This possibly has to be the best cafe/bistro in whetstone. The food is really excellent especially the full English breakfasts and the escalope with caramelised red onion baguette. If you’re in whetstone and fancy a bite to eat or a great coffee then visit Michael and his friendly & efficient team. They will be very happy to see you. To add to this I had the prawn pil pil yesterday and OMG its amazing. Another fantastic lunch.

The only problem with Carpe Diem is finding a table! A top tip is to go after 2.30 or for an early dinner, when it tends to be quieter. Without exception, the salads are amazing - fresh ingredients, lots of texture and flavour. The burgers are always great too. I’ve been coming here for many years, since the days when Michael would leave the kitchen to ask how your food was. He’s too busy for that now but Maria and the waiting staff are always lively and friendly.

Had brunch with my wife and family yesterday. We had the shakshuka, a panini and other items too. Very impressed, delicious and arrived hot which is always a plus! It was also the best side salad I’ve ever eaten in my life! As we live local, we’ll be here regularly.

The food portion is so generous, and the quality of food is exceptional.
Highly recommend! The best place to eat in North London, Whetstone.
Also well done to the ladies serving guests, always kind and professional.
Thank you Carpe Diem

We had brunch at this local restaurant on the scorching 9th of September of UK! It was quite an experience. The portions were humongous, ensuring I left with a full and satisfied stomach. The service was decent, and the ambiance created a nice vibe throughout the meal. It's definitely worth a visit for a hearty brunch!
I will update this review once I try other mouth watering items on the menu.

The standout dish for me was their poached eggs served with a generous portion salmon and fried goat cheese. The eggs were perfectly poached, with the yolks oozing out in the most satisfying way when I cut into them. The fried goat cheese was a delightful surprise, offering a crispy and creamy contrast that paired wonderfully with the eggs. It's a combination I hadn't tried before, and it left a lasting impression.
