Where to go in Haringey

13 places in Haringey, each one on the Guide on merit.

Crouch End

• Floral Hall

  Cocktail bar

  A gorgeously fronted corner bar in Crouch End, built for cremant and heartfelt conversation.

• Les 2 Garçons

  European

  A small, polished French bistro good enough to make Crouch End a destination. Take a date.

• Les Associes

  European

  A tiny French restaurant tucked into a Victorian terrace in Crouch End since 1989. The chef cooks and serves classic dishes like bourguignon with dauphinoise and green beans, garlicky snails in melted camembert, and French onion soup. This is a neighbourhood place delivering maison rouge and old-school hospitality, not cutting-edge cooking.

• Little Mercies

  Cocktail bar

  A low-lit, grown-up cocktail bar in a quiet pocket of north London. Serious about the drinks, without the members'-club airs.

• Through the Woods

  European

  One sitting at 8, on one weekend a month.

Harringay

• 33's The Old Grocery Store

  Cocktail bar

  A former Harringay Ladder grocer's reborn as a coffee-and-cocktails local, vintage fittings kept intact. Croissants and serious espresso by day, jazz on Thursdays by night.

• Bonne Route

  Wine bar

  A dim little room by Harringay station that fills the moment it opens, pouring orange wine until the pavement seats are the only ones left.

• Gökyüzü

  Turkish ocakbaşı

  The anchor of the Green Lanes Turkish strip: a vast, permanently busy ocakbaşı where the mixed grill arrives on a platter built for four and the bread comes straight off the coals. Come for this, then walk the strip.

Tottenham

• Chuku's

  African

  The world's first Nigerian tapas restaurant, in Tottenham: small sharing plates, a real point of view, a warm room you settle into.

• Prestige Patisserie

  Patisserie

  A Tottenham patisserie turning out glossy, precise French pastry. The croissants go fast.

• Ten to One Cocktail Bar & Kitchen

  Cocktail bar

  A Tottenham cocktail bar with proper drinks and a kitchen to match.

• The Genet Cafe

  African

  A cash-only Tottenham room with mesob baskets on every surface and regulars who order without looking at the menu. The lega tibes is lamb fried down with ginger. Doors open at one in the afternoon, so this is not a lunch place.

Tottenham Hale

• Pressure Drop Brewery & Taproom

  Brewery taproom

  A lofty Tottenham Hale warehouse that Londonist rates among the city's best taprooms. Beer brewed feet from the bar, room for the whole group.
