Food Scene

The best food in Crouch End. Caribbean, Latin American, South Asian food all in one. They've got a different specials board every day. Also does a great breakfast & brunch (but you'll have to book on weekends).

Mad cafe decorated like the house of one of the owners' grandmothers. They do a really great breakfast here.

Best Thai in Crouch End. Big specials board. Not too expensive. I usually go for a green thai curry, and Abigail is a big fan of their Tom Ka soup.

This is where you go for football matches. It's a big Tottenham Hotspur pub. Great atmosphere.

Excellent friendly local pub with a good selection of beer, often with relaxed live music on a weekend.
The Haringay Arms

This pub is a bit louder than the others but it's nice & has a good selection of beers and wine. It's open a little later than the others as well - about midnight, maybe later on weekends. They have live comedy downstairs on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday - which is definitely recommended.

This is my favourite pub around the area - it's a taproom type deal, with a revolving selection of beer on a blackboard. It ain't cheap but by gum it tastes good.
