The best restaurants in Bowes Enfield London

The most fantastic dining experience. The food was exquisite, beautifully presented and served with care. Luca who served us knew the tiniest details about each dish and took care to explain what he was presenting. I have never met a sommelier like Stephan before. His knowledge of wines was second to none and he expertly guided us to a wine I wouldn’t have normally chosen - and boy was it good. The whole team at the restaurant were excellent and we can’t wait to go back. Thank you!

Pedimos cuatro pizzas diferentes, todas estaban bien. No es sorprendente, pero estaban decentemente cocinados y tenían suficientes ingredientes.

Amazing food, fresh well prepared, very good portions and excellent service, this is the best fish and chips I've had for a very long time

Very fine omelette, good stuff 👌

Avoid this place if you are looking for a decent place to eat or have a birthday!! We decided to have my mum’s 60th birthday celebrations here and were unfortunately met with unprofessional staff, average food and incredibly poorly managed service. Upon entering we were met with hostility when we asked where we could place a balloon arch when all we wanted was the ‘manager’s’ opinion on where she thinks would be a suitable set up for balloons. She answered ‘I told your mother not to touch the flower walls’. Strange considering I was by a window.. As the evening went on we had noticed that although the venue was supposedly fully hired there were groups of men in the outside smoking area when we asked (kindly) if they would remain there again, we were met with hostility from the ‘manager’ explaining that the hire is only for inside and it wasn’t 7pm yet- 7pm came and went and the men did not move until around 8:15pm. The food; once the food arrived we soon realised that the starters were bang average but the mains were freezer meat banged on a grill. £35 pp for freezer food served with freezer chips & salad. No rice, pitta bread or anything that requires a proper chef. For this price please save your money & attend a reputable restaurant with good food. NO ONE finished their food and for a group of foodies that we are- that is saying ALOT. Throughout the night we noticed that there was one waitress the entire night, we had to ask multiple times for the air con to be switched on and the prices of the drinks were central London prices all the whilst situated in Palmers Green. One of our family members is pescatarian and when she asked for a fish meal instead of the mixed meat they told her there would be an additional surcharge which was not mentioned earlier although this was enquired upon booking. Perhaps they didn’t have any fish in the freezer lol Now the end of the night arrives and I am informed that the ‘manager’ shouted at the children for damaging the flower wall. I approached her calmly and asked her if she had done this and she said yes and apologised. I advised her a better approach would be to inform the adults and not shout at children. We do not recommend this restaurant as a family friendly place or for people who have special dietary requirements. We then were charged £180 for the damage of some £1 eBay flowers. Fact of the matter is it’s an impractical concept which looks pretty and really is the only nice thing about this place. Finally the worst part of the night… payment. Making it clear here that the entire party were ready to pay and as it is 2024, mostly by card. I don’t think they were prepared for the situation and had a cash preference (clearly to avoid taxes). This escalated quickly where the manager told a member of a family that he was ‘not a man’ insinuating him not handling a cash payment bill is not manly behaviour?!!! They are responding to family and friends on their reviews saying we did not want to pay, this is far from the truth- everyone was ready but what you clearly aren’t ready for is your tax bill. Don’t run a business if you can’t handle your finances, your mouth or if you can’t cook. AVOID at all costs, especially if you are looking for a pleasant experience because you will NOT find that here.

Overall feeling: It feels more like an OPA coffee shop of old times. Not really much of variety of products available. Felt a bit distant from the culture it targets. Please note that photos on Google maps are not representing the actual state of the place and they are quite old. The Shop: Place looks a bit on the run down. Some details are missing from the signs on the side street but all good on the front side. Didn't want to judge the place based on this so I went in to try the delicacies. There was little to choose from and I could tell that the limitation was purely due to limited traffic. There are a few tables available if you like to sit and have a coffee but nothing really fancy. They had an espresso machine in place so I guess they do serve coffees you'd expect in other coffee shops (I haven't tried any of them). The products: From the max of 10-15 products available I had at least 4 and they were all quite average compared to the original Greek flavours I have had in my time. Not an epic fail but it was a bit let down when I got served a bugatsa (Samolina pie) in a plastic sandwich bag, also there was no cheese pie available. There was however a wide selection of olive bread, the sight of which I could not resist so I tried some and it was amazing! The price: Prices was average to low. So you will not be breaking the bank! The service: For the ones who expect to be served in Greek please note that this might not be your lucky day. When I visited the place the assistant behind the counter only spoke English and Albanian. She was however more than happy to help and serve with a smile. Access: If you like free parking try the Tesco's parking a bit further down to enjoy 30 mins for free. Otherwise parking is payable on main street and side street pay and display Enjoy!

Afternoon I often stop for a coffee , ( really good coffee ) , have spent a Saturday evening , enjoyed it , but did not rate the food , but did have a really good laugh , live music , dancing , etc , worth a look , maybe I made wrong choice of food , as my friend enjoyed his ,

I only had 30 minutes for lunch, I went and ordered a half pounder, I received the order, when I got to work I started eating, I got a chicken burger, and it was spicy, I can't eat spicy because I have problems, they leave me without lunch, only with chips and drink, I finished lunch, I'm hungry, I called them 4 times, they don't answer the phone

Ordered family meal, wings were tiny, the sauce horrible not cooked or absorbed in chicken. Ordered before was ok, not sure what’s happened to management, but won’t be ordering again.
