The Green Cottage (Swiss Cottage)

• I was reluctant to chance it with a place I&rsquo
• Perhaps going in with low expectations enhanced the overall experience nevertheless I have to say the food was actually rather good
• The best dish by a distance is the steamed fish with ginger and spring onions whether it's delivery
• I tend to accompany this dish with a side of steamed rice or mixed vegetable
• The desert selection is rather disappointing it a choice between ice cream
• Banana fritters and pancake with red bean paste
• The ice cream is ok but it&rsquo
• The atmosphere is surprisingly friendly
• The decor and interiors of the restaurant are nothing to rave about very simple and basic
• Juicy and covered with a delicious sauce
• Green Cottage is a high quality Chinese restaurant in the middle of Finchley road
• From the outside it doesn't look like much however walking into the restaurant the decor is simple yet elegant
• It doesn't look like any other random Chinese restaurant and the food is quite unique as well
• You won't see anything on the menu that you haven't seen before but the taste of the food is simply spectacular
• I ordered the beef with black pepper sauce with rice
• The Prawn toast was also a great quality The service was professional and you could tell that the restaurant was a family restaurant which I really liked as well
• The restaurant looks very small but once you enter there is sufficient space and the decor is very nice
• We sat down in one of the tables facing the wall or rather the rear of the restaurant but the service still was considerably good
• Well everything was lip smacking
• Baked spare ribs with spiced salt and chili and deep fried baby squid with salt and chilli for starters
• The spare ribs with the sauce was simply outstanding
• ( The baby squid too was exceptional
• The crunchy texture went very well with the added flavors
• Baked prawns with salt and chilli
• I would certainly recommend baked prawns with salt and chilli very highly amongst all the main dishes
• I must say that the egg fried rice could have been a little more salty than what it was because to me it seemed that they had forgotten to put salt altogether
• Green Cottage is along the Finchley Road
• ) It is the best place to get roast dishes outside of the two main Chinese restaurant areas in London
• Perhaps that is why it is always so popular and packed
• I have been going to the restaurant for several years but went there with my 7 month old for the first time today
• They didn't have a high chair so I was feeding my baby in her car seat
• Seeing that the waiter serving me made a face and was extremely irritated
• I couldn't stop myself at his irritation and said that she was a baby and couldn't help but drop her toy and that there was no need to make that face
• I told him that it wasn't the way to deal with babies and he told me that if I had a problem I should not eat there and leave instead
• There are several other child friendly restaurants in the area so my advice to parents is to avoid this one
• I have never had a problem with their high quality cooking
• I'm a jamaican who loves eating with chop sticks
• He said that there was nothing wrong with the food
• He refused to acknowledge that anything was hard or old
• Seemed to suggest that there was something wrong with us
• All the food requested is very well seasoned
