Monkeynuts

My partner and I were in England and staying in the lovely Crouch End whilst in London. In New Zealand were are used to fresh food and vegetables and friendly staff and found Monkey Nuts to be exactly that. Was a great experience and if ever back in Crouch End will call in again for lunch or dinner. Two very happy Kiwis

Went to Monkey Nuts last weekend, and was really disappointed. We were in the back section, at a table for two which was crammed in next to all the other tables. Every time anyone walked behind me, my chair was bashed and my coat was knocked on the floor 3 times. Laughably my husband even had to get up to let another couple sit down, it was that cramped!

The food was fine, nothing too exciting, but we couldn't wait to get out of there. Not at all relaxing, and just felt that it was all about getting as many people in as possible and getting them out again asap.

i thought the food was terrible, terrible. The staff were friendly but they didnt serve quick enough. Not bad but a little dissapointing birthday. My brother thought the restaurant was too load and recieved a bad headache. Unless you dont mind loud dinners, there is the place to go! The chips are very nice though and the rest of my family had a wonderful evening. Its fun, its mad,its....monkeynuts

Being a Crouch End local I really should have tried Monkey Nuts ages ago but somehow never got to it. My perception before going was the the restaurant was quite pricey.

Having been there now I thought the food was reasonably priced. I had a t-bone steak which was perfectly prepared, however I did not particularly rate the quality of the meat. In fact, it wasn't very good at all. maybe it was just my garlic butter (which they served on the meat even though the menu states ALL sauces/sides are served on the side Oh well.

I though the rest of the meal was great and my friend had a burger, which looked mean! He certainly enjoyed it.

Wine wise we went for the £21 bottle of South African white. Being South African I though it was a steep price for the quality of the wine.

Saturday was the third time my wife and I have been here, and we have not been disappointed. It's a fun atmosphere, the service is quick and friendly, and they have everything you'd want to eat at a casual restaurant. Burgers, onion rings, fish finger sandwiches, salads, and some specials. Good drinks list as well.

Great burgers - I had the burger with blue cheese and mushrooms - very tasty. If you like gourmet burgers or american style food then this is the place to go!

Great place! Love the relaxed atmosphere and lovely food! A great place for a chilled out night either for 2 or a big group of friends! Servers the best daiquiris in North London. We go there about once a week and I would recommend it to anyone!

Not sure why someone has complained about the service in this place - it was fantastic when i went there on the weekend! The staff were all so friendly and helpful! The food was delicious. I had the prawns and then the fish & chips and my friend had the chicken nuggets and a gigantic burger. We shared a brownie for dessert which finished the meal off nicely. We had a great night with the great music, great staff and great food. Will definitely be going back!!
