Harden's survey result
Summary
“Lovely coffee and great cakes” are the most obvious draw at this gemutlich outfit in Islington’s atmospheric Camden Passage (emphatically “not a place for dieters!”) – but “it’s much more than a coffee shop, it’s a very good Austrian restaurant too (check out the giant and very good Schnitzel)”. Top Tip – “the layered torte are worth the calories”.
Summary
This “very Austrian” café-restaurant in Islington’s atmospheric Camden Passage is “a bit different from the usual” for London, with a menu of “schnitzel, noodles, Tyrolean breakfast, daily soups and various sausages” – plus of course “great coffee and exceptional cakes”. It’s “not a place for dieters... but the layered torte is worth the calories!”.
Summary
“Lovely Austrian spot in the middle of Islington” – a fixture of cute Camden Passage for more than a decade – that’s perfect “when you fancy something a bit different”: “think good coffee and amazing cakes by day and gorgeous goulash and schnitzel by night”. “Interesting Austrian wine list, too”.
Summary
“Classic Austrian comfort food” is the order of the day at this Austrian-run all-day café, which opened in the City 20 years ago and moved to Islington’s Camden Passage in 2011. The menu runs from “great coffee and cakes”, via “delicious and decadent brunch” to “a choice of traditional main dishes, with very good veal in cream sauce or schnitzel and nice desserts”. Commendably, there is little pandering to local tastes: everything is as close as possible to what you might eat in Vienna.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
