The Blue Olive - (Near Barnet, london)

Dalila Abd Rahman A friend recommended this place. The food is amazing. Simple healthy menu yet so flavourful and satisfying! Small, quaint cafe and family friendly. They have a selection of toys to keep my toddler busy. A little pricey compared to surrounding cafes but well worth it. Would definitely come again.

Dannie P Hi guys it is time for another review. Today I went to Marlos restaurant and here is the break down. Location: Marlos is located in Cockfosters. There is street paid parking available (reasonable price via pay by phone) and it is not far from Cockfosters train station. Customer Service- Today we were a party of 3. We were seated quickly and the restaurant was quite busy (due to it being the lunch time period). We were served by two lovely ladies Pepé and Diana. Staff were very attentive and warming. Customer service was 9.8 /10. Food Quality- The dishes we order were as follows Salmon Teriyaki with rice and Pak Choi. This was star of the show ,and a must have menu item. 10/10 Lamb Chops with rice and salad. Preference of how you would like the meat cooked is offered. This dish had a good balance level of flavours throughout. 9/10 Steak and Eggs which comes with 2 hash browns and brown toast. Again meat is cooked to preference. Steak was order to be medium but came closer to medium /well done. Steak still had flavour. Hash brown had a lovely crunch on the outside and soft on the inside (perfect) Overall it was a good dish. 8.5/10 Drinks- There is a wide range of drinks options from hots drinks , such as teas and coffees. To smoothies and freshly squeezed juices. We all ordered the freshly squeezed juices ( you can choose the items you have in your juice). For mine I ordered apple ginger and pineapple. Again another show stopper. 10/10 Atmosphere/ Interior: Lovely atmosphere with low music which enables you to talk and relax. This restaurant would be great for brunches, family gatherings, a day time date, or business working lunch. 10/10 Value for Money: excellent value for money as food is freshly made and good balance of flavours through out. 10/10 Overall Score - 9.8/ 10 would highly recommend anyone to come to Marlos. Will definitely be coming back again

Graham Burke We had an exceptional evening at the Prince of Wales in East Barnet Village. We visited to take advantage of the 50% off mains January deal, but the quality was so high we would have happily paid full price. The service here is world class. We met Rory, the manager, who was outstanding. His passion for the food is infectious; he explained the prep and sourcing of the dishes so well it made our mouths water before we even ordered! Our waiter (whose name we missed) was equally professional and friendly - the whole team is clearly focused on making sure you leave happy. The food is "art on a plate" stunningly presented, hot, and delicious. We shared the crab starter, which was fresh and beautifully plated. For mains, the Pheasant Supreme and Chicken Ballotine were both flavourful and perfectly cooked. We finished with the Baked Alaska, which they set on fire at the table! The portions were huge, even when shared. Rory’s description of the Sunday Roast prep has already convinced us to book a return visit. Highly recommended!

Jason Tye Really nice food, fresh and delicious. I particularly enjoy their selection of beef and chicken burgers. Their kebabs are very nice as well. Excellent service from the staff. So glad to be a loyal customer to this place! Keep up the excellent work!

Jonathan Ho Went on a Friday night and reserved a table - was fairly busy so would recommend booking a table. The food was very good and the service was lovely. Both members of staff were lovely. I have a peanut allergy and they were great with my allergy, they also have a very clearly signed menu of different intolerances. The prices were also very good.

Paul Pandek Food was excellent, fresh and full of flavour. The fried chicken was crispy and well cooked. Service was good and the place had a nice, relaxed atmosphere. Overall a very enjoyable visit and definitely worth coming back.
