Franks Canteen

Intimate little place near Finsbury Park. Weekly changing menu, one for day and one for night. On this particular visit they had a delicious beetroot dip served with halloumi and poached eggs. Everything was cooked incredibly well and the beetroot dip was light and nutty and went really well with the naan they served it with. My dining companion ordered the fried chicken which came served on toasted bread with cheese, more cheese on top of the chicken and an arrangement of sweet chilies and pickles and lots of flavorful gravy. The most delicious open-faced sandwich ever!! The staff are very friendly and accommodating. We didn't have a reservation and managed to get a table by the window very easily.

A lovely local place; discovered it when I was looking for somewhere to meet and eat before the football match. It was really busy, booking is recommended! Their food/brunch menu looks like they change weekly which is fun and the meal was fantastic. They also have fresh pastries to buy, great if you're only stopping by for a takeaway coffee too. As they were busy, the team had forgotten about my coffee initially, but it came eventually.

Delicious spot with great friendly people. Menu is changing weekly leaving you with new exciting tastes each week. The coffee is also delicious and there is a suite of pastries in the mornings to grab while available. They also sell some wines and other goodies. Would say that brunch here is a standout in the neighborhood with options from English classics to hearty hashes and spice full daals and sabichs.
