The 30 Best Restaurant bars in Barnet

“We fancied some seafood and headed down to Seawise Street Seafood Bar. We heard lots of good things and were not disappointed. We ordered the squid rings freshly prepared and cooked, and the butterfly King Prawns we asked for the spicy option. I must say they were the tastiest prawns I've ever had. The squid was delicious too. We also brought some cockles which were plump and not at all gritty, dressed crab and some shell on prawns. The crab came with coriander and red onion, which nicely complimented the crab. Very tasty and would highly recommend. Thank you for our tasty dinner.”

“Windows clean very clean environment excellent service very well cooked fish and chips will be going back for more a friendly place thank you just had another great meal from Barnet Fish bar.”

“I absolutely loved the atmosphere and service in this restaurant. It is very cosy in the front, but it extends to the back and even has a beautiful garden that will be lovely in the Summer. It is great for a date night or if gathering with friends. Food was very tasty and the dessert was very delicious. I had salmon fillet and tiramisu. House wine was very good too. Highly recommend it and definitely will be back.”

“Without doubt, the cutest most fun, warm and engaging pub in north London. Never mind the fact that it’s one of the oldest pubs in the country. Not to be missed. Will be back very soon”

“Omar served us and was amazing. The Shisha had a lot of flavour, amazing customer service and had a great vibe inside. Drinks were fairly priced, highly reccomend coming here with your mates after a night out! Had a great experience, will be coming back”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Experience at Everyman! We visited Everyman to watch the F1 and were completely blown away by the atmosphere, service, and the overall experience. From the moment we walked in, it felt more like entering a boutique lounge than a typical cinema — plush seating, mood lighting, and a vibe that was perfect for settling in and enjoying the race. The screening room was immaculate, stylish, and so comfortable — the perfect setup for watching high-octane action in true luxury. The sound and picture quality were top-notch, and it genuinely felt like we were in the heart of the Grand Prix. A special mention must go to Marisa and Loria, who made our visit truly exceptional. Her warmth, attentiveness, and attention to detail stood out immediately. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. It's rare to see such genuine hospitality — she turned a great experience into an unforgettable one. If you're thinking about watching F1, a new release, or even just grabbing a drink in a fantastic setting, Everyman should be your go-to. We'll definitely be back. Bravo to the whole team!”

“Aming christmas experience , staff were absolutely nice and its been a longtime ive experienced such a great service with genuinely friendly people.

“Chicken gyros wrap was absolutely delicious, best food in the village. Staff were friendly and helpful and prices are really reasonable. Can’t wait to go back”

“Sasha our waitress was the best. Loved her energy. Great service. Very busy as it was Christmas but still great service. Food was great all round. Had a mixture of steak pie, burger and fish and chips. An amazing pub to visit. Shout out to the chefs Dana and Mihai. Food came out pipping hot and fresh. Defo worth a visit if you’re in the area.”

“I order from them tonight for the first time since it has new ownership. Both my son and I thought the food was delicious! Arrived quickly will definitely order from them again, it will be my new Indian takeaway. I don't usually leave reviews but I felt compelled to.”

“Always a great time here and such friendly service!”

“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 at this little gem & will definitely become a regular! Service & food was impeccable & couldn’t be faulted even if I tried!. At the end of our meal the chef even came out and greeted each table to ask how everything was which I thought gave such a personal touch & was very appreciated. The atmosphere & vibe was very cozy. We arrived at 6pm and didn’t leave until 9pm (even though we finished eating at about 8pm) simply because we felt so relaxed and comfortable. Thank you The Old Paparazzi - we will be back soon”

“Great restaurant, beautiful food, romantic atmosphere. Winston, our waiter was great! I definitely recommend M&C :)”

“I visited The Olea today and enjoyed the granola and a chai latte. Loved the atmosphere and the owners were very friendly. Would definitely return and recommend.”

“The perfect experience of British food. If you don’t know any British food other than fish&chips then try this place. Very delicious food.”

“One of the best meals I’ve had in all of London what a treat. Phenomenal service, lovely setting and incredible dishes. Will be back often and can’t stop telling friends to visit!!”

“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?!”

“Georgina was a lovely waitress — friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout our visit. She made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived and was always happy to help with a smile. Her service really added to the overall experience. Thank you, Georgina!”

“Megan and her team did an amazing job of looking after us all for my husband’s family birthday bash. We were a large group and were able to have the restaurant side of the pub exclusively for us. It was such a lovely evening! The food was delicious and staff couldn’t have done more to help us. We will definitely be back to eat again soon. Thanks for having us!”

“Lovely little pub. The service is friendly and we always feel welcome. Highly recommended if you are in New Barnet!”

“Jamie, Megan & co are very friendly and want more people to visit. Its had a revamp, lots on a weekend and during the week. Well worth a visit and the drinks are reasonably priced too. See you again soon.”

“Had a lovely Sunday dinner here (12/10). The chicken skewers were delicious & the portion size was perfect. Our server was very attentive too. Will be back soon!”

“We attended a wake here. The staff were polite, respectful and attentive. Parking was easy. The hotel is beautiful, immaculately clean, in a stunning location and had a relaxing atmosphere. The food was excellent quality and delicious. (We didn't use or see the bedrooms.)”

“Delicious for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. Always lovely freshly made food with attentive and friendly service. Never disappoints”

“I have been to Middeys on several occasions and they offer a wide-range of excellent halal dishes. The drinks are also superb - I love the lychee bubbles - and the service is fantastic place. It is very popular but have gone several times without needing to book.”

“I used this cafe during Lockdown and have always enjoyed the quality of food and beverages. The hot chocolate is warming, delicious alternative to coffee.”

“We had the Christmas menu. It was delicious from start to finish. Although it was all incredible, the marmalade ice cream was very special. Staff were all fantastic even on a very busy evening. Polite, friendly and very efficient.Two tiny disappointments were a lack of festive arrangements on the tables and no winter ales on tap but in no way deflected from a lovely evening, at a very fair price. Thanks to all.”

“One of my favourite pubs, for the interior and friendly staff. Outside is well catered for with large parasols. Food is good for the price. But make sure you get your dessert order in.”

“Visited Mayhill’s for the first time last night and my friends and I absolutely loved it! The food was exceptional, the tiger prawns were hands down the best we’ve ever eaten! The drinks were delicious, the service was excellent. The DJ and belly dancer were great but we would’ve liked more entertainment for a Saturday night but other than that we’d highly recommend it.”
