Reviews in North London

This is honestly the best fish and seafood restaurant we have eaten in for a very long time. The service and atmosphere creates a great dining experience. The flavours of every dish are incredible.

5 stars I visited Matthews Kitchen last night and had a fantastic experience. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. What really stood out was the stunning seafood display—it shows just how fresh and high-quality their ingredients are. Even though I don’t live in the area, I’ll definitely be coming back whenever I’m in London. I’m looking forward to visiting again with my relatives who live in Whetstone. Thank you to the entire team for a wonderful evening!

We’ve been here a few times over the years now and on every visit, they do not disappoint. Food has always been excellent, but in fact, it seems their service is improving all the time. Our most recent visit was a birthday occasion, but the very friendly and attentive staff went out of their way to make the event all the more special. Highly recommended!

This is hands down the best restaurant anywhere in north London. The fish is fresh and well cooked and all the other food is excellent. The standard of the food represents good value and the staff are very attentive and helpful.

Fabulous fresh fish with beautiful sauces and sides, service fantastic and every mouthful delicious highly recommend

We had the most amazing mussels that i can remember having in London. A total delight overall as the staff was not only welcoming but really did care througout our dinner. Reccommend 100%

5 Stars Absolutely fantastic seafood restaurant on Whetstone High Street! The food was incredibly fresh and full of flavour — clearly made to order and worth every minute of the wait. I highly recommend the mixed grill and the lobster, both were cooked to perfection. My sister couldn’t stop talking about her dish — every single bite was spot on. And the chocolate fondant Simply divine! While the service could’ve been a bit more attentive, professional and the quality of the food really stole the show. A must-visit for any seafood lover in North London!

The food and decor/ambiance are very nice. But the service was, to be honest, absolutely terrible. It was so slow and inattentive. Such a shame....

We recently visited Matthew’s Kitchen Seafood Restaurant and were impressed by the freshness of the fish — they all tasted amazing! The food was fantastic overall, and the desserts were equally delicious. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was friendly. We also spotted the seafood mixed grill, which looked amazing, and we’re definitely planning to try it next time. Highly recommend this place for seafood lovers!

So good! Great food and friendly service. Even though it's quite far from where we live we will make an effort to come back.

Great food and excellent service. We love going to Matthew’s Kitchen on a regular basis.

Excellent food and service. Highly recommend.

Very good delicious food and service. Quite busy for a Wednesday but not too busy. Was sat in the corner which was good - hard to read the menu but far enough from loud middle aged ladies. And dessert was brought with a a candle which was a nice touch for my husband's birthday. Never had a bad experience here.

Staff and food faultless...Will defo be one of my locals.

Interesting wines, lovely Danish food, and knowledgeable service

I have been here a few times, it's consistently good, never had a bad meal. Fish is delicious and fresh, I had scallops and monkfish both beautifully presented and very tasty. The service was very good, lovely atmosphere. They overheard it was my birthday and gave me a dessert on the house.

Really lovely meal, will definitely be back ! Highly recommend

As always. One of tge best fish restaurant in north London. The fish soup is great!
