5 /5 Sasha: My friend is GF and very fussy... so I googled the best gf/allergy places in crouch end. Bar Esteban came second in the list and we previously went to Spain and he had the happiest meal there (Osuna). It was a mixture of please no more sushi and I adore sushi, his dietary requirements and my birthday. So I called to check on the way that allergies were managed. Both times the staff were really considerate, checking with chef and emailing over the allergy menu. And responded to my email swiftly. Said partner was grumpy that I booked without his approval... but he absolutely adored it.
we ordered prawns, olives, unbelievable melt in the mouth oxtail, cauliflower and Verde sauce and something else, plus cake and his favourite cocktail. The staff were brilliant on the additional chillies for me and also popped a candle in the cake. Highly recommend this gem.
