Read our recommendations for the best restaurants in Tottenham below.
Chuku’s
Self-proclaimed as ‘the world’s first Nigerian tapas restaurant’, Chuku’s showcases traditional flavours in its small sharing plates. Emeka and Ifeyinwa Frederick, the brother-sister duo behind the restaurant, have created a menu informed by their heritage, bringing an authentic taste of Lagos to North London. The eatery’s ‘chop, chat and chill’ concept translates into a relaxed and friendly ambience, making it a great spot for dinner with friends.
True Craft
True Craft is a Tottenham-born and bred pizzeria, having opened its doors on West Green Road six years ago. The restaurant’s menu is centred on the two things it does best: sourdough pizza and craft beer. It sources fresh ingredients from British suppliers and uses honed techniques to create its pizzas, ensuring it stays ‘true to the craft’. The draught beers change weekly, showcasing tipples from the best microbreweries, and there’s also a curated selection of wines from small and independent producers.
Pasero
Specialising in small plates, wine and coffee, Pasero is a café-bar by day and a restaurant with chef’s residencies by night. It’s the brainchild of Genevieve Sparrow, who made her name on London’s culinary scene by hosting supper clubs in Tottenham. The menu changes weekly and focuses on seasonal ingredients, so you can expect different dining options throughout the year.
Deluxe Manna
Located on High Cross Road, a short walk from Tottenham Hale station, Deluxe Manna is a restaurant serving in Congolese, African and Caribbean food. The menu spotlights speciality dishes crafted with organic ingredients hand-selected from the market each morning, bringing the authentic flavours to life.
With Milk
With Milk is a fantastic little coffee shop and deli owned by two sisters, with help from their pet dog Tekka. Serving coffee and local food that offers a nod to their North African and local Tottenham roots, With Milk offers a changing menu of sandwiches, stuffed pitta and sweet treats, including their renowned huge croissants.
