Bistro Laz is a friendly neighbourhood restaurant at 1 to 2 Highgate West Hill in Highgate. Its menu brings Mediterranean, Turkish and Italian influences together in a relaxed dining room that opens for breakfast and continues through lunch and dinner. The broad format makes it suitable for coffee and a light meal as well as a longer evening around the table.
Cold and hot starters are designed for sharing, with hummus, cacik, saksuka, kisir and olives alongside grilled halloumi, spicy Turkish sausage, filo parcels and calamari. Burrata and bruschetta add Italian flavours to the opening selection. Combining several dishes offers an easy introduction to the kitchen's range of vegetables, herbs, cheese and seafood.
Charcoal grills include chicken and lamb skewers, kofte, steak and a mixed grill served with rice or vegetables. Stone baked pizzas use fior di latte, while fresh pasta, risotto, seafood, salads, wraps and burgers extend the menu well beyond the grill. Vegetarian and vegan choices are clearly represented, and gluten free dishes can be requested.
Breakfast dishes, a children's menu and a substantial choice of sides help the restaurant work for different ages and times of day. Desserts and drinks provide an unhurried finish, whether guests have chosen a pizza or a table of shared meze. Bistro Laz combines generous choice with the warmth and informal hospitality of a long established Highgate local.
