"In the Venn diagram of fans of Pixar's Ratatouille, readers of The Sunday Times, and admirers of Keith Floyd, Les 2 Garçons is firmly in the middle. It’s a pulsating maroon lighthouse that runs on comforting confit duck and Crouch End locals who require a drip of its vin rouge. Don’t be surprised to see the chipper chef come out to explain the blackboard, serve your escargots, and stick around for a chat. Your neighbouring table will also more than likely ask you how the onion soup is (it's wonderful) or whether that’s the duck (it is, and back off)." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna
