Looking for decent places to meet and eat before a game or concert at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium? From interesting gastropubs to local favourites here are our picks of where to go in Tottenham.
Blighty Tottenham
266 High Rd, London N15 4AJ
With branches in Finsbury Park and Tottenham, this independent cafe prides itself on serving up the best of British. They do a great full English and their pastries and coffee are always on point.
The Bluecoats
614 High Road, London N17 9TA
Formerly The Pride of Tottenham (and before that The Blue Coats School For Girls - hence the name), this historic 18th-century building was taken over by a team who have Ruby's in Dalston and Night Tales in their CVs. The food is a cut above the average pub fare - expect nduja Scotch eggs with bramley dip, ex-dairy cut for the beef roast, a very good cheeseburger made with Mr Txuleta’s patty and beer battered fish & chips.
Capital
271 Fore St, London N9 0PD
The biggest Turkish restaurant in the area, the whole Turkish caboodle is here, from the yogurt rich ‘Yogurtlu’ kebabs and small cubes of lamb 'çop shish’ (not served everywhere), to good lahmacun, lamb ribs and grilled quail.
Chick King
755 High Rd, London N17 8AH
A Tottenham institution, and possibly the best fried chicken shop in London. Run by two brothers with military precision on a match day, with queues snaking down the road for good reason. Several leagues above your average chicken shop, and worth dropping in even when there’s no match. Love it.
Chukus
274 High Rd, London N15 4AJ
Nigerian tapas is very much a thing (as well as Beyonce-approved) and this supperclub turned permanent spot is serving up ojojo croquettes and quinoa jollof alongside plantain waffles and more. The brunch menu is a good option for weekend matches and concerts.
The High Cross
350 High Road, London, United Kingdom N17 9HT
Formerly a public toilets (we kid you not) this Tottenham pub has quickly grown a loyal fan base. They have 10 beers on tap, serve a mean Sunday roast and their sausage rolls and Scotch eggs are well worth a go.
Jerky's
42 Fore St, London N18 2SS
Fantastic servings of Caribbean classics here. Jerk chicken; ackee and saltfish; brown stew chicken. Favourites are the curry mutton (ask for bone-in) and curry chicken dishes. Always excellent.
Maki Mayo
75 West Green Rd, London N15 5DA
Order a cone of Makimayo's popcorn chicken and all will be well with the world. Run by locals, who started out serving up on Brick Lane, this Korean-inspired spot is run by Gary and his mum Ah Mooi Luh. As for that mayo - choose from gangnam style, spicy mayo, wasamayo, island mayo, sweet & sour chicken and creamy mayo.
Pasero
120A West Green Road, South Tottenham, London N15 5AA
Coffee and pastries by day switching up to wine and seasonal sharing plates by night - that's the set up at this lovely neighbourhood spot set up by an ex-Quality Chop House manager and former supper club host Genevieve Sparrow. There's a rotating roster of guest chefs so check out their website to see who's currently in the kitchen.
Perkyn's
10 Vicarage Parade, West Green Road, London N15 3BL
This self-styled coffee, bottle shop and bar is good for grabbing St John doughnuts and a proper Roasting Shed coffee on the go or swinging by for snacks and craft beer in the evening. You can also get Yard Sale pizza delivered to your table here.
San Marco
1 Station Buildings, Bruce Grove, London, N17 6QY
Old school family-owned Italian trattoria that has been here for forty years, and still a favourite for many Spurs fans. Spaghetti Carbonara, Penne all’Arrabbiata, homemade ricotta and spinach ravioli, and it still feels like the 70s in there – what more do you want?
Tottenham Star
694 High Rd, London N17 0AE
Small mangal spot seconds from the ground, and the best value adana in N17. Quality may have dipped a bit in recent years, but at those prices, it still scores highly for soaking up post-match drinks.
Yard Sale Pizza
8 Vicarage Parade, West Green Rd, London N15 3BL
In this branch of the popular pizza chain, there's room in here for 20 to dine in or you can just grab and go. Our personal favourite is the TSB (Tenderstem broccoli with Parmesan) and there's usually an interesting special or collab worth trying.
