Bradleys in Camden

The food here is simply delicious. I struggle to find a Michelin star restaurant than can match Bradley's - if you enjoy French cuisine. I highly recommend the duck, the dauphinoise potatoes - and the rhubarb martini is exquisite! (And I don't even like rhubarb!) It is just beautifully cooked and presented. Oh, and don't even get me started on their souffle! I would give a four for atmosphere because although it is a lovely restaurant I find it a little chilly temperature-wise but you soon warm up once you're eating! Overall, definitely 5 star!

Wonderful local independent restaurant. Perfect for pre-theatre. Stand-out dish was goose breast, with red cabbage, roast parsnips and dauphinoise potatoes. Attentive service. Good half bottle selection if your dining partner isn't drinking. One star off only for having to ask to turn the heating up on a cold day.

Great food, perfect for a pre-dinner meal. Staff were really attentive and had us all finished ready to take our seats.

Great place for pre-theatre dinner before Hampstead Theatre. Really tasty food and lovely, helpful staff.

Delicious food and excellent service, highly recommended

El mejor restaurante de la zona - una visita obligada! La comida y el servicio es excelente. Siempre es un placer visitarlo. Grandes menús de almuerzo con precios razonables.

Great food and kind servers. The food and the dessert were a 10 out of 10. This is one of the best restaurants I have been to.

Hoy asistí a una función privada. Desde el momento en que llegué, me di cuenta de que esto iba a ser perfecto, y tenía razón. Personal agradable, profesional, inteligente y agradable. La comida era el cielo en un plato, salado y dulce. Ambiente cómodo. Una experiencia realmente maravillosa. Recomiendo encarecidamente ir aquí.

Went with friends to check this place in our neighborhood and were fairly pleased. Some of the dishes are top class while others are of good quality. Wine list is solid. Service is good and would've been rated 5 if we did not get reminded at least 10 times how busy our waiter was and hope difficult it was for him to keep up with all the orders - which he did magnificently)

We came here for Sunday lunch. I liked everything about it. Nice decor, great menu, food and service. I had the lamb which was delicious. Others enjoyed the roast beef and the schnitzel. It was a friend's birthday and they made a lovely birthday dessert for her. We will be back!

Excellent cuisine, great service, fabulous atmosphere

Un excelente almuerzo el día 25 , nos abrieron el restaurante aunque fue durante su descanso previo al servicio nocturno , ya que íbamos al estadio de Wembley para un concierto . La comida y el servicio eran excepcionales, espero volver la próxima vez que esté en Londres. Ann & Sara

Highly recommend this small restaurant which consistently delivers on great food quality with very good value for money & excellent service from front-of-house (context: I have been several times over the past 5 months as close to my hotel for work)

Un restaurante increíble con comida fabulosa y excelente servicio y un gran ambiente Tenía el menú establecido que era delicioso - el bacalao era excelente

We went for the set menu, which was excellent Very attentive staff as well.

Wonderful dining experience. I had the set menu, and I will go again to try other dishes.

Excellent lunch, spoiled rather by a rather surly, self-important waiter. Would prefer to return on his day off!

Regalo de cumpleaños pre teatro. Magnífico como siempre - tuve el schnitzel holstein, repetición: tan sublime como siempre, el mejor 👌. Es el corte. Mamá tenía la lubina, calabacín flor tempura &tc. De nuevo, excelente. Un vaso de casa 🍷 cada uno y fuera al teatro. Oh, los rollos, especialmente los de oliva, más allá. Y la mantequilla también 😋. Simon & team, un placer absoluto 🙏. Gracias xxx

Excellent food and wide variety of choice. Very good service. Wine excellent. Very much recommended.

We’ve been going to Bradley’s restaurant for 30 years. Our recent experience was as always fabulous. The fish soup and twice baked soufflé are favourites , all the mains are flavourful and beautifully presented, as are the desserts which rival the top restaurants in finesse. My favourite is the dessert soufflé though none disappoint. Chef/owner Simon should be congratulated on producing consistently delicious food - unpretentious, professional service- and excellent value.

This is one of my favourite restaurants. I've booked another reservation for Sunday lunch with friends.

Second time dining at this restaurant and enjoyed it very much both times. It’s not inexpensive but all things considered it’s good value for money especially the pre/post theatre set menu. Seating is quite comfortable and it’s not especially noisy both of which suggest they have made investments in their customers’ comfort and overall experience. Will very likely go back again.

I had the Sunday menu here with fry.

Best meal we have had in a long time! Fish was perfect! Great for a pre theatre meal.

We found this place after a visit to Hampstead theatre. We had the set menu which was lovely. The staff were friendly and efficient. We will be back.

Our male server was super attentive and conversational, and the food was delicious and decadent. Highly recommend the berry hibiscus tea 🥰

Great little find , fantastic pre theatre menu

Lovely location in Swiss Cottage near Hampstead Theatre. Nice menu and good service overall with a nice ambience. We had the set 3 course dinner at £40 each, and this surprised all of us as it was actually very good and certainly not that inferior to the a la carte menu choices. We had fish soup, Schnitzel, and creme brulee and cheese combinations. The only word of advice here is do not book a table at 730pm as we had to wait for the pre theatre crowd to leave the restaurant before we could sit down and we had to wait for at least 25 minutes so I suggest booking at 8pm. This would have been 5* overall if it wasn't for the issue of the long wait at the beginnig AND the attitude of the Manager, who was obviously rather stressed, as he was very rude to his staff and didn't seem to mind shouting at them in front of customers. I found this rather uncomfortable and completely unacceptable. Recommended for the food alone, and as long as the manager is not feeling stressed, you will have an amazing meal and a surprisingly reasonable final bill.

Marked down as we were put on bench seats that were too close to the table. Very uncomfortable. Also the cheese was poor. Otherwise very good.

Great French food and drinks. I had a steak which was cooked to perfection. The Congac was a very nice surprise,

Went for Sunday Lunch , awful service , bland food and not inexpensive .dont be fooled Don’t go . Relying on past glories .Big Mac and chips would have been preferable to this .

We celebrated my husband's birthday here and the evening was a great success. The food was delicious and each table was served together, the service was excellent, the care taken with 'fussy eaters' was exemplary and it was a 5-star experience. This was confirmed by all our friends the following day. Simon the owner could not have been more helpful and more professional.

We went for the really very good value set meal before the Hampstead theatre - probably like everyone else there at 5.30 on a Thursday just before Christmas. We would happily have eaten either option for both courses. I managed to have chestnuts for every course - a win in my book. Delicious bread to start with and then an ok chestnut and mushroom soup with a delicious mushroom pastry alongside. But the real triumph was the confit of duck with parsnip and savoy cabbage and a dark sauce. Plus we ordered extra sprouts and chestnuts and potatoes on the side. It was a delicious combination of tastes and textures: quite sweet in the parsnip and duck but the sprouts cut it. Desserts were fine: more chestnuts on the meringue and husband enjoyed raspberry creme brûlée. All that for £30 a head plus sides and Prosecco seemed a good deal to me and we would go back like a shot. The full menu is very much pricier but did look good

Surprised this restaurant is not on the Michelin Guide yet but I am sure it will soon. Perfect presentation of dishes and incredibly tasty. They have really mastered the fusion between French and British cuisine. Staff are absolutely lovely and super efficient too. Selection of wine and champagne is fabulous which is much appreciated. Finally, this is a dog friendly restaurant and they carefully select a table for you so that you and your pooch are comfortable without disturbing any customers that might not appreciate dogs. Bradley's staff: thank you for making our Friday nights always special, Sarah and Pamela

The restaurant is perfectly situated within a few yards of the Hampstead Theatre and the clientele, like us, were mostly going there. The early meal was served efficiently without the usual panic of having to rush the last course.. The choice of food was interesting and we both enjoyed the food that we ordered. Certainly somewhere that warrants a return visit.

Enjoyed an excellent pre theatre meal. The set menu food was very good and between us we had both the starters and mains - butternut squash soup and gravlax with beetroot followed by rump of lamb and hake.All the dishes were well prepared and presented. To accompany our food we enjoyed a very good French Pinot Noir. My only gripe was that for reasons that escaped me the head waiter would not serve me any bread until we had ordered notwithstanding that my guest arrived late and I had already ordered and was drinking our wine!

Very convenient to the Hampstead Theatre but because of roadworks we were 20 minutes late for our reservation. They were not too happy about that and were not very welcoming. The food was tasty and nicely served but the waiter had a bad cold and kept blowing his nose between servings. Wouldn't really recommend unless you really needed a pre-theatre dinner very close to the theatre.

We’ve been dining here for decades. It’s always been an excellent, well priced neighbourhood restaurant with good food and excellent abstract artwork on the walls (apparently made by the owner). What’s changed? We’ve been twice this year, in February and November. The food and value are the same but the atmosphere is …toxic. The waiting staff are rushed, rude and frankly out of control. Any semblance of the happy environment conducive to an enjoyable meal experience is completely absent. From having to beg the waiting staff to switch of the max air conditioning on a cold February night (because ‘we’re hot from rushing around’) to being attacked for arriving 15 minutes late (‘you should have been here at 1730. Its 1745. We’ve cancelled your reservation’) it’s all…hostile. I’m not sure that the Bradley’s are ever in the restaurant. . Perhaps the owners will read this and consider improving the service team? I hope so.

My local restaurant. Excellent food and good value for what you are getting. Very dog friendly which is somewhat unexpected but very appreciated. I'm lucky to have this on the doorstep.

Went for a pre Theatre meal on Saturday evening as we have done many times over the years. Usually the restaurant is full this time less than half full. The choice of food via the fixed price menus very good. Soup and soufflé for starter excellent. Schnitzel also good but my wife’s lamb dish poor really stringy.Deserts ok, Big issue was restaurant did not appear to have much heating on quite a cold damp evening. Neither of us felt comfortable.. This was confirmed by comments made by fellow diners we spoke to at the theatre who said this would be a factor in deciding whether to eat at Bradley’s the next time they went to Hampstead Theatre.

We had a dinner as a family. I felt that the food was prepared with an emphasis on the original flavors of the ingredients. Dishes are finely and nicely decorated. Staffs are very friendly.

Reliably excellent food and friendly staff.

Good food, nice presentation, a little expensive but worth it for a special occasion. Our lunch would have been perfect except for bizarrely grumpy service which spoiled it slightly.

The restaurant is run very well. The MD is just friendly enough not to make it off putting. Perfect balance of hospitality. I opted for the set menu. The food arrived at the right temperature and was perfectly seasoned. I think it was the first time when I didn’t have to ask for wait and pepper in a restaurant. Definitely deserving of the awards it won. Highly recommend.

We always enjoy the food at Bradley’s. Highly recommended.

So, 12.15pm & the sun is shining. We sat at the new outdoor terrace (streetery) shaded by fresh plants & umbrellas. Relaxing, chatting... A bottle of water, mini breads & of course the excellent Bradley's butter... We started with the most delicious croquettes- a soft, cheesy bechamel with the most delicious pea puree, fried & topped with a saracha-esque mayo. I didn't read the menu - hope my interpretation is correct? My colleague had the duck/ peach salad (main size) & I had the caesar. Both superb. As a caesar expert (!!), I loved the fact the baby anchovies were on the plate. The chicken breast was sooo succulent, fresh, tasty. Had to he organic? Anyways, the mains beyond. One Peronni & two coffees (they had my skinny milk, thank you). A super light menu oftion addition & superbly executed. And great value, too.

Excellent, delicious food (we had the set menu). Great value. It was a little quiet at lunchtime but I’ve been before in the evening and there is a nice atmosphere and a super little garden. A great neighbourhood restaurant and a real gem

I went for dinner with two cousins. We had a delicious meal and some very nice red wine. There were few people in the restaurant and so it was a bit somber, but the waiter was very helpful and the owner(?) Maitre d' was friendly and good. Definitely worth a visit.

Bradley’s is one of my favourite places to lunch. This visit I had the latest version of the cuttlefish starter, this time with roasted peppers and sobrasada – it looked fantastic and tasted even better. For a main course, I had the bourride with aromatic vegetables – the fish cooking here is always excellent and the bourride did not disappoint, a rare treat. The roasted peaches finished things off very nicely. Alongside the well-designed dishes, excellent cooking and great presentation, the friendly and professional service, a well-made Manhattan, and good wine pairings all made for another relaxing experience – will be back soon!

Such a beautiful place!!! I will 100% be back! 1. Food: absolutely stunning food, at fair prices. Every single dish was perfect (even the bread!). The flavours were delicate, the portions were fair. 10/10! 2. Service: 2 lovely waiters, very knowledgeable and kind, explained the menu super well. We even got a nice little surprise with dessert as we recently got married ♥️ Great service! 3. The place: beautiful restaurant, lovely lush garden at the back - stunning! 4. Price: not a cheap restaurant, we had a £40pp Sunday lunch menu, but it’s fairly priced for the quality of the food!

Usually go pre-theatre. Went after theatre instead last week also greatly enjoyed it. Had the asparagus and the crab salad, utterly delicious.

Excellent food with great care over the ingredients in a buzzy atmosphere. We were the only diners when we arrived (it was early) , but the restaurant filled fast. The staff were working very hard and were great. We were very happy with all the choices of food we made and particularly impressed with the dauphinoise potatoes. The cooking of the lamb was spot-on. The range of wines at a reasonable cost was great and a real surprise for being so close to central London.

Heel lekker eten Het was geen groot restaurant maar wel heel gezellig Er stond 1 man in de bediening en je merkte niet dat hij er alleen voor stond Het eten was redelijk snel er Het is er wel redelijk duur maar het is het geld waard

Family dinner x 4 of us. A warm welcome, fabulous mini mini brown rolls & butter & water on arrival. The crab starter with a roe mouse & carpaccio amazing, and our host had the usual fish soup - as fab as ever. I of course had the Vienna schnitzel holstein, egg lovely & runny, anchovy & capers. The best schnitzel anywhere - and I know! One fish of the day, two hake. Coffees & liqueurs. As super as always, a great treat. Thank you. H

Roberto is wonderful. Great hospitality.

A local of ours. Food was of a good quality, price was very reasonable. The maitre de and his colleague were exceptional. Although I had a toddler, they made us feel welcome and looked after us. It was clear they cared about providing a good service.

We have been dining at Bradleys for over ten years and during that time the quality of the food and service has remained extremely high. However, for reasons we do not understand, on our last two visits (yesterday and a couple of weeks ago) the restaurant was virtually empty. I hope this is a temporary blip (perhaps linked to what is showing at Hampstead Theatre?).

Booked a special birthday celebration for my partner in the afternoon. 2.30. We were 5 mins away ( running a bit late) they called me at 2.35 to say it’s too late! Quite rude and unsympathetic. So we were left trying to find a nice place To eat last minute which we couldn’t do!! So birthday was ruined I was so disappointed! Thanks Bradley’s !! 😢

Segunda visita y todo perfecto!! La comida muy buena en un lugar fantástico

As always a very pleasant (and excellent value) pre-theatre meal. Warming soup, Succulent lamb, and wonderful bread. Highly recommends.

Just had a Christmas dinner with friends The food and service was outstanding Thankyou everyone

We had dinner here last June fir the first time and we thoroughly enjoyed, so we returned once more for a pre theatre dinner. Overall we were very satisfied. The beef, however, was very dry and not very enjoyable. It needed to be more moist. The service was very good.

I have been to this restaurant many times and the owner Simon Bradley is very amicable. We went with friends we have not seen since before COVID and we had not been able to visit this restaurant either. Since then my wife is now disabled and the website states wheelchair access. In fact it’s difficult and luckily I asked for a table in the window. I could store the wheelchair in the clock cupboard. We ordered and all the food is good as usual except the Halibut day fish was not fresh but edible. The service has slipped when the waitress hands the plate to my friend’s rather than placing it on the table. I had to ask for water and a bottle was left on the table. No assistance. When it was time to leave there was no help with holding the door for the wheelchair which is difficult through two angled doors. At 12.5% service where there was none it is very expensive. Either take off the service or offer more staff help.

I was an early walk in single female customer sitting outside. I requested a drink 4 times in 40 mins, waiters just kept rushing past me ignoring me. When my food arrived the stuffed corgette flower was rock hard inside and inedible. I felt totally sidelined and ignored the whole evening and left very disappointed as have been here many times in family groups and enjoyed but staff and friendliness has all changed sadly.

Our first visit and a very early dinner at 18:00hrs as we were going to Hampstead Theatre. We opted for the Pre Fixe Menu. We both started with the Leek and Cheddar soufflé, followed by the Grilled Fish Selection and finished with both the cheese and the Eaton Mess. All simply excellent and very well presented. It was a pleasant surprise to see that they have half bottles wine - with the theatre show coming up we didn’t want to have a full bottle. A half bottle of Gavi di Gavi at £26 was an excellent value. Excellent service as well.

Lovely meal at Bradley's after matinee show at Hampstead theatre. Food was fab and good service. Definitely recommend.

Lovely food. Great atmosphere. Reasonably priced

I'd not been to Bradley's for years despite living literally around the corner. Last week I discovered that they were dog friendly so I was off like a shot. Firstly the food was fantastic- really good. It was a treat. The fish soup and the lamb were simply delicious. Everyone in the party of five enjoyed their food, including a fussy twelve year old. Very friendly staff. And they were not simply dog tolerant but genuinely dog friendly. They gave my dog water and steak! I was impressed that they had planned where to put us, away from other diners so the dog (who is only small but they didn't know that when I booked) did not bother others (he's very well behaved anyway otherwise I wouldn't take him) but still in a place where we felt part of the room. Hats off to Bradley's, 10/10. And a big woof from a happy miniature Schnauzer.

Buenos platos algunos detalles que mejorar como la atención

We visited here having booked Arabesque (next door), which was inexplicably closed when we arrived. Good, competent cooking. I ate a crab starter and perfectly cooked, medium rare rump of lamb.

Four of us, Friday night for a belated birthday celebration. Bradley's is NYC born Birthday Girl's favourite restaurant ever. Our meal was superb. I didn't even bother to look at menu: Fish soup followed by schnitzel, hold the potatoes, double the veggies. The souflees were...

It is many years since my last visit to Bradley's and yesterday's lunch with a friend made me wonder why it had been so long! Sadly there was only one other table in use and they deserve better but these are tough times in the...

Food good. Restaurant a bit of a throwback to the 70s

Great Restaurant, convenient for pre theatre - a delight to go back after lockdown

Simply wonderful, great good, friendly service and lovely atmosphere

What a find. Delicious food and wine. Excellent staff and welcoming atmosphere. Wish I lived nearer - I’d be there regularly. Very special restaurant.

Amazing food, great service, really enjoyed our evening at Bradley's. And, the banana souffle is not to be missed!! Will be back again 👍

Close to 5 stars, few little details like light the candle, warm the bread, but starters, main, desserts, wow, top class, good wine too. Venison was a highlight, but fabulous food

WOW,WOW .WOW. I had the best birthday meal ever here on Saturday the 13th November 2021 The food is out of this world i loved it. Each dish was a work of Art and not only looked good it tasted good. best hidden Gem in...

Used to come here twenty five years ago. Hadn’t been in that long. Still great.

My two recent dining experiences at Bradley's were outstanding. Advertised as a European kitchen, the French touch of the chef and waiters raises it immediately to excellence in taste, presentation and service. I enjoyed a lovely fresh fish dish, and an inspired vegetarian main course....

An underrated local gem! the level of cookery rivals that of more well known names in the London restaurant scene, and it is much more reasonably priced too

Excellent food, nice wines and charming service. Go there if you want a Pre-Dinner before theatre. Good time management

Another anniversary spent happily at Bradleys

Food always good However their heating is poor

Great service, great choice and great food. What more can one ask for.

Very nice dinner at Bradley’s - got a three-course meal with pumpkin soup, risotto and creme brulee, all for £26. Wine was reasonably priced too. The staff were friendly and polite, and the restaurant was not too busy on a weeknight which made for a relaxed evening. Good to find this hidden gem - would go back 👍

We could not fault the delicious Sunday lunch we enjoyed yesterday. From the freshly baked, delicious focaccia, the perfect soufflé and fish soup starters, to the top quality roast beef, crisp roast potatoes and the excellent Yorkshire pudding, crowned with the outstanding chocolate pave dessert,...

Excellent food , beautifully presented.

Nice food, interior is slightly outdated, average age of the crowd is late 60’s, only 1 vegan option.

Great meal pre theatre, speedy service, great table and ambience.

Excellent food, good wine. A pretty restaurant. I'd been before and wasn't disappointed on this return visit.

Very pleased with Bradleys at home ! We didn't know what to expect and it was perfect. Really good, nicely served portions. Thank you to the team !

Nice place to have lunch and delicious food. We had the 3 courses set menu

Had dinner with a friend and the food was lovely. The fact that the restaurant has “daily fish” on the menu is indicative of fresh fish. Highly recommended

A fantastic meal - such tasty cooking, thank you Simon, and very good service. Superb wine list

I have been using this restaurant for some years now and always for birthdays or special occasions. It is consistently excellent on food quality and preparation so I have never been disappointed. This is fine dining at reasonable prices. Go as often as you can,...

Really wonderful birthday dinner at Bradley’s. (All felt very safe) The food was wonderful! Can thoroughly recommend the scallops and the duck. A peaceful evening in a classic yet modern restaurant. Lovely service too. Hope to be back soon!
