Reviews in North London

The food is really good. The fish taco starter is so good. You are not rushed and the staff are great

Went for dinner with my sister and brother in-law. Really really enjoyed it food the atmosphere and the staff. Great place to eat with friendly staff.

I've been a Matthew's Kitchen Whetstone customer for quite a few years now, but only this evening did I first try the mussels - the tomato & oregano style. Brilliant! A big portion served in the classic metal pot. Mussels are surprisingly filling, this was plenty. I did order extra bread which was a good idea to mop up the sauce. The extra side of green beans was amazing too, perfectly cooked and had such a fresh flavour and al dente texture. The special scallops, served as so often with chorizo, and this time herb garlic butter , were as good as ever, too. Fish & shellfish soup goes without saying, I always have this. Great meal to cheer me up on a still gloomy March evening, thanks again Angela & Team Matthew.

I am a fish lover and this is my favourite restaurant. Plenty of options, all beautifully cooked and presented. This time I had the tuna which was beautifully rare and my partner enjoyed the haddock which is his favourite. The cocktails are great too and they have many specials. Thoroughly recommend and we'll be back soon!

A fantastic local fish restaurant with quality produce. Our meal was superb with generous servings, great service, value for money and a warm atmosphere. Will be returning!

Such a delightful night! The service, the food and the ambience were amazing! Will definitely come back!

Very good food and nice atmosphere at Matthews!

All round very pleased. Staff were really helpful when making changes to my booking. The food was good, in fact I’d say the food was great for an “out of town” restaurant. Fresh ingredients and solid cooking. I’ll definitely go back and also happily pass on positive reviews to anyone that asks.

As soon as we walked in we knew we were in good hands ,brilliant menu excellent service and the meal was fabulous. A definite return.

Two excellent specials today, the mackerel chorizo & pea arancini were especially brilliant and the sea bass risotto also very fine. I recommend trying arancini specials here as they are always well executed and sometimes, as on this occasion, top notch. The Gavi di Gavi costs a bit extra but is showing really well right now. I always have the fish & shellfish soup so this was simply as enjoyable as always, although a particularly tasty hint of the shells this evening. Costs can mount up in this restaurant, unstandable given the quality and the ingredients, and depending what exactly you have, but this meal was quite a pleasant surprise when the bill came. It was good to see the room pretty full for a Tuesday night in winter, with a quiet pleasant buzz.

It was a pleasure. Thank you. Food and drinks are very high-class

Food was absolutely delicious! Definitely recommend to others and will be going again. Service was great.

Excellent food & service. Will definitely be back

Yet another great meal. Food was fantastic. Service good. Really lovely evening.

Incredible meal with great flavours, varied menu options, beautifully delivered on the plate, and fantastic service. Couldn’t rate highly enough and will definitely be returning.

We were looked after very well during our anniversary dinner here. Food was great, the gravlax was particuarly superb! We had the paella for 2 which was great value for money. Cannot fault the food and service, happy to have this lovely place on our doorstep and my wife already wants to make plans to come back again soon!

I'm a regular here and it's one of my favourite places. The scallops, often on as special starters, are always especially brilliant. But this evening I had two main menu favourites: the fish & shellfish soup and the monkfish wrapped in bacon. Both are reliable. There was also an extra starter of special salmon sashimi which was particularly enjoyable; something about the exact way they'd mixed the soy based sauce. It's a cleverly designed and lit room with high ceilings and has a very pleasant buzz when busy or you can relax when it's quieter and admire the little decorative touches, mostly with a sea food theme of course. Any seafood place is expensive but this is much less so than similar quality in the centre of town, hence that score.

Food was superb.We tried different dishes all excellent.Desserts were delicious.Service was great . Highly recommended look forward to going again soon.
