Definitely a hidden gem! Me and my friend walking along and don’t know what to eat before our comedy show. So glad that we spotted the subtle sign post at hercules road! The food are lovely and reasonably priced. Will go again in the near future.
First time visiting Picholine tonight after walking past a few times and I am very pleased to have discovered this hidden gem. Absolutely delicious food, clearly cooked by a chef who knows his menu inside out. Everything cooked to perfection, well seasoned and portioned to satisfy 3 hungry diners. Couldn't fault a thing. Will definitely be back!
We loved this place! A cosy, family run (Dad & Daughter) Mediterranean restaurant. The service was very good, she was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was tasty! Big portion, packed with flavour and the overall bill wasn't expensive. I definitely recommend this place!
Wonderful food with amazing service. I've given four stars because I want to experience an evening meal there with the full ambiance. We both had grilled haloumi cheese, orange and watercress salad to start with, then Scallops and grilled squid.. Well presented and delicious. Tudo bem!! Thank you.
We had a great meal here and can thoroughly recommend Picholine, which deserves to be much busier than it was when we visited on a Sunday. Best kept secret in Upper Holloway? Perhaps. Best Mediterranean food on/around the Holloway Road? Definitely. Everything we had was delicious, and we look forward to returning soon.
Delicious food, so many options on menu it was hard to choose! The staff were lovely and service was excellent. Would definitely visit again.
Little gem in Holloway area with authentic Spanish food. Highly recommend.
I've eaten at this Mediterranean restaurant 2 Sundays in a row now and both times I found the food to be cooked and seasoned well, the service friendly and considerate. Perfect grilled fish, fresh salads, good chips and home made ice-cream and desserts - exactly the sort of food I crave in the heat. Sadly not very busy. The only reason for this is it doesn't benefit from passing trade, which is a shame because the location away from the traffic of Holloway Road makes it a great place to relax and unwind. There is a nice relaxed ambience and the space is clean and airy. I had the grilled sardines - perfect with a chilled glass of crisp white house wine. I look forward to coming back and trying some other dishes - if I can resist the sardines.
Superb local restaurant. We had the baby squid, mussels, lamb meatballs and an excellent Portuguese arroz dish to share.
We went for lunch so wasn’t busy but didn’t matter as we were well looked after and the food was better than expected. We will be going back and recommending to others.
Lovely restaurant, amazing food and great people! We had some very tasty starters including Patatas bravas and the humus platter and our shared main was a beautifully cooked paella that brought back memories from Spain. Well deserved 5 stars and will be coming back for sure!
