Olive
10 Hornsey High St, London N8 7PB

First of all its incredibly cheap. Has fantastic coffee and fantastic hot chocolate. The portions are HUGE, and once again I must reiterate how cheap it is.

HOWEVER, this family run restaurant has two major flaws. First is their manager/wife/mother of the restaurant. At first you enjoy the attention you receive, you are always fell welcomed but there is just so many times you can stand her touching your hair or shouting your name across the restaurant. Secondly despite their food being rather good quality its all "fart food". I have had this conversation with my brother. We just don't understand what they do or how they cook the food but whatever you eat, be it the breakfast or the lamb shish you walk out leaving a trail of smell!

Despite this all, gumjoy does recommend that you give Olive a try. My personal favourite is the lamb shish. Give it a try. But please note they close at 6pm. So head down there for lunch.
