"As far as converted garage restaurants in north London go, Primeur is surely the must-visit (although its sibling Western’s Laundry may have something to say about it). It’s on a residential road between Clissold Park and Newington Green, and on those summer days when the Chin Chin is a-flowing, it’s one of the most enjoyable restaurants in London to lean back in. The food, European-style small plates, is the perfect accompaniment to a bottle of wine and a to-do list that reads: mañana. The ideal time to book is early evening, so you can eat jamon and gnudi in sunlight, and then cheese and meringue in candlelight." - Rianne Shlebak, Jake Oliver, Sinead Cranna
