Recently awarded The Good Food Guide’s Best Local Restaurant award for the whole of London, Les 2 Garçons is a highly rated French bistro in Crouch End. It was founded in 2021 by two old friends, Robert Reid and Jean-Christophe Slowik, who’d long dreamed of opening their own restaurant since meeting at The Oak Room in 1998. Since then, the restaurant’s been raking in the accolades – and not for nothing. This is a classic French bistro at its best, with its regularly changing menu of excellently executed traditional French food and its carefully curated wine list. If this is your bistro de quartier, you’re *very* lucky.
