Patisserie Joie De Vie - (Near Barnet, london)

OFFICIAL BEN TV Great service and atmosphere, food is amazing. I tried a new pizza !!!! And it taste good. It would be great for people who like beef on their pizza: i had a margarita with "koobideh" (persian mince kabab) nice and juicy meat. This is like an iranian married a italian:) Highly recomended

Lucy Tobin The food here is lovely. Big portions, big menu, good service, good prices. I often have the veggie delight breakfast and a fresh orange juice. The food and drinks are always served hot (not lukewarm).

Fabio Salimbeni We’ve been there for our anniversary, I asked for something special and they definitely delivered! They set a table in a nice location of the restaurant, they put peals on the table and they welcomed us by taking our coats and giving us a glass of Prosecco! The menu is big enough to satisfy every request. We ordered one starters each and a main course each and everything was delicious. They completed the celebrations for us by putting our desserts on a special plate with a song for the moment. The waiters were very nice and took good care of us! We really recommend this place!

shel Red The three-course Christmas meal was absolutely delicious and beautifully thought out from start to finish. The starter of portobello mushroom was rich, hearty, and perfectly cooked, offering deep, earthy flavours that set the tone for the rest of the meal. The main course, turkey, was wonderfully tender and full of traditional festive flavour. It was cooked to perfection, juicy and satisfying, and paired brilliantly with the accompanying elements to create a comforting and classic Christmas experience. To finish, the apple and strawberry crumble was a real highlight. The fruit was sweet and gently tangy, balanced perfectly by a golden, crumbly topping that added just the right amount of texture. It was a delightful and indulgent end to a fantastic meal. Overall, this three-course Christmas dinner was comforting, flavoursome, and thoughtfully prepared — a truly enjoyable festive treat that left everyone feeling content and well cared for.

eakanbi1 Lovely, yummy, authentic and fresh Thai food. Clean ingredients that speak of good choice in produce and care for the food served. The staff were super lovely, attentive and sweet. Highly recommend

Yosmary Pestana I’ve spent a lot of time at Gail’s in High Barnet during my maternity leave. As a new mum, finding places that genuinely feel welcoming and practical can be surprisingly difficult, but Gail’s really stands out on the high street. It’s one of the few coffee shops locally with accessible bathroom facilities for mums with babies, including a proper baby changing facility. That alone makes such a difference. Every time I come in with the buggy, the team are kind and helpful. They often open the door for me when they can and have never once made me feel awkward or uncomfortable about bringing the pram inside. Sadly, that hasn’t been my experience everywhere on the high street. Some places make you feel like arriving with a baby and buggy is an inconvenience, almost as though you are a liability rather than a paying customer. Gail’s is the complete opposite. The team are warm, welcoming and understanding, which means so much during those early months when even leaving the house can feel like an achievement. On top of that, the food and coffee are consistently great, and the café is always clean and comfortable. It has been a lovely and reliable place to spend time, meet other mums, or simply enjoy a quiet coffee. Well done to the team at Gail’s High Barnet. You have created a space that genuinely welcomes mums and babies, and it does not go unnoticed.
