Franks Canteen

Intimate little place near Finsbury Park. Weekly changing menu, one for day and one for night.

On this particular visit they had a delicious beetroot dip served with halloumi and poached eggs. Everything was cooked incredibly well and the beetroot dip was light and nutty and went really well with the naan they served it with.

My dining companion ordered the fried chicken which came served on toasted bread with cheese, more cheese on top of the chicken and an arrangement of sweet chilies and pickles and lots of flavorful gravy. The most delicious open-faced sandwich ever!!

The staff are very friendly and accommodating. We didn't have a reservation and managed to get a table by the window very easily.

I love this place I may be only 12 but I use to get my parents coffee from here every day and they loved it. I would also get my self a cookie which is like be delicious and sometimes a bacon roll of I was good which was the best thing ever. I highly suggest having breakfast one morning here or even stopping by to get a pastry or a coffee as all the workers are lovely and it is a very nice place.

Great coffee and delicious food, We loved it. Try the changing bakery goods and stoke up on coffee beans. The staff was very friendly with everyone, which is always a bonus.

Always a top notch experience - food is incredible, staff are so lovely, I'll never leave it too long between baps 🤤 thank you as always!!

Had an incredible lunch at Franks! Food was super fresh and absolutely delicious. The team there are brilliant, and clearly passionate about what they’re doing. Will be back in a flash!

Enjoyed brunch here tremendously. The spinach, mushroom, feta flat bread was crispy and savoury, whereas the add-on sausages were cooked to perfection. The lamb was nicely done. One of my favourite meals in London!

Franks Canteen is a fantastic little spot, especially if you're after some top-notch coffee and really tasty food. It's an ideal place for brunch, serving up delicious plates that hit the spot every time. The vibe is casual and laid-back, making it perfect for a relaxed catch-up with friends. Whether you're popping in for a quick coffee or settling in for a leisurely meal, it's got a welcoming, cosy feel that just makes you want to stick around. If you're in the area and looking for a cool, unpretentious place to hang out, Franks Canteen is definitely worth checking out.

This has been my local neighborhood spot since I moved to the area 2 years ago. The food never disappoints. I love the creativity of the menu and can’t wait to see what they come up with every week. Today the jalapeño cornbread huevos rancheros was incredible. A wonderful start to the day. The flatbreads of the week are also amazing. A real gem on blackstock road.

Pleasant place where you can eat all day long balanced dishes prepared minutes by the cooks behind the counter!

I highly recommend for the food full of flavor and for the calm and relaxing setting!

Enjoy!

We went to Frank's Canteen after getting a recommendation from a local. It was amazing! The best food we had during our stay in London, friendly service and a really nice location.

Charming, delicious little spot! The setup is a bit confusing—I tried to order at the counter and didn’t realize they had table service (and be warned, the table service is extremely slow). Luckily I wasn’t in a hurry and had a nice little lunch!

Best brunch place near clissold park and Highbury and easily one of the best in London❤💋I LOVE THIS PLACE! I have to come back and try their dinner menu😋

Lovely little cafe/restaurant in a nice street in highbury serving a small but interesting selection of breakfast dishes and pastries. Good service, friendly staff. The beetroot borani with the fried halloumi was definitely worth the visit. Coffee was ok. Would happily go back!

A lovely local place; discovered it when I was looking for somewhere to meet and eat before the football match.
It was really busy, booking is recommended! Their food/brunch menu looks like they change weekly which is fun and the meal was fantastic.
They also have fresh pastries to buy, great if you're only stopping by for a takeaway coffee too.
As they were busy, the team had forgotten about my coffee initially, but it came eventually.

Great coffee with milk alternatives and their brunch is amazing. It rotates weekly. Their huevos rancheros was the best I’ve had outside of California. The picture below is their corn fritters. Love this spot!

Delicious spot with great friendly people. Menu is changing weekly leaving you with new exciting tastes each week. The coffee is also delicious and there is a suite of pastries in the mornings to grab while available. They also sell some wines and other goodies. Would say that brunch here is a standout in the neighborhood with options from English classics to hearty hashes and spice full daals and sabichs.

A small place that you might walk by without noticing, but don't make that mistake.
Frank's has some superb food, interesting and eclectic, prepared beautifully and served by lovely staff.
A little one-off gem of a restaurant that that we need more of.

Went here for dinner and was quite surprised by how nice it was. Everything we ordered tasted great. It was pretty quiet on a Thursday and the staff were attentive. Was a good time.

A Sunday morning breakfast in Frank’s put a smile on my face - first class food, with fast, friendly service and a nice cosy atmosphere.

What a gem ! I can't wait to come back and bring my other friends there. The food is delicious with an original kick. And the waitress was really kind and welcoming. It was delightful and we had more food than we expected because it was so tasty. It is boutique restaurant and it has a good vibe to it. If you are foodie, you LL love it
