An lovely oasis of cultured cuisine in an otherwise neglected area of London between the chattering classes of Tufnell Park and the windswept emptiness of the Archway roundabout.Food is a wonderful mix of British, French and North African, with a strong emphasis on presentation but with no skimping on portion sizes. I have had excellent minted cous-cous, duck, black pudding and lamb's liver terrine, sublime seared scallops with rocket and endive, and delicious rib-eye steaks cooked to a turn.Prices are not cheap for the area but are very good for the standard shown. The wine list is extensive and provides some wonderful combinations for a party of 4 or more, or some little treasures to savour with the significant other.The main dining area lies in the back of a rather inauspiciously fronted Victorian pub, but is a huge barrel-vaulted hall with the walls coated in local contemporary art. You might just pick up a bargain while you mull over your seabass, steak, or squid.Overall some fine food in a very lively atmosphere. You are likely to see all manner of arty and affluent locals, but if you are more than 15 minutes late for a booking you'll such many more, as they'll shove you into a corner of the very lively public bar at the front!
