London Camden Town Restaurant Guide

2019 Review: “Creative and intelligent” cooking wins nothing but high praise for this contemporary update of the traditional curry house, in Camden Town. It has a sister venue, Salaam Namaste, in Bloomsbury.

Vaguely Tyrolean, beamed decor is nobody’s idea of a Japanese restaurant at this slightly odd venture, near Mornington Crescent tube. No complaints about the outstanding value sushi and other fare though: “good and varied as ever, with many choices for Japanese drinks too, including sake”.

Veteran, family-run tapas bar, near Mornington Crescent, which garners consistent high praise for “home cooking of the kind you rarely find these days”. What’s more, there’s a “pleasant garden for outdoor eating in fine weather”.

2017 Review: Cecil B DeMille wouldn’t have produced a more eye-catching interior than this huge and “opulent” bar/restaurant by Camden Lock, with its lavish, imported, wood-carved decoration. The pan-Asian food is “well-presented and tasty” but critics say “massively expensive”.

Gordon Ramsay’s “beautiful” Regency tavern on the Camden Town corner of Regent’s Park, is a large venue incorporating both a big bar, plus a sizeable dining area and basement. It doesn’t receive a perfect scorecard from reporters, with some feedback describing it as “disappointing” or “overpriced”, but its ratings climbed more into the middle-ground this year.

A Camden Town cocktail and music venue also serving a range of traditional British pub food with modern, tapas-inspired bar snacks.
