Paesan Crouch End - (Near Haringey, london)

Vanessa Westwell In July, I had a slightly disappointing visit, and so I was impressed when The Funghi Club team invited me back to try again, on the house! Today was a sunny, Tuesday lunchtime and I chose to sit inside in the bar area for a change. It was quiet at 12.15pm, but it soon filled up with lots of happy ladies who lunch, and some couples and small family groups. There was quite a buzz! There is a quieter area at the back of the bar area, if you want a calmer atmosphere. Nicole and her team were all very friendly and welcoming. There was a lot to choose from on the Menu and Specials. In the end I chose the Daily Special, which was a generously sized portion of Tuna Nicoise Salad for £16.50. The fine green beans were cooked perfectly with a little crunch. The salad dressing was tasty. If you prefer your Tuna Steak to not have any pink in the middle, please let your Server know. To follow, I had a Raspberry Tarte from the extensive, chilled Patisserie Selection. It was the perfect combination of a generous topping of fresh raspberries, atop some creamy, creme patisserie and a light, crunchy, pastry case. When your Tarte pastry almost leaps off the plate at the first tap of the fork, you know its cooked perfectly! Thank you very much. I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch. And I really appreciate your generosity and taking the trouble to put things right.

Inayah Zaman came here for my cousins 18th! Food was pretty good, great atmosphere, dim lighting (but not too dim). Alfia was a great host, she provided great service. Overall we enjoyed ourselves very much 10/10 would come back again!!

Nicola Ridley We had a gorgeous meal here- far exceeded any pub meal we have had in London for a long time. Could not recommend enough. We had the sea bass, pork with black pudding, creme brûlée and sticky toffee pudding- all 10/10! That, plus attentive service & a very sweet setting.

Amy Bevan The food and atmosphere were amazing and Tracey made the whole experience even more special.

Cindy Bronn Very friendly staff! And they always have great variety in their sweet and savoury goods. They make the most delicious hot chocolate too! And while they only have two tables to sit at, it is a great atmosphere with chill music. Also have a great selection of wine and cooking ingredients!

Roger Bispham Popular local restaurant in North London, staff and extremely welcoming and accommodating made that our large party was comfortable whislt attending to other. All meals arrived at the same time and drinks promptly. The atmosphere was upbeat without being overbearing. The meals were well presented and cooked perfectly. We visited on a Saturday and I would definitely recommend banners restaurant in Crouch End for an evening event.
