Ottolenghi Hampstead - (Near Camden, South East)

Shelley Fawcett Great menu specialising in small plates. Everything we ordered was delicious, especially the sea bass and millionaires potatoes. Save space as there’s a nice dessert menu too, the bread and butter pudding with homemade custard was fabulous. Really friendly staff, we will definitely go back.

Charlotte We love this neighbourhood gem. Proper handmade Italian pasta, traditional as well as unusual dishes - all outstanding! Even their amuse bouches and starters are so thoughtful and flavoursome… Extensive and inspiring wine list. Great for private events and they make very good cocktails, too. We are regulars now and frequently bump into fellow neighbours as well as celebrities…

E. Tegun Ulgener Absolutely an oasis in a middle of Hempstead. Highly recommended. Very good variety of food and amazing atmosphere with a very friendly staff. Just beautiful.

Philosopical Wolf Amazing Gastropub for Lunch Diner and special occasions, especially during hot British summer. Went there last August for friends Brithday dinner and it was amazing for a pub. The Steak was very tender and good portion size, the sause was a bit to strong for me but other wise very good. Went for the apple crumble for desert which I was not a fan off as it was very tart but the wine and cocktails made of for it, very good quality (coming for a bartender) I got their Amerreto Sour (my favourite) and it was smooth and creamy.

Mrs Mcellan Headed in for a quick late lunch and really loved the food. However I feel compelled to write this review as the service wasn’t great at all. It seemed they did not care much about my visit or explaining the menu to me, even after I mentioned I had never visited before and was confused about the ordering/payment process. No recommendations, no words exchanged when serving/leaving, not even a ‘Enjoy’ or ‘Thank you’. I can’t quite put my finger on it but it seemed like a really hostile and cold environment. I hoovered up my food in 10 minutes and left, asking my leftovers to simply be wrapped up. I suppose + points for fast food so I could leave quicker :( I have had friendlier service getting McDonald’s Drive Thru so I really expected more for a ‘Restaurant’ experience.

Tom Karlsson Had an amazing dinner, Paolo was extremely friendly and generous with his service. Portions are pretty large so no-one will leave this place feeling hungry. It is literally like visiting Italy, havent seen such authentic experience in London. Highely recommended!
