Fay Maschler reviews Heirloom | London Evening Standard

ES Food Newsletter Two things I associate with Crouch End: going there twice a week to see a Kleinian analyst and hearing — at about the same time in the early 1990s — that Bob Dylan had bought a house in the area.
The word heirloom in Crouch End might well refer to vinyl LPs and tattered books — examples clutter the restaurant shelves — but here the reference is to open-pollinated heritage fruits and vegetables, which the owners grow on Hazeldene Farm in Buckinghamshire.
James — according to the bill that is his name — crouches beside us to discuss the seven-course tasting menu selected by the kitchen.
Perhaps serving Berkshire pork cheeks with braised and also shaved raw fennel next — before the dish of Cornish hake with an almond crust on ratatouille and red pepper purée — is supposed to jolt preconceptions of how a meal should play out, but it is merely disconcerting and the complex and beguiling flavours in the pork leave us wanting the potentially immaculate fish more simply presented.

Les Associés, London NW8 | Life and style | The Guardian

The restaurant's red-painted exterior, boasting what my mother would call "tart's curtains" (swathes of festooned red gossamer), nestles implausibly in a row of Victorian cottages in Crouch End, north-west London.
It all put my date, David, and me in mind of a dining room in the sort of twee, privately run Scottish hotel where complimentary shampoo would be an unheard-of luxury.
David decided to go full-on trad and ordered snails in garlic butter followed by chicken stuffed with morel cream sauce.
Les Associés is a delightful, well-run establishment serving really good food at reasonable prices.
Hey, it's just like good French restaurants used to be before everything had to be darkened wood, uncomfortable trendy seats and models for waiters, and I can't think of higher praise than that.
