Located near Mornington Crescent, this vampire-themed eatery is taking the 80's nostalgia and general silliness up a notch.
Taking inspiration from the Frog Brothers' comic book store from the the original movie, the interiors here are vampy to the max - we're talking vintage film posters and low-hanging bats.
Split between a dining area, garden and basement absinthe bar, Croque Monsieur, the venue serves up the same great pizzas made with the restaurant's signature black charcoal base. Each baring a vampiric title, the pizzas feature an eclectic range of toppings, from chorizo, pepper and chilli to a vegan special of kale, tomatoes, caramelised shallots, lemon zest and oregano - a.k.a. 'Kale All Vampires'.
While the upstairs bar shakes up a range of quirky cocktails - such as the Necroni and rum and passionfruit-laced, Stranger Tings - downstairs it's all about the green stuff. From absinthe fountains on every table to a range of cocktails designed to suit all tastes, Croque Monsieur is one of North London's most curious bars. From its green tinge to its stained glass window, it's a fun gothic hideaway that even boasts a dressing up box.
