Friendly service. Delicious starters (scallops are especially recommended). Good food; I especially like Melange's steaks. And they offer a lovely Malbec to accompany your steak. Who wants more ?

the staff went out of their way to help give me a meal without garlic, for which I was very grateful. They are very friendly and helpful.

Another excellent meal here. The food really does exceed expectations and great value for money. Service could improve. Cork snapped by awkward opening at table, plates removed while people still eating and often difficult to summon attention because service staff remains at bar end. Simple thing which could easily be resolved.

Great atmosphere especially in the evening for adults. Many Crouch End restaurants have become havens for kids! Service was excellent being very polite, attentive and informative. Good value for money. Will be returning soon.

Great little restaurant in central Crouch End. Good menu and a refreshing change from all the chains. Well priced too. Typically £20 cheaper than Cote etc for two

Lovely food but the service was not satisfying. One waitress was so grumpy and rude. Another one was very kind but broke some plates. The overall feeling is that the service is dragging down the standard of the restaurant.

Pleasant surroundings with excellent food. Minimum fuss, prompt and considerate service. I would recommend Melange to anyone. The Cassoulet was particularly good this evening. One of my favourite local restaurants.

The veal chop was the best I had in my life! The staff were lovely but started pushing drinks and starters at us before we could take our coats off and messed up our drinks order. The food was excellent though so highly recommended.

Very pleasant dining experience. Good choices, including vegetarian dishes. Waiting staff are very helpful and attentive, and the ambiance is relaxed and friendly. Ideal for a mid week evening out.

Not great to be honest. Told us on arrival we would need to vacate by 8.30. My food had to be returned as it was cold. 2 of the other meals were tasteless and bland . Will not go there again.

Quick service. Food tasty, although brunch presented in boxes with mushrooms in mason jars is a little too achingly trendy for my taste. Reasonable prices, not cheap but not overly expensive either.

For a person without a sweet tooth, a set menu for Valentine's day which did not include a cheese option for desert was aways going to be a problem. However, after entreating both our servers to prevail on the chef, I eventually had the camembert starter as a desert. It came with a two quid supplement (no quibble there), but I'd have been perfectly happy with just the cheese alone, rather than it being baked as the starter was...

We opted for the special menu which I would say is definitely worth it 3 courses for under £20! the options are not too restricted either- a good selection. Nice intimate venue.

We have been to Melange on several occasions, and taken friends and not been disappointed. We arrived just before 9p.m. and shown to our table by a very friendly waitress, had excellent food and wine and had a very pleasant evening.

Have eaten at Melange quite a few times, prior to a cinema outing. After a 'dip in form' pleased to report that my guests and I thought the food was very good and the service excellent. Bien fait!

Went here for new years, the food and service were great - unfortunately though the restaurant did not advertise that there was only the set new years menu to order from, and we were told we had to have all 3 courses in order to stay. If this had been made clearer then we might not have attended on new years, however have had the regular Melange menu in the past and it was really nice.

Great food beautifully served on plate . Nice atmosphere in the restaurant. They are family friendly. One thing , that crouch end branch is bit small and sometimes it might be lack of privacy.

Food as good as usual, but not what we ordered as items had run out. Further delays in taking the reorder. Service therefore felt on the slow side.

The food has gotten better since they opened over a year ago. The service is still spotty, but enjoyable experience overall. Prosecco should be served with white wine glass.

Excellent service as usual. Wine was good. Usually go for lunch but dinner this time. Food was okay but slightly under expectation. Mussel as starter was soft and not overkilled with herbs. Sirloin steak was just fair. Not tendered and a bit chewy.

We had a good time, as usual. Calamari starter was lovely and so was dessert. I had lamb shank for main and it didn't quite fall off the bone like I would have expected, it was a bit of a struggled to get the meat off. Tasted nice though and the house wine is delicious.

A formulaic experience. Service efficient but insensitive (offering to take food orders before we'd all settled, asking if everything was good before we'd started eating etc). Food well-presented, generous in portion size and looked appetising but everything tasted bland and somewhat greasy. Not expensive, but not worth the money. Not a chain I'd return to.

Enjoyable local restaurant. Cosy with a french/ Italian menu. The starter of camembert with sourdough toast was large enough to have as a small main course and was jolly good. The antipasto misto platter was also very good and well presented.

Good cuisine (and we are critical customers), very kind staff and nice atmosphere. After 6 pm many people flooded the place, including families with children which created a pleasant neighborhood ambiance. Background music was jazz at low level not te horrible, loud and brainless stuff you often hear in central London.
