"Slotted in amongst a plethora of lovely independent businesses lined up like bunting on the high streets of Crouch End, the Cellars makes for an exceptionally nice stop should the wind blow one through the hilly reaches of north London. Well-stocked shelves with an ambitious reach into nearly every category of wine, liqueur, and spirits makes for an enviable neighbourhood destination, one that boasts just enough of everything. The selection here covers quite a bit of ground, from a full selection of Cantillon lambic (Belgian beers) to the juicy, vibrant Veneto wines of Marco Turco, to the liberated natural wines of the Loire, to the delicate Champagnes of Charles Dufour. Being a shop by day, bar by night, the fare is limited to snacks of cheese and charcuterie, but the selection coupled with the immensely knowledgeable staff brings the experience at Crouch End into its own." - Nathalie Nelles
