• Modern European • Winchmore Hill

Booked 4 times today

Carlos@b&v brings the finer side of dining and service to this unique little part of North London, on the Green in Winchmore Hill, a stone's throw from the mainline station of the same name and a short drive from Southgate on the end of the Piccadiily Line. Carlos himself is a restauranteur with flair, having built a reputation in the area over 30 years and so his experience with executing a dynamic and slick establishment brings much to be excited about. Guests will get that familiar 'welcome back' feeling even if they happen to be newcomers. The interiors are comfortably chic but inviting, with a warm ambience and the atmosphere is busy and vibrant. Live music and niche little magic entertainers are a regular occurrence. With an open alfresco feel in the summer, looking out on to the Green itself and a pavement terrace in warmer months too. The menu is Modern European with a specials menu that changes regularly and plenty of choice on the drinks and cocktail menu.

Always a wonderful experience. Food of high quality although one could argue a little on the high end price wise for the main courses….even when sharing. That said, when the restaurant is full it is a testament to the quality. Vibrant atmosphere although perhaps a tad loud when sitting directly under the speakers. Menu / wine list always offers something slightly different to the norm allowing it to stand out from the crowd. Lovely evening.
