Maxim - Barnet

I had onion soup which was good waitress asked if wanted cheese and crouton which was appreciated. Would recommend visit it is a No Bull Cafe [ie meatless] will it get on the protean nmeat bandwagon like one of its neighbours. Was thursday night and not many tabels full

First post-Covid visit, and it was wonderful...the staff are as friendly as before, and it was nice to see familiar faces amongst them! We were a party of four and we all enjoyed our food, which was fresh and HOT and delicious. There is plenty of choice, the staff are very helpful, and we left full and happy and glad that the world is opening up again :

We visited on Boxing Day and the place was quite busy with tables of 4 guests or more. I had the avocado club sandwich which being made of 3 slices of toasted bread crammed with filling was too tall to easily fit in the mouth. The middle slice of bread being sticky with dressing etc one could not pull it apart and keep fingers clean. My wife and daughter enjoyed mushroom risotto and spaghetti respectively. Apple strudel with ice cream dessert was nice. Service was o.k..

I popped in for lunch and ordered a starter and a main. I waited ages for my starter which never arrived... eventually when my food did arrive it was the main course. They took back my mains and finally brought me the starter of spring rolls, which was absolutely delicious. My main course of mushroom ravioli was a little bit too rich and a bit too heavy on the tomato sauce that I couldn't taste mushroom. The staff were smoking outside so there was a waft of cigarette smoke, which is a shame. Other than that the staff were friendly.

The restaurant is clean, bright, comfortable and welcoming. The young waitress who served us was charming, helpful and efficient and the food was delicious. The set lunch menu is superb value for money and I highly recommend it. Best of all, the lavatory is clean and spacious!!!!! I've added Maxim to my list of favourite restaurants and am looking forward to my next visit,
