Lunch options in Barnet

“Very nice polite opens about 4.30 am close about 14.00 Small but very friendly staff always more than happy to help. Feels very good price bird for what you get”

“What looks both from the outside and the inside like a standard greasy spoon cafe in fact serves the most fantastic food For breakfast and lunch with a very friendly owner, a dedicated team of staff and is spotlessly clean. My veggie option for £10 had two poached eggs on mashed avocado on sourdough, old style baked beans, a piece of hash brown, mushrooms, halloumi and a good size fresh salad. Unbelievably good. My friend had roast beef and Yorkshire pudding and described it as absolutely perfect With the meat being very tender.”

“Barnet Cafe is a true hidden gem! This lovely, family-run cafe has won my heart over with its warm, welcoming atmosphere and delicious offerings. I first discovered this charming spot in 2020, and it has since become my regular haunt, a testament to its consistent excellence. One of the standout features of Barnet Cafe is the generosity they bring to every plate. The portions are not only generous but also incredibly affordable, making it an ideal choice for both budget-conscious diners and those seeking hearty, satisfying meals. My personal favourite is their mouthwatering steak, a dish that I find myself coming back for time and time again. The quality and flavour are consistently top-notch, and they're cooked to perfection every single time. The fact that they have a kids' menu that's equally impressive is a huge bonus for families. It's wonderful to see a place that caters to all ages. Beyond the fantastic food, the staff at Barnet Cafe truly make you feel like part of the family. Their warm hospitality and attentive service make every visit a memorable one. The cosy ambience adds to the overall experience, making it a perfect setting for any occasion. Barnet Cafe is more than just a cafe; it's a home away from home. If you're in search of a place where you can enjoy a delectable meal, bond with your loved ones, and not break the bank, look no further. It's no wonder it has become my regular spot, and I have a feeling it will continue to be for years to come. PS... I can't believe I never reviewed this amazing cafe all these years, and the photos I'm using are from my first few visits since I just focus more on enjoying my meals these days. Yeah, I'm adventurous with foods, but the steak is just muaaaah!!!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hands down the best coffee in Barnet! Every visit to this lovely local coffee shop is a treat — the coffee is consistently amazing, and the atmosphere is always welcoming. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel at home, especially Salvatore, who never fails to brighten my mornings with his friendly smile and great service. A real gem in the heart of Barnet — highly recommended!”

“Best place for breakfast lovely people 10 star food thank u”

“Delicious food, extremely friendly staff! Highly recommended ❤️”

“A group of us go to the cafe after our Nordic walk in nearby Trent Park. Its run by volunteers, so friendly and nice. The food and drinks are lovely, especially the home made cake.”

“Best place to have breakfast, lunch and dinner. My breakfast was 10/10 but my coffee was 100/10. The service was amazing and the waitress (the lady☺️) was really kind and friendly.”

“I had an omlette with my coffee and the portion was generous, very well cooked and even included an edible salad garnish! It’s hard to get good food with your coffee - very impressed.”

“Beautiful cafe with a lot of food choices! The store part also has a great variety of pet things. Perfect place to take the dog to while enjoying a coffee and pastry :)”

“The open door serves good quality food at a very low price price. You are served by a group of volunteers and there is a great atmosphere.”

“This place has to be the nicest cafe I've ever had the pleasure of patronising. Beautifully floral and welcoming. Staff are friendly and efficient. Food is very tasty. I've attached a photo of my delicious French toast. I also had a full English breakfast on another occasion. Magnificent.”

“Food here is BEAUTIFUL. The wait staff are kind, quick and attentive. I came here with my family of 4 and we really enjoyed the whole eating experience. They have an all day breakfast. There is a cake and coffee promotion too.”

“This sort of coffee shop would not have existed in East Barnet Village (EBV) just 15 years ago. Things are changing, and for the better. Such a nice place to come and read, or talk with friends, or bring your laptop and do some work. The coffee is delicious (served at drinking temperature) and they have a girl who can draw anything on the top of it. A drosophila, a seal, a polar bear, a snowman, or a seahorse, a mouse, a house, even the big ball of hydrogen in the sky (the Sun), you name it, she can draw it. EBV is on the up. The only thing holding back businesses is the awful road - the road detracts from the experience of doing anything in the village. With time, this problem shall be solved. Elite cafe. Well worth a visit.”

“Good quality ingredients used, food tastes amazing. I would highly recommend eating here if you get the chance.”

“A lovely hidden gem just opposite Sainsburys in New Barnet. Really lovely relaxed atmosphere. Great coffee and even better food. I had Halloumi, mushrooms and poached eggs on sourdough bread and it was delicious.”

“Angel Cafe is one of my favourite places to go. The staff are always so kind and welcoming, and the service is genuinely amazing every time. It’s such a lovely atmosphere really cosy and relaxing. The food is always fresh and delicious, and there’s such a great variety to choose from. You can tell a lot of care goes into everything, and it’s just a really nice place to spend time, whether you’re catching up with friends or just grabbing something on your own. Highly recommend!”

“We had a wonderful meal there with friends. The decor is nice and the food is delightfully different from the usual Indian dishes. The staff and owner were very friendly and the final bill very reasonable. I would highly recommend making a visit”

“First time coming to Marlo’s and it was amazing. Very small , beautiful place. The staff were amazing and very smiley , service was so great , very attentive. The food was really lovely, very clean tasting , I had the vegetarian breakfast I recommend it 100% . The coffee was so nice as well.

“Souv Like It is an absolute delight! From the moment I stepped foot inside, I was greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality.

“Wonderful warm welcome and service with a beaming smile! Top hygiene rating, to boot!”

“Had to share my feedback on this place. I usually visit on a Friday after my therapy session at Barnet hospital which is around the corner. Every single time I visit this place everyone is ridiculously polite and kind to me. I hope you know how much of a positive impact you make on my mood and day when I come in feeling so vulnerable after therapy. You guys are the best!”

“This is one of the best cafes in East Barnet. I love it and can't recommend it enough. Thank you for everything. Keep up the fantastic work.”

“Yokoso Japan is one of my favourite restaurants in Barnet - the quality of the food is amazing, and the range is great for such a quaint place. I frequently have dreams about the nasu dengaku ”

“Have eaten in this restaurant a few times always been great. Haven’t been for 4 or 5 years. Visited on Sunday for Sunday set lunch. I didn’t realise they did the traditional roast beef chicken or lamb along with fish dishes. £22.95 for 2 courses. Starters we all had prawn cocktail nicest one almost ever eaten very generous portion size packed with prawns. Roast Beef was delicious potatoes light crispy and fluffy very good horseradish in fact I think it’s the best roast dinner for miles around. Service great. Very impressed why haven’t I come more often I ask myself. Will be back.”

“I’ve lived around the corner from The Boulevard for 20 years, and that’s exactly how long I’ve been coming here. What first appears like a private club behind frosted glass, actually becomes a mid size restaurant, private dining room and bar recently refurbished. Step inside for a proper Indian menu, not some westernised pretend curry house, many of the dishes you may not have seen before. It’s a great menu, the chefs and staff have been here years and they certainly know what they’re doing. And it’s great for Sky Sports too, what’s not to like?!”

“best Indian cuisine in the Barnet area by some distance, absolutely superb”

“Fantastic food, lovely friendly staff, clean and a very varied menu. Would highly recommend.”
