Camden, Islington & Marylebone Restaurants

Camden Bar & Kitchen, The

When a restaurant takes on the name of the street it is located in, one thinks of a friendly, neighbourhood site to enjoy a meal and Camden Bar and Kitchen has proved to be just that. In the afternoon it can be a warm and relaxing haven for those who'd like to escape the bustle of High Street, and as the sun begins to fade away into the horizon, the place morphs into a trendy cocktail bar.

Cantina Italia

The décor maybe slightly 'interesting' shall we say, but the food is certainly a degree above the average trat. The noise of the babbling punters will tell you how near you are to this popular place, and a Sardinian twist to both the cuisine and the wine list add interest.

Chapel, The

One of the original gastropubs, The Chapel, appropriately enough in Chapel Street NW1, with its stripped wood floors, wooden furniture and well-prepared food seems to provide a winning formula. This once old, dark English pub has now turned into a light, inspiring place that soothes the senses and the buzzy atmosphere brings along much joie de vivre.

Chilango

The Mexican translation of its name mostly sums up the vibe at Chilango, which loosely interprets as someone who has moved to the bright lights of Mexico City looking for fun and adventure. Get quickly into the rhythm as there's plenty of energy and vibrancy in evidence here, and not forgetting the colour, variety and taste of Mexican food.
