Matthew's Kitchen is a family run seafood restaurant at 1288-1290 High Road in Whetstone. Fish and shellfish are sourced daily from Billingsgate Market, allowing the kitchen to build its regular menu and changing specials around freshness, sustainability and the best catch available for each service.
Oysters, ceviche, smoked mackerel pâté, octopus, scallops and tiger prawns provide a broad introduction to the sea. The house fish and shellfish soup offers a warming alternative, while sauces and accompaniments are prepared from scratch to support each ingredient without hiding its natural flavour.
Lobster, Dover sole, sea bass, monkfish and smoked haddock appear alongside classic fish and chips. A seafood mixed grill brings grilled sea bass, prawns, scallop and mussels together, while the shellfish platter for two creates a generous centrepiece for diners who want to compare several preparations.
A small selection of meat and vegetarian dishes gives mixed groups alternatives, including steak and spinach with ricotta ravioli. The set menu and daily blackboard create more concise ways to dine, while desserts, wine and cocktails help the relaxed family restaurant work equally well for an everyday dinner or a celebration.
