Carlos@b&v brings the finer side of dining and service to this unique little part of North London, on the Green in Winchmore Hill, a stone's throw from the mainline station of the same name and a short drive from Southgate on the end of the Piccadiily Line. Carlos himself is a restauranteur with flair, having built a reputation in the area over 30 years and so his experience with executing a dynamic and slick establishment brings much to be excited about. Guests will get that familiar 'welcome back' feeling even if they happen to be newcomers. The interiors are comfortably chic but inviting, with a warm ambience and the atmosphere is busy and vibrant. Live music and niche little magic entertainers are a regular occurrence. With an open alfresco feel in the summer, looking out on to the Green itself and a pavement terrace in warmer months too.
The menu is Modern European with a specials menu that changes regularly and plenty of choice on the drinks and cocktail menu.

    I thought the food was amazing. We made a couple of requests like a birthday dessert and a window seat which were met. We had a young girl serve our table and she was awesome. Over all great birthday dinner for Dad :-)

    The restaurant was busy on arrival (Sunday lunchtime). Firstly, they could not find my booking, despite me confirming the day before that I would be coming. Our guests had arrived a little earlier, so they wiped our booking off the tablet! Secondly, they rushed us throughout the meal, firstly telling us that we had only 2 hours, and then clearing plates and cutlery off the table before we had even finished dining, bringing us the bill before we had asked for it or finished eating etc. Very unprofessional, and unlike the excellent service of the old Buckle & Vaughan that had existed on that spot for many years previously. We think it was the Manager who was displaying all this discourtesy. We have dined there during the week, and the waiters (Elliot in particular) could not have been more attentive and helpful. It is not the diners fault that Management have over-booked the restaurant, nobody should be rushed and make to feel unwelcome! Very poor hospitality indeed! Tables were too close to each other, which made exiting and entry difficult without bumping into diners eating on the nearby table. It was very noisy too, with babies screaming. Food quality and portions were reasonable, not plentiful. Prices hefty, which make the rudeness even more unpalatable.

    The food was very good, and good value. The restaurant was very full and thus very noisy. The staff were very good, but it took a long time for our main courses to arrive.

    We ate here this week and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The staff were attentive at just the right level and the menu was interesting and varied. The food quality was great. Will definitely return.

    Unfortunately we were very disappointed by the whole experience. What should have been a very special night was spoiled by poor service. We were offered many discounts at the end of the evening to placate us but ultimately my 90 year old aunt who chose the restaurant to celebrate her birthday was left with the disappointment that throughout the evening her family was waiting far too long for drinks and food and she said that she just wanted to go home! Again, very disappointed! Bad show!!

    I had the pleasure of dining at Carlos in Winchmore Hill, and it was simply exceptional! The food was fantastic—fresh, high-quality, and bursting with flavour in every dish. Our server, Elliot, made the experience even better with his charm and attentiveness and his great recommendations for the food and wine. From start to finish, the lunch was perfect, and we are already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience! 4o

    We are probably biased as this is our favourite local restaurant. The levels never drop with excellent food and service. It can be a little noisy but the atmosphere is always buzzy. The magician going from table to table is a nice touch.
