"I 've been visiting Intrepid Fork for a few months since I first discovered it and became a big fan due to their delicious baked goods and drinks selection. I 've recommended them highly but my most recent experience has put me off it for good. I arrived to meet a friend and expected to just have cake and a drink, but when my friend arrived she informed me that they serve hot breakfast/brunch/lunch dishes too. We both ordered the cheesy brioche with bacon, expecting a french toast style slice of brioche with crispy bacon, but when the food arrived we were repulsed. Two halves of a clearly pre sliced brioche bun, barely toasted, topped with flaccid pale bacon (one piece per half) and worst of all a partially melted bright orange cheese single atop each piece of brioche. Yes, that 's right, the kind of fluorescent plastic cheese you get on roadside burgers. Tasteless and comes between two pieces of plastic. That was the choice of cheese for a £7 brunch dish of 'cheesy brioche '. I complained immediately and, while I said I would scrape the cheese off and eat the rest as I was starving, the waitress (without apologising) took my plate and returned it to the kitchen. No offer was made of a replacement meal, so as my friend decided to bite her tongue and eat her full meal (she regretted it), I was sat there with my grapefruit juice and my (albeit delicious) slice of marzipan filo, still hungry. On what planet is this type of cheese acceptable? Why was I not apologised to from a place I visit often? Why was a replacement dish not offered, or even suggested? To make matters worse, the man I assume to be the manager (who also didn 't apologise) began to root around beneath some shelves by our table which produced the most hideous smell of stagnant pond water and rotten flesh. Makes me worry about the cleanliness of the place as this was right near all the bread and cakes they have in the window. The smell was unbearable and we left. I did not pay for the breakfast, which luckily they didn 't attempt to get me to do. Sorry, Intrepid Fork, you 've lost a customer with me."

The pastries at this restaurant are always plentiful and the service is delightful. I have been here several times and the quality is always consistent.

Really good local cafe. Great service. The eggs benedict is really really nice. The breads are great, and the selection of cakes, buns and cookies are a real treat.

Great little cafe in Hornsey. Fabulous breads and pastries. Array of savoury dishes. Good coffee and big choice of drinks. Vegan options. I’m working my way through the menu. Voir le carte

The food at this restaurant is excellent, especially if you enjoy baked goods and Greek-inspired dishes. The staff is very friendly. Their breadsticks, spinach pie, and Greek cookies are delicious!

I too was once a great fan as their almond cake was amazing. But now the cakes are three days old covered in icing sugar. Also their pastries are also old and when heated taste like old socks. Not good.

Average food quality, but not environmentally-friendly. The bread is packaged in plastic wrap and they still use styrofoam containers, so not recommended for those who are conscious of their carbon footprint. Voir le carte

I take my four year old daughter in for lunch and we love it. I think the coffee is superb and everything we have had to eat has been really top quality. What really makes it for me though are the people who work there, genuinely lovely and really care about the food and service. Anywhere that makes homemade ice cream would get Milly's vote of course!!!

"A friend and I stumbled on to this neighbourhood restaurant by chance; no research, no booking, no expectations. We were then blown away by the quality of the food: wonderfully fresh fish, beautifully cooked. The service is also exemplary. I've always enjoyed calamari, but this was by far the best I've ever had: truly succulent and juicy. The mussels were almost as good, and the sea bream kept up the standard. The spiced quince with ice cream made a nice change from baclava in a Turkish restaurant (they still threw in some baclava). The owner, Tony, provides excellent recommendations — make sure you take them! He knows what's fresh that morning, and how his wife cooks it. The bill comes hand-written, and Tony forgot to include the wine (obviously I corrected him). I can't remember the last time a restaurant bill made a mistake in the customers' favour! No service charge is included, and it deserves a lot more than the usual 12.5%. This is a wonderful, old-fashioned restaurant, run by a charming old couple, committed to maintaining old-fashioned standards. The food is more than great and the prices more than reasonable. Service is personal, honest and responsive (providing Tony turns his hearing aid on). Tony warns you if anything you wanted was bought in, rather than home-made. Why don't unassuming but wonderful restaurants like this get Michelin stars?"
