Café Paolo - (Near Camden, london)

Pat G Fantastic spot for an ale, some grub and a game in an old time setting. A few pubs are on site ready to quench your thirst. We sat in the old fashioned bar and ordered a fish & chips. Also ordered some cask ales. Looking forward to going back next time I’m in London.

Jezza I stumbled upon Peony Star by chance, and I was blown away by both the quality of the food and the exceptional service. The staff were an absolute delight, and the food was nothing short of outstanding. Although I was not sure what to expect at first, just a few bites were enough to win me over completely. Even something as simple as the egg fried rice was exquisite. I started with the dim sum assortment, which was beautifully made and full of flavour. Our lovely server kindly explained each piece to us, making the experience even more enjoyable. For mains, we ordered: Cantonese roasted duck Yeung Chow fried rice Honey roast pork Sichuan chilli crispy king prawn Egg fried rice with spring onion Not a single dish disappointed; they were all perfectly curated and bursting with flavour. My personal favourites were the dumplings and the honey roast pork, both of which stood out for their depth of taste and flawless execution. Between the warm and attentive service, the elegant décor, and the phenomenal food, Peony Star truly stands out. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu and enjoy another memorable dining experience. A must-visit! Quite possibly one of the finest Cantonese restaurants I’ve had the pleasure of visiting. Compliments to the chefs!!!

Lavi Avy Lovely atmosphere and great for group celebrations We recently celebrated a birthday at Nando’s with a group of 15 people, and overall it was a really nice experience. The atmosphere was amazing — lively, welcoming, and perfect for a special occasion. We had a wonderful birthday celebration, and everyone felt comfortable and enjoyed the time together. The parking spaces are good, but they were quite difficult to find because many people seemed to park there even if they weren’t visiting Nando’s. Still, once inside, everything was well organised. Food-wise, I personally found even the non-spicy chicken a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was the only one who had this issue. Everyone else in the group loved their meals, ate well, and some even ordered extra food to take home. The kids were especially excited and had a great time. Overall, a beautiful experience, great for families and larger groups. I would definitely recommend it for celebrations and gatherings.

Frazer Bennett What magical mystery these people weave. The smallest of kitchens gives up the largest of flavours. You may find this restaurant quite bijot in size, but I tell you the food, the welcome, and the atmosphere will not disappoint. Try the cocktails, and definitely have the pickles. As for the main courses, well, we are working our way through the entire menu. Chicken was a winner. As was the squash. Will update you further, dear reader, when we return. My final recommendation? This place gets booked up. I recommend you make TWO reservations, a month apart perhaps, because I guarantee you will want to come back!

Morne Gabriels After a bit of a walk from Battersea we stopped here for some brunch. Despite being a cool overcast day we were able to sit outside under heaters. Probably had the best eggs weve ever tasted. Simple poached eggs on sourdough was beautiful and avocado and poached eggs on cornbread with a chilli sauce was a light delight. A fresh English Bacchus white wine was a beautiful accompaniment. The staff were accommodating and helpful. The restaurants on the ground and upper floors look exquisite with its ambience and decor. I bet this place is an absolute hit in spring and summer time.

Ben Pateman Been to many Thai restaurants throughout London (I have a Thai partner), but this new addition to Hampstead is up there with the very best. Outstanding Weeping Tiger, and the staple Green Curry was as good as it gets. Pleasant ambience and service. Will definitely be back, and will drag a couple of my local friends with me. Highly recommended! *****
