A bustling, vine-covered Primrose Hill institution that feels like a nostalgic holiday taverna, where the charming, old-school atmosphere often outshines the reliable but unadventurous food.
Ordering Strategy
Stick to the charcoal grill section (fish or lamb) and the mezze; the atmosphere is the main draw, so it is best enjoyed with a large group sharing platters in the conservatory.
What to order
Minced Lamb Kofte
Described by Jay Rayner as the 'stand-out item' of the meal, these are 'crisp-shelled' and 'bristling with fresh herbs.'
Hot and Cold Mezédes
Jay Rayner advises going for this spread to get a full holiday 'fix,' though it results in 'too many plates for the table' to actually finish.
Fagges Soup
A rich lentil soup highlighted by The Infatuation as a 'memorable, comforting standout' on an otherwise extensive traditional menu.

Good to know
Request a table in the back conservatory (described as looking like the Rainforest Cafe) for the best lighting and vibes. It gets extremely busy, so booking is essential. There is a great value set lunch menu on weekdays.
