We have been meeting from time to time at Melange for quite a few years. We can always expect very attentive service and lovely food.

The food was pretty average and the service rushed and slapdash. The corner bench seat we had was comfortable. Service charge was added to the bill.

The food and the service was good. The food came a little too fast so felt that we were in and out in not time at all.

Excellent service. Just about the right amount of time in between courses. Food cooked to perfection and piping hot. Very reasonably priced wine list. Overall a great experience.

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.

We have been coming to Melange since it was set up many years ago. It started off as a superb place with consistently good food. Sadly over the years it has been very hit and miss. This last time I ordered the sea bass which is normally a good choice. However, the fish had not been defrosted properly and so was wet and watery. Later in the evening I felt quite sick and I'm afraid it was probably due to the fish. Sadly I think that will be the last time we go to this once fabulous restaurant.

Good food and good value, would certainly eat at melange again in the future. My only minor gripe was that they showed my guest to the wrong table in a part of the restaurant not visible to me when he arrived. I only found out he was there when I texted to find out why he was late!
