About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions

A celebrated French restaurant in the heart of Crouch End, Bistro Aix is a chef-owned, independent restaurant dedicated to the timeless artistry of French cuisine.

Recognised with 10 Michelin Recommendations and a 2024 award from The World of Fine Wine, Bistro Aix exemplifies culinary excellence. Its vibrant yet refined atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between expertise and warmth, offering an elevated but welcoming dining experience.

    For a perfectly relaxing Sunday evening to celebrate the end of the weekend and to prepare for the week ahead, there is no better place than Aix. For us, the best restaurant north of the river: intimate, warm, and preeminent quality. Thank you.

    This is the best French food in Crouch End by a long shot. And it is consistently good. We have been going to Aix 2-3 times a year for to past twelve years, and always had an excellent meal.

    Wonderful local French restaurant in Crouch End. We are newly locals and will definitely be back regularly. Food is incredible, service is top-notch. Generally just an incredible evening in a small restaurant serving big-restaurant quality food.

    Wish I could move Bistro Aix to Miami. I visit London every year and always have a meal here. The food is wonderful and so is the service. I’ve seen a lot of eateries come and go in this charming neighbourhood. They have been there for over 20 years because it’s such a pleasure to dine here.

    We had a family Sunday lunch at Aix and the food was really excellent. We had Sunday roast options which were great and the puddings were really special. Delicious tarte tatin and rhubarb millefeuille in particular. Service was also very good. I will definitely come again as I am local and this was my first visit.
    Bistro AixResponded on May 15, 2025
