About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
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. Velvet drapery, lush foliage, and sweeping Renaissance-inspired murals create a sophisticated backdrop for indulgence.

The seasonal menu showcases the finest ingredients—organic vegetables, wild fish, and game (when in season)—alongside impeccably prepared steaks, all elevated by the exquisite sauces that define French gastronomy.

Located moments from the Crouch End Clocktower, Bistro Aix also offers an elegant private dining room for up to 28 guests, ideal for intimate gatherings and special celebrations.

    Four of us went for a birthday celebration. It was the perfect evening. A warm welcome, a delightful table, Michelin star food (IMHO), fabulous wine, and no attempt to rush us out to squeeze in another booking. I eat out for work on a regular basis, but for any personal or family purpose, Bistro Aix will always be my first choice. Long may you flourish.

    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.

    10/10 compliments to the chef. The food was nothing short of outstanding! The waiter paired a glass of wine with my meal Would recommend anyone to come and try for yourself.

    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.
