What a delightful discovery! We saw this pub mentioned on TikTok and decided to give it a try and we were not disappointed! As soon as you’re seated you’re served an adorable plate of fluffy brioche buns with salted butter with parsley. The food was fantastic, delicious and varied. Service attentive and friendly. The pub itself has retained a lot of original structure, rooms and design but clearly really well maintained. My only small feedback would be the fish and chips where the fish tasted a bit too fried as the batter was very dark and crusty. The fish was fresh and tasty though.

Stumbled across this place on after an afternoon walk round Hampstead on my birthday and absolutely LOVED it, mainly due to the friendly staff. Katya was excellent and made such a fuss of our dog, bringing him lots of treats which he loved. Didn’t catch the other man’s name who was working but he was brilliant too. They both made us feel so welcome. We shared a few nibbles and had a couple of drinks, enjoying the great playlist and atmosphere. Highly recommend and will definitely go back!

I was a little skeptical of my reservation after reading some reviews the day before, I am so glad I did not cancel my reservation! I was there for lunch celebrating my birthday and I can honestly say it was an amazing experience! the food was great and very tasty, the portions were great, not small at all and the service was lovely!  this pub is beautiful, has a great vibe and I cannot wait to visit again! Thank you!

Super lovely pub! The Sunday roast wasn’t what it was a few years ago, and they don’t let you choose a temp on the burger. Well done only. Flavors were lacking but it’s an idyllic pub. Best sticky toffee pudding I’ve ever had though

Such a beautiful restaurant pub. Bookings are highly recommended as it gets busy for Sunday roast. We went for our doggies birthday on remembrance Sunday and enjoyed a beef and hog roast. The staff are very attentive and even prepared a birthday plate for our doggo. 🎂🐶🍖🐩

Exceptional Dining Experience at Gaucho – A Memorable Evening Thanks to Chad and Team Three weeks ago, after a disappointing visit to Gaucho, we reached out to management to address our concerns. The response we received was both swift and thoughtful, resulting in an invitation to return for a meal. This time, I had the pleasure of taking my sister and our mother for her very first steak dining experience—and what an experience it was! From the moment we arrived, the front-of-house team welcomed us warmly. The service throughout the evening was nothing short of outstanding. Special recognition goes to Chad, the restaurant manager, whose attention to detail and genuine care for our comfort made all the difference. He checked in regularly to ensure we were enjoying our evening, always with a professional yet warm demeanor that set the tone for an exceptional meal. We started with a selection of starters, including the scallops, which were a true highlight. The quality, taste, and presentation were impeccable, leaving my mother amazed. The Winter Rum cocktail was another standout—rich, warming, and perfectly balanced. When it came to the mains, each of us chose a different steak, and they did not disappoint. My mother, who was initially hesitant, was absolutely thrilled. She declared it the best steak she had ever eaten, a sentiment that truly made our evening special. Seeing her joy brought immense satisfaction to us as a family. Daniella, another manager, was equally delightful. Her bubbly personality and ability to engage in thoughtful conversation added a personal touch to the experience. It’s clear that Gaucho is fortunate to have such dedicated individuals on their team. Overall, the combination of exceptional service, exquisite food, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere created a dining experience we won’t soon forget. Chad and his team went above and beyond, turning what began as a disappointing experience into one of our most memorable evenings. We’re already looking forward to our next visit. If you’re planning a trip to Gaucho Hampstead, I highly recommend the scallops / steaks and the Winter Rum—you won’t regret it!

Where to start. We cannot praise this restaurant and their staff enough. We dined with our 9 month old baby and also our dog. The staff pulled out all the stops for us and they couldn’t do enough. We felt special the moment we walked in, right through to leaving. The food was incredible and came through piping hot. The sommelier talked us through the wine list and recommended an incredible red to compliment our food. We would like to thank all the staff as they went above and beyond. We told the staff it was our dog’s 4 year birthday; to which they brought out a lit candle and some dog treats. Our dog was over the moon! A completely unexpected surprise and gesture. Gaucho has certainly got the right idea being dog-friendly; as we will be telling all of our friends about this and feel we’re able to return without worrying about child and dog care. On top of this, your wonderful sommelier could see that our daughter was getting a little restless as our food arrived, to which she then occupied her so that we could eat our meal. Our baby then went straight down to sleep in her pushchair after cuddles and a tour of the restaurant. You gave two new parents more than just a rare night out as a couple; you made it completely stress-free and gold-tier standard. We’re looking forward to returning again soon.

Fantastic!!! We were lucky to get a free two course lunch and it was brilliant, we would go back for the set lunch on any day now. Firstly we must mention the level of service we received was the same as all other diners, we really appreciate that. Secondly the food was brilliant. For starters my partner had the beef Tatar taco and I had the prawns ..... amazing flavour and clean tasting. For mains we both had the rump stake again, both steaks were cooked perfectly to how we asked, the chips and sauce on the side was brilliant. We wanted to also point out the quality of the steak again lovely, no gristle or fat. The restaurant, bathrooms and our table was clean and comfortable. Every member of staff that we walked past on our way out say bye as well ... this was a really nice touch, thank you every one. Lovely branch of Gaucho's we we defiantly be coming back here!!!!

Food: The sides and the desserts were good. Between the five of us we ordered all of the sides so we were able to try them all. The causa in particular was a highlight. The tres leches with pears and the fried steaks were also good but unfortunately what did miss the mark was the steak itself, which just didn't do it for me. Service: Really good for the most part, the servers were attentive most of the time despite busier service. Atmosphere: it was pretty, we got a good seat and most diners looked like they were enjoying themselves.

Having tried every single item of the 30 year special menu of Gaucho at Hampstead and the Piccadilly branches over 48hrs I wanted to share a particular review of the Hampstead location. The food was delicious 🤤, but what made the experience enjoyable was the staff. We had an excellent waitress who simply brilliant and put up with our large party. Funny and attentive, extremely knowledgeable too. The food was delicious as expected and their steaks brilliant. Hampstead in particular was great with the space in the restaurant and even the welcoming doggy bowls outside.

We recently visited Everyman Hampstead for the first time, and having been to other Everyman cinemas before, we can confidently say this is the best one so far. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the décor gave it a warm, inviting feel. We watched our film in the main screen, which has a theatre-like setup, making the experience even more special. Unlike other Everyman cinemas, this one offers extra space between attendees, so you never feel crowded or like someone is invading your personal space. It’s a small but significant detail that enhances comfort. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, adding to the overall experience. A thoughtful touch we appreciated was that when ordering from our seats, the staff offered tap water without any pressure to buy drinks. It’s a small gesture, but it shows they genuinely care about the customer experience rather than just maximising sales. The different lounges are also a great feature, allowing you to relax while waiting. The audience was generally polite and respectful, which is probably helped by the fact that Hampstead is a more upmarket area. One thing Everyman does consistently well across all their locations is the short pre-film speech with instructions, which adds a personal touch compared to commercial cinemas. While tickets are more expensive, it’s absolutely worth it—especially for a film you’re really excited about. It’s also a perfect spot for a date night or an evening out. Highly recommended!

I absolutely love the Everyman Hampstead! There's nothing quite like snuggling into a sofa with a glass of wine and a juicy burger while getting lost in a film. It's pure indulgence and my go-to for a perfect movie night.
Roger Schaffeler - 2 months ago

Had an amazing night seeing Bridget Jones. The food was excellent, and what a treat to be able to sit in sofas while having dinner watching a film! We also had a lovely server called Nea if I remember correctly. She walked us through the wine selection and gave an excellent bottle.

Deadpool & Wolverine. Multiplex against Everyman. The decision was made in favour of the Everyman Hamstead. A beautiful little cinema that can't be beat for its atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff. It makes you feel welcome and valued - something that the big screen of a multiplex can hardly replace. The attention to detail and personal service makes a visit to the cinema a very special experience. Highly recommended! Special thanks to the member of the staff who put the icing on the cake.

Authentic and reasonably priced! We started off with the sake tasting. Then we moved to eel nigiri and some tuna rolls. The grilled set was delicious! I would probably order a different set next time not because this one was bad, but because it was so good I want to see how good the other ones are! After all our food, they also gave us little wet napkins to wipe off our hands. The service is very quick and nice.
Stephanie Hoang - 2 weeks ago

Lovely and authentic spot, every fish was great. The only regret I have is that I did not come even more hungry so I could have more. The menu has something for everyone: from sushi to rice dishes to lunch mains to grill to soup. Would recommend trying a sake flight - all three samples in the tasting were delicious and interesting.

This is a great izakaya restaurant. Very attentive staff, quick service, and a vibrant atmosphere. I got miso soup, the sashimi set, grilled skewers, and the pancakes as dessert. The sashimi set was very good and the grilled skewers were tasty and flavourful

This is one of mine and my partner’s favourite restaurants. It has a very special place in our hearts. We happened upon Villa Bianca spontaneously on our first visit; and loved it so much that we returned for our anniversary meal. It is absolutely exceptional. The service strikes the perfect balance between warm and professional; attentive and composed. The staff know their stuff, and are excellent at their jobs. The atmosphere is special; there is a lovely buzz in the place that feels both one of a refined fine-dining establishment, and also of somewhere that is loved by locals. Most important of all, the food and drink is delicious. I have had a range of dishes there now, as has my partner, and they are all wonderful; executed with the lightness of touch of a top, top restaurant; whilst remaining substantial in size, hearty and satisfying. Thank you, Villa Bianca - we love you!!

Located in an alley off the high street is a quaint little Italian restaurant named La Villa Bianca. The simple yet classy black and white contemporary interiors mimic the quality of food here. Every single dish had a light fruity flavour showcasing the authenticity of the ingredients themselves. The mushroom risotto was a clear standout, with the delicate flavour of the mushrooms caressing the stock drenched perfectly cooked rice. The same can be said of the excellent lobster pasta with the sweet taste of cherry tomatos contrasted only by the slight briny taste of the lobster, which was unmistakably a sign of its freshness. A lovely spot for a casual lunch, I will be back.

We had a lovely early dinner on Saturday for a friend’s birthday. The food was incredible, and the service was impeccable. The staff had a great sense of humour, and it felt like you were on holiday. I highly recommend the specials :)

We stumbled across this place during a regular walk around in Hampstead, living locally. They accommodated us having not booked a table and were very welcoming. We have learnt how to taste if the food is authentic italian with respective to pasta, having visited italy and eaten in local authentic restaurants regularly. We purchased 2 tomato spaghetti (Spaghetti Napoli) dishes costing a total of £31.39 and it was worth the money. Great value for money. The food tasted really nice. Not exactly how it was in Italy, however not too far away and definitely better than Most in London. Great service, great location, great food. I would come back and recommend visiting.

One of my favourite places to visit in North London, typical up market Italian with outstanding service. We had a wonderful table outside with the glorious sunshine. The wine list is superb for such a little restaurant. It's just a little walk off the main road. As you can see from the photos the food is superb, amazing flavour profiles that compliment each other perfectly. Then mains we shared the Tomahawk it was rendered to perfection and cooked medium rare. We weren't expecting the additions of frites and roasted vegetables. The live piano finished the experience of for us. We will be back very soon, it was an experience we won't forget.

A wonderful restaurant with delicious food and excellent service. I had the three-course lunch menu, which was both tasty and generously portioned. Highly recommend!
Pixie Dixie - a week ago

Absolutely perfect dining out .... except for..... The crazily loud, schizophrenic music which couldn't decide whether it was a forlorn 90s teenager, a 6 year old child or a headbanging geezer having a mid life crisis. 🎶 Michael Jackson's thrilling evil laugh reverberated off our excellent starters of sticky bau buns, crispy duck spring rolls and delectable toasted gyoza 🥟🥟 Our tangy tasty cocktails defied gravity as we awaited our mains. I couldn't hear my husband's conversation but at least my passion fruit mocktail was wicked. Our mains were served to the miserable, booming tones of Keane. The ramen broth was exceptional and the noodles were chewy and bouncy. I think the shredded duck was enjoyed by the husband but it's hard to tell as he was crying into somewhere only he knew. At this moment, we did ask the consistently attentive waitress to turn the music down which she did, meaning we were able to stay for dessert. I was at the point to leave because I could no longer bear to sit in this bizarre night club, despite the decor being so pretty and tastefully done. Please, Management, consider playing some nice background Oriental music to fit your theme! You have flawless Asian food, excellent decorations and little pleasing touches (such as the lanterns and fortune cookies) and your staff were so helpful in advising us and were attentive throughout. Food is highly recommended but I certainly couldn't return if that racket was still on 😂

Excellent food. Went for lunch and tried the lunch menu. Surprised about the actual quantity - fairly large for one person which was excellent value for money and I liked the options that they had for the set lunch menu. The Nasi goreng was delicious but not very spicy - thought it would be more spicy but that’s okay. Did not like the bang bang cauliflower - it was just deep fried breaded cauliflower (nothing unique). Dim sum was tasty as well!

I have went to this place couple of times. And food here was delicious 🤤 every time I came the portions are big u will be cool for ages. Service is quick but the waiter that was serving us called us girls “what can I get u girls” or “can I get u anything else girls” and then when I asked for a bill he winked at me. It was pretty weird. I really recommend u this place it’s very yum 😋

I came here on one other occasion before. I wasn’t necessarily impressed by my mango and chicken salad I had previously and the siu mai, but I came back as my housemate was eager to try their pad Thai. This restaurant gave me a Pan-Asian sort of impression with its mixture of East and South East Asia options. To my housemate’s dismay, she wasn’t able to get the pad Thai as they didn’t offer a vegetarian option. Whilst it did have a tofu option, it wasn’t marked as vegetarian since it still contained fish sauce. Fortunately, the lady who served us warned her as she came to ordering it. I went for the massamam lamb curry served with egg noodles. Curry was delightful and packed with a lot of umami flavour to which I enjoyed, but didn’t have at least a slightly spicy kick. Good portion of meat. Egg noodles were up to standards Then comes the desserts. Pandan crème brûlée was unique and so we tried that. Pandan flavour was hinted at, though sweet for the most part. Whilst we enjoyed the Hong Kong waffle, the waffle itself was hard to slice into as it was not fresh so that was the disappointing part. Overall a decent experience with friendly service. I would say, they should include vegetarian options for their set lunch menu. Decent Asian food, but not super authentic.

The cafe is a charming and cozy spot that truly stands out. The outdoor seating adds a relaxed and inviting vibe, perfect for soaking up the neighborhood's atmosphere. Our server, Kasha, was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. We tried the shakshuka, which was elevated by the addition of tahini sauce, giving it a unique and delicious twist. On Kasha’s recommendation, we also indulged in their cinnamon bun, which was perfectly flaky and absolutely delightful. Overall, this café is a gem – great food, warm service, and a lovely ambiance. I’d happily come back again!

Went on a Sunday afternoon with my dog and it was heaving! Even so staff were welcoming and friendly and I got a toastie to go. Staff kindly bagged it up as they could see I had my hands full with the coffee and lead! Would love to sit in when it’s quieter as they are 🐾 friendly ☺️

This place is an absolute gem! ✨ Great atmosphere, consistently good coffee and other beverages, delicious food. I highly recommend: - Scrambled eggs on sourdough - Carrot Cake - Red Leicester Cheese Toastie Register at the door to be added to the list. Be prepared to wait, especially during the weekend or on a sunny day. Service is usually very kind but can be slow on busy days.

Tried Gail’s for the first time to see if it’s worth the hype. The have a wide range of products all of which look good - the cheese and chive scone if warm like I had was so good and the latte was one of the nicest though could have been hotter. Sadly though it was the server who was as miserable as sin this morning - appreciate maybe having other issues but if I wanted sour cream with my latter I would have asked for it!
Christian Ellwood - 2 weeks ago

Gails is truly a gem among coffee shops, especially the one in Hampstead village. The selection of pastries is remarkable, and everything you order comes from a high-standard bakery. I absolutely adore the cheese twists and scones. Gails is an essential destination that you shouldn't miss. .

Standard Gail's. Smaller than some. Had some original treats on show that looked like they were worth a try (pistachio, lemon and rose cake). We bought hot cross buns. Staff were kind. Loads of types of bread too, including plant based sourdough.

Really good for brunch or breakfast. It gets crowded on the weekends and you have to sit outside, I'm a smoker so I don't care, but if the weather is not good... Sucks! Hahahhahaha. Other than that very friendly service and really good coffee and food.

London has a plague of restaurants not knowing if they should cater to customers or Deliveroo drivers. Sadly, this is the latter. Food was good, but I don’t recommend going in person. £34 for one roll and a medium size bowl of Udon isn’t worth it, when you can have similar from Sushi Co in the comfort of your own home for half the price.
Jon Prince - a month ago

Its half retail shop and half restaurant with bar tables and takeaway. There are some tables outside too. We ordered. Tofu curry with brown rice (13.5+1.5 for brown rice) and a chirashi bowl (18.8) slices of fish is much smaller than other restaurants and less variety. The taste is average and probably prices are affected by the area. Portions could be bigger. Service charge of 12.5%

Really delightful and authentic sushi in the hearts of Hampstead, just a minute walk from the station! The ingredients are super fresh and seared salmon belly & seared scallop are very delicious. The miso soup is great too! Easily one of the best Japanese food in London :) Brown rice version is available as well - really healthy!
Yiting Fan - a year ago

If you're on the hunt for truly authentic Japanese sushi in London, look no further than Sushi Hana. This hidden gem offers 100% genuine Japanese sushi, made fresh daily with the finest ingredients. The flavours are exceptional, and every bite transports you straight to Japan. What makes it even more special? The staff are all Japanese, adding that extra touch of authenticity to your dining experience. Sushi Hana is my personal go-to spot, and once you’ve been, it’s easy to see why. If you want the real deal, this is the place to be.

As a local who hasn't visited before I highly recommend this addition to the neighbourhood, it was patently obvious I hadn't a clue how to order a takeaway on their 'kiosk/display ' & instantly the charming 'Antoinette' patiently explained how to search the menu & choose. I did & our dishes appeared promptly & we were gifted additional sauces etc . The food proved to be as delightful as the service . Thank you ..we'll be back .🖖
