Fredericks has been established for over 40 years now, under the attentive ownership of Lou Segal, a popular figure in the catering world, and boasts a particularly upbeat feature - a licence to conduct marriage ceremonies! For many years it has been renowned as one of the better places - to eat - in North London, and has maintained a consistently high standard.

Signature dishes include chicken liver and foie gras parfait, toasted brioche and figs, and pork cutlet with black pudding, char-grilled apple, spinach and calvados jus. For the vegetarians it could be Parma ham, melon and rocket salad with lemon, honey and black pepper dressing. Their timeless desserts like lemon tart with raspberry sorbet or chocolate marquise go down a treat with their cosmopolitan clientele.

The interior at Fredericks is elegant, at the same time effusing a contemporary feel. The huge conservatory adds to the atmosphere, which aims to convey fine dining in a sophisticated environment, and they also have private rooms available.
