3 Granary Square, London N1C 4BH

This has a great location, overlooking the canal. It's said to be one of the most popular places on Granary Square at any time of the year - but it really comes into its own in summer with extensive outside space. Dogs are welcome too.

19 Crouch Hill, London N4 4AP

Max Halley puts together some of the best sandwiches you'll have in North London.

1 King's Boulevard, London N1C 4BU

This used to be the first-ever gym in London - a huge imposing building just outside St Pancras. Expect plenty of German food, humongous sausages and Bavarian beer on the menu. It's brasserie-style downstairs and more of a fine-dining approach upstairs.

93 Stoke Newington Church St, London N16 0AS

This sees the former market stall go to the next level. They'll be serving bagels, stuffed pitas, fried chicken, short-rib pastrami and lots more. And expect a good brunch offering too, all with a Middle Eastern touch.
