Our story

From home cooking to Monsieur.

A contemporary Persian restaurant in North Finchley, built around great food, distinctive surroundings and lively entertainment.

My love for Persian food began at home, cooking for friends and family. From slow-cooked stews to kebabs straight from the grill, those meals were always about more than food — they were about bringing people together.

After years of working in London's restaurant scene, I wanted to create something of my own. Monsieur was born from that idea: a contemporary Persian restaurant where great food, distinctive surroundings and lively entertainment come together in one experience.

Our menu celebrates the Persian dishes many of us grew up with, while also welcoming guests who may be discovering these flavours for the first time.

Come together. Eat well.

Whether you join us for breakfast, lunch, dinner, cocktails or a weekend evening with live entertainment and DJs, the idea remains the same: come together, eat well and stay a little longer.

All of our food is halal, and the menu runs from Persian breakfast and fresh starters to charcoal grills, herb stews and desserts — with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options throughout.

Welcome to Monsieur.
