mill cafe, but it was amazing. The food was fantastic (and incredible value with taste card) and the staff were incredibly pleasant and really charming. Would definitely recommend. Great window seats looking out onto the church - really quaint spot with great food.

Lovely to discover this place in Muswell Hill. Lovely rustic atmosphere and very friendly and efficient service. Particularly liked the menu choices - the lunch special was excellent value. The food was tasty, well-cooked and nicely presented. Very generous portions too. I was there with an elderly friend and we needed somewhere cosy yet spacious where we could chat without loud music or clatter. It fitted the bill perfectly!

스파게티와 리조또만 먹어 본 곳이라 다른 음식은 모르겠으나 아스파라거스가 들어간 채식 리조또가 맛있는 곳이었다. 런던의 주거지 쪽에서 많이 볼 수 있는 레스토랑이다.

I took an elderly friend to lunch here today for her birthday. We were very pleasantly surprised by the food and service, which was friendly and excellent.The portions were huge and the food fresh. At the end the waiter brought out a plate of delicious icecream with a candle in it to the strains of Happy Birthday, which made my friend's day. Thank you very much.

They fit us in for an early dinner without a reservation. Fast with the food, lovely service and they had a high chair for our toddler. Loved the food and the restaurant was really nice with some mood lighting and a comfortable bench seat
