Best Contemporary French Restaurants in Canonbury

As ever, wonderful: Great staff, ambience and food.

For a restaurant that has only been open for a few weeks, High delivers a standard of cooking and service comparable to Gordon Ramsay's long-established Royal Hospital Road outpost. We particularly liked the personalised written summary of the food and wine we had enjoyed and the rapport created with our fellow diners and the High team. Definitely a restaurant at the top of its game straight out of the box!

Excellent food (Michelin star kind of food, in line with SoLa quality), presentation of the dishes is beautiful, excellent service, respecting the codes of service. Really quiet place, you can have a normal conversation without having to scream to hear each other. Only thing I'll say is you need three hours to go through the menu. A lot of wait between meals.

The host was friendly and welcoming. We were uni friends meeting after a while and were given time and space to catch up over good food and drink. Complementary chocolates at the end were a lovely touch.

We had the most wonderful dining experience. From our arrival to the good byes, the entire team at Club Gascon was amazing and made our evening very special. The food was superb and the wine pairing worked wonderfully. Hope to come back!
