(29 Park Road, Crouch End in London, United Kingdom)

Aanya is a sophisticated Indian tapas bar in Crouch End. With vanilla walls, red leather banquettes ...and moody lighting, this chic little restaurant is perfect for drinks-that-turn-into-dinner type affairs. The sharing platters and snacks are beautifully presented and delicious. We love Aanya’s Tandoori prawns with coriander, mint and chilli, the mixed grill with lamb chops and chicken kebabs and the homemade ice cream served on a block of ice infused with rose petals. There are plenty of choices for vegetarians, over 30 wines by the glass and a great selection of bottled beers. Aanya is ideal for dates and parties, or as a meeting place for a night out with friends. On booking over 8 people a deposit of £10 per person is required. The restaurant will contact diners directly for this, all deposits are redeemed against the final bill.

(86 Highgate High Street in London, United Kingdom)

Highgate’s Rose and Crown was, in the 17th and 18th centuries, frequented by royalty. In fact, so p...opular was it with those regal types that the back bar was dubbed The Royal Box. Now a buzzy restaurant the Rose and Crown combines a relaxed atmosphere with a quality of food not often seen in your local boozer. Decked out in warm reds and browns, with comfortable leather couches and reclaimed bench seating the rooms are as inviting as the menu. Family favourites from good old sirloin steak to penne gorgonzola are fit for a king and while you might not spot true royalty in residence here there’s no doubt this place is a gastro-jewel in Highgate’s crown Please give 24 hours notice of any cancellations. Opening hours: Tues - Sat 12pm - 11:30pmSun 12pm - 10pm One of the oldest pubs in North London, The Rose and Crown dates back to the 1700s. [moreless]

(4 South Grove, Highgate in London, United Kingdom)

Although a fair-sized chain, Strada manages to retain the feel of a neighbourhood Italian restaurant.... Probably because each restaurant is individually designed, though all share certain common features such as burgundy banquette seating and nice staff. A one-off, this Highgate branch has kept many of the original features of the listed building it occupies. Slower-paced than its West End siblings, its buzzy without being manic - apart from at weekends when its packed. On the menu are pastas, risottos and ‘house’ specialty, scrummy wood-fired pizzas, but the bestsellers by far are the meat and fish grills (very healthy, very Highgate). Regulars are wealthy locals, George Michael and Les Dennis among them, who stick to their ‘usual’ table. The most popular area is the front section by the windows that open out onto the terrace. Please note on Fridays and Saturdays this restaurant does not take any Toptable bookings between 7pm and 9:30pm. Opening hours: Mon - Sat 12pm - 11pmSun & Bank Holidays 12pm - 10:30pm [moreless]

(13 North Hill, Highgate in London, United Kingdom)

At Highgate, where drovers once stopped to quench their thirst on the long road to market in London,... stands The Bull, a historic pub now recreated as a top class gastropub. The whitewashed exterior remains, but the interior has been lightened and brightened, with an open plan dining room, creamy walls, open fires on two floors, a mahogany bar, and a sunlit terrace. Jeremy Hollingsworth, a Michelin star earner at Quo Vadis, is Executive Head Chef. The menu reflects his dedication to high-quality, modern British cuisine with strong French accent. Dishes include a fantastic array of homemade breads, starter of gnocchi with girolles, shallots, tomato and rocket pesto, main course of rump of lamb with boulangere potatoes, baby spinach, tomato and tarragon and dessert of gooseberry fool with sable biscuit. Servings are generous and the international wine list includes some welcome chilled reds. There's an American pool table on the first floor.
