• Fish • Holloway
Booked 3 times today
Tired of the loosely French inspired humdrum of restaurants popping up across the city of London? Do you like holidays? Do you like cold drinks and warm service? If you've answered yes to one or more of these then perhaps Tollington's can refresh both your pallet and your mind. The idea came from a mirror in an antiques market and a love for a more informal approach to dining, the result is a chippy in North London with old church pews bolted to the walls to be leaned on and eaten from. The focus is on fish but the menu transcends fish, mammals and vegetables, leaving no stone unturned in the never ending quest for flavour. Split between two rooms, the front the engine, the kitchen and bar shared by customers as they perch on bar stools and enjoy dinner and a show. The back, bookable room is lower, lower lighting, lower seating, perhaps a slight calm compared to the front room, here works of art from friends of the restaurant adorn the walls and floors.Book now to reach Nirvana.

    Everything was exceptionally good! Food, staff, atmosphere, we are already planning to go back. We were celebrating my boyfriend’s 40th birthday and they brought us a cake with a candle as a surprise. Everything was delicious and everyone working there is kind even though it’s super busy.

    A warm welcome on a chilly night. We 3 had steak, lamb and fishcake with chips and mixed veg. Everything was well cooked and the chips were particularly good. Portions were generous. We had a couple of glasses of wine and a non-alcoholic beer. We had ice-cream and a citrus posset for dessert - great, but we didn't really have room. Lussmans is up in Highgate, on many bus routes from Archway, Finchley etc so no need to park. The restaurant is warm and welcoming and has been upgraded from its previous incarnation as Cote. It feels like a great local place and an alternative to the pubs which dominate the eating experience in Highgate.

    Such a great restaurant. Lovely relaxed atmosphere in a gorgeous space with stunning, absolutely delicious plates of seasonal food, but what really makes it special is the service. The staff are committed, knowledgable and so, so accommodating and lovely - they make every trip here a truly wonderful occasion. The soft serve is pretty amazing too!
