Friends Of Ours is the place to go if you fancy something a little unique. Nestled in N1, this neighbourhood restaurant boasts an extensive menu made from high-quality, local ingredients. 

Its new autumn menu is out now; some highlights include the creamed corn, truffled wild mushrooms and walnut gremolata on sourdough toast and the baked brioche with sour blackberry, quince compote, pistachio custard, toasted pepitas and lemon sorrel. Yum.

The Good Life Eatery prides itself on helping its customers become happier and healthier, and its food is guaranteed to leave your tastebuds very content.

While its menu is an all-day concept (meaning you can order any of the items on its menu at any time of the day) its selection of breakfast-related items, including creamy vegan porridge, a fresh acai bowl and chestnut and almond waffles, make it a worthy of a place on this list.

Two out of three of Volonté’s locations include both a cafe and an exercise studio, but the brand has become famous among London’s health-conscious community for all the flavoursome, nutritionally balanced meals that feature on its menu.

Nestled in the bustling environment of Neal’s Yard, the 26 Grains menu isn’t extensive, but the items it does have are packed full of flavour and health-boosting ingredients. The strawberry porridge – which brings together coconut yoghurt, strawberry and balsamic coulis and pistachio granola – is a prime example of how unique and delicious this place’s food is.

You can’t book a table here – it’s walk-in only – so you might have to wait to get a table if you visit at a busy time. But it’s worth the wait.

This plant-based restaurant in Notting Hill prides itself on being both sustainable and nutritious, and its menu is packed full of classic dishes with a health-focused edge.

Mouthwatering stuff.

This female-owned and led cafe in Finsbury Park may just be one of north London’s best-kept secrets.
