From the moment we stepped into Cubes, it was clear we were in for something special. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between modern elegance and relaxed comfort—an ideal backdrop for what turned out to be a truly unforgettable meal.
We began with the prawn croquettes, which were a masterclass in texture and flavor. Perfectly golden and crisp on the outside, they gave way to a creamy, rich interior bursting with the essence of the sea. The prawns were impeccably fresh, their natural sweetness elevated by subtle seasoning and a delicate hint of citrus. Each bite was both luxurious and light—a rare and skillful feat.
Then came the duck, cooked to a flawless medium-rare, with a beautifully rendered, crisp skin that added a satisfying contrast to the tender, juicy meat beneath. The flavors were deep and complex—earthy yet refined—enhanced by a sauce that struck a delicate balance between richness and acidity. Every element on the plate played a role in telling the story of the dish.
Finally, the lamb. Simply put, it was extraordinary. Meltingly tender, with a depth of flavor that only the finest cuts and careful preparation can deliver. The seasoning was pitch-perfect, allowing the natural character of the lamb to shine without overpowering it. Whether slow-roasted or seared, it was clear that this dish had been crafted with the kind of care and respect that separates a good kitchen from a great one.
Cubes isn't just a restaurant—it's a celebration of culinary precision and passion. Every dish we tried reflected not only technical excellence but a genuine love of food. We left already planning our return, eager to explore more of what this remarkable place...

Read moreA smashing little spot for brunch in the centre of Crouch End, a short detour from the Parkland Walk as we got to about halfway through.
Brunch dishes of smashed avocado, bacon, and poached eggs, and fried chicken, bacon, sunny side-up eggs were incredible. Both were delivered on tasty sourdough and with Mediterranean accents. The cappuccinos were tasty too. We weren't served a drinks menu but this was probably for the best as the table next to us were chugging Negronis and they looked divine. We really appreciated the complimentary infused water that was brought to us without asking.
The table on our other side were regulars and they were singing to us about the place. There's a dining room in the front with an open kitchen but we were parked in a room at the back with a retractable roof which, as soon as we were seated, they opened up for us, bathing us in sunlight as we enjoyed our food. Service is swift and friendly, but not overbearing. Very accommodating to large parties, pets and kids.
Once again, a fortuitous and fabulous find. Brunch and coffee for two came to just under £forty. We will...
