More sweet than sour 
This is a nice little Ethiopian restaurant with a very traditional menu, great service and an experience that's a little different.
The main staple pancake like base of the dishes (the injera) is a treat however it is a little on the sour side. You've been warned! Oh and it's also extremely filling! The injera is a bit like a tablecloth as you're relish is served on top of it and then you roll sections of it up along with the relish and eat it.
The after dinner coffee is accompanied by a little ceremony which is good fun, although if you have the table by the kitchen door you'll find you get part of the ceremony repeated throughout your night...
End of the day this place is well worth a visit...

Perfect Party Pub
So it's true this pub is popular with skinny indie kids. However not many people would call me skinny, I might like a bit of indie music but i'm certainly not a kid. Having said all that I love this place. It's always good lively, good fun and the beer garden is a sure fire winner if your looking for a party venue.

Outside Table Football!
Picture a summer evening, you're with friends and you've had a couple of nice cold pints of beer or a glass or 2 of Pimms, and then you spot it. The only outside pub table football in North London and there's a few wide boys already playing on it. The perfect opporunity to challenge and show your skills and quite frankly the perfect pub to spend a summer evening at.
I don't know whether it's the best in the winter as i've never been and probably never will however this place comes into it's own as soon as the summer weather hits the north. Oh and Regents Park is a 10 minute walk if you fancy an alternative venue should the beer garden gets too crowded.

Easy Like Sunday Morning
What a brilliant little cafe complete with garden out back. The atmosphere is chilled and a little arty (well enough for me!). The menu is focused on your typical cafe fair. My recommendation would be for the home made quiche or the jacket potatoe with goat's cheese and mediterranean vegetables.
The only draw back is the fact that they don't do fry ups - so a trip to Stingray on the opposite side of the road is required every once in a while.

Wagamama ++
Basically you'd never actively want to go to Wagamama's again after you've had a meal here. The style is very similar, communial dinning with fast and furious service. So if you don't mind hearing how Jess thought about her latest date went or what Paul's day at the office was like whilst dinning on some rather good Japanese noodle, sushi or curry dishes then this is the place for you.
If you want my advice I'd select one of the Japanese Shinto boxes. They've got a mixture of most things on the menu and for less than a £10 you can feel stuffed (always a sign of a very good meal in my book)!
