Harden's survey result
Summary
“A great little bistro” in Gospel Oak, behind the Royal Free, which is “always packed to the rafters with people from the surrounding area who have been coming for years”. The straightforward food is of diverse inspirations – “good value and plentiful” – and “staff are attentive and friendly”. Now in its third decade, it makes no effort to modernise – but so what? It’s a place where “you could eat every day”.
Summary
Complete with a purple facade and awning billing itself as ‘London’s Best Kept Secret’ – this dated-looking French bistro behind the Royal Free has been a feature of Gospel Oak for the last 25 years. For a “cheap ’n’ cheerful” meal free of foodie pretensions it wins numerous recommendations as “a very pleasant and reasonable local”.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
