The House Finchley is a family run Italian and Mediterranean restaurant at 24 Ballards Lane, a short walk from Finchley Central station. Established in 2006, it combines a relaxed neighbourhood atmosphere with a menu that runs from breakfast and brunch to lunch and dinner. The informal dining room welcomes families, friends and local groups.
Morning dishes include eggs Florentine, eggs Royale, omelettes, a vegetarian breakfast, croque madame, muesli and pastries. Sandwiches, jacket potatoes and salads provide lighter choices later in the day. Starters range from bruschetta, houmous and grilled halloumi to calamari, mussels, smoked salmon and sharing platters.
Pasta covers tomato, bolognese, carbonara, pesto and seafood sauces, joined by homemade lasagne and risotto with chicken or seasonal vegetables. Pizza, lamb shank, veal Milanese, steak, mixed grill and chicken dishes add more substantial choices. Sea bass, cod, salmon and fish and chips give seafood a strong presence across the main courses.
Set lunch and dinner menus offer a concise route through the kitchen, while cakes, tiramisu and other desserts complete a longer meal. Coffee, beer and wine support both casual daytime visits and relaxed evenings. The breadth of the menu and warm service make The House a flexible local choice for anything from brunch to a family celebration.
