Behind the velvet curtains, the street outside is quickly forgotten.L’Estaminet d’Aix, known to most as Bistro Aix, has been cooking classical French food in the heart of Crouch End since 2002. It is chef-owned and quietly romantic, with velvet drapes, plenty of greenery and large Renaissance-style murals around softly lit tables.The menu changes with the seasons and is built on good produce: organic vegetables, wild fish, game and well-kept steaks, finished with the proper French sauces the kitchen is known for.We’re a short walk from the Crouch End Clocktower, and our private dining room seats up to 28, for birthdays, celebrations or a smaller gathering.
