La Patagonia in Camden

Discovered by chance while looking for a restaurant near Camden Market. The decor is totally atypical and immediately makes you feel (almost) at home. As for the meat - yes, because you don't go to an Argentinian restaurant to eat fish or vegan food (although there are vegan dishes too), meat is just on another level... Having been to several Steakhouses in my life, I have to say that the quality of the meat and the cooking were exceptional. As for the rest, the setting gave the impression of being in an Argentinian bistro, and the wine was up to scratch without going over the top. In short, everyone was happy in the end. All in all - in addition to the friendly service - it was a very positive experience for a first lunch during our week-long family vacation. If we pass by it again, we'll go back.

If you want to have nice steak, highly recommended!

Excellent service, food and atmosphere in this great relaxing restaurant. The steak and chicken dishes were very good. They are even dog friendly, which was a real bonus.

Cozy and super friendly places. I went there with a group of friends and we enjoyed very much. The meat was delicious, (we tried the parrilla of course!) atmosphere is very nice as there are big windows with nice light, staff is very kind and friendly.

Unique service in Camden Town, 100% Argentine product, elegant service, affordable price whenever I want good meat I visit them. It really is good.

My wife took us here for our wedding anniversary. I really needed this, as I had been missing home food. This place does not disappoint. Everything we had was amazing, portions were large and came out in timely manner. Staff were great and made the evening lovely. If you like meat, come here.

This was my second time here after a great shared meat platter that was fantastic. This time we ordered some premium cuts (cannot remember if it was Asado de Tira or Sirloin) and asked for it to be medium rare. The meat was a bit overcooked so when we complained to the waiter he kindly offered to take the meat back and come with a new plate of meat, which was cooked to perfection. The food was delicious and I love the decor and ambiance that is so relaxed and makes you feel at home.

Hello, the owner requested more context, which is fair. I just did it in a rush last time. I have to say the meat itself was really tasty and good quality, but I have tried equally or better meat in other places around London with the same price tag but including some salad and chips as well as some sauce options, or most importantly with a better more uplifting dining atmosfere. The dish I got was a really nice cut of meat with very simple chips, but it looked like something made at home. The whole dish was quite dry as there was no sauce to accompany it. I ended up ordering some sauce after the dish arrived (literally ordered any ready to go sauce as I didn't want my food to get cold waiting for it) but the waiter did not give much advice and just stood there, looking very very tired. The chips were average french fries, nothing special to them, like the ones you get frozen and deep fry at home, not outstanding flavour either. My companion's dish was equally simplistic but also equally pricey. There was no option to have sweet potato fries instead (asked) which I know its an option in many steak restaurants (including some argentinian ones in London too). Also I naively had assumed that chimichurri was going to feature heavily on their menu, unfortunately it didn't, or at least it was not too obvious from the menu or in the separate sauce list. The environment was really dull, and staff didn't have much initiative, the bare minimum, I can only describe it as if they looked tired and seemed like they didn't want to be there? which is not the lively attitude I have seen from other argentinian people and was expecting from an argentinian restaurant.... Maybe it was because it was a week day? but it was empty at 8pm which is after work hours and you would expect to see more people dining as in other restaurants. when we were about to order dessert other two people came in but that was it. When ordering dessert, they returned to say that they had run out of my option, which is fine, but also they communicated it in the most dull manner whithout perhaps suggesting other desserts or even if not making suggestions, at least saying it clearly and with an assertive attitude. I could barely hear the person when they came to say it and we had to ask them to repeat what they said because we had not heard/understood them. It is not about the language, whenever they did communicate I could understand perfectly, it was more about the liveless attitude/way they said things while interacting. In terms of the food disappointment, I think it is a combination of lack of communication from both sides. On my side I perhaps should have not assumed the dish was going to come with a sauce or better presented? On the other hand, the staff were not really very welcoming as such, they were not rude either but the atmosphere was slow and dull. The reason behind my rating is because when you go out to dine, you want the dining experience to reflect the place where you are, it is not just about the food. Specially if you have been in places where the price is the same or less but the experience is much better. Also from past reviews I had seen so nice pictures with dishes that come with fries and salad and a salad dressing..... that I was expecting that.... or if it requires extra ordering the staff could be more involved into ensuring that the customer knows before the order. Like they do in other restaurants where waiting staff smile at you when they give you a menu and ask if you have been there before, and if no then they gently go trhough the menu sections or say he dishes come with so and so and sauces can be ordered aside...if yoou want a salad ...... and then leave you to it for few minutes. I am not sure if the team changed management from the previous reviews with images or maybe the staff team were having a bad day... anyway it reflected badly on my experience. I am keen to going back and giving it another chance in the future in case it was a one off thing, but not really looking forward to much now.

Steak: perfect Argentinian and cooked just right. Hidden gem. Worth a visit.

The best steak I have possibly ever eaten, even compared to much pricier restaurants. Very friendly service too thank you

They have an excellent product, perfectly cooked. The meat is totally juicy and the service is fast and efficient.. It is difficult to find a quality of meat like this in London, also at a fair price. We will repeat!

This place is a gem. Went out for a meal with frienda and I have to say the food was incredible. The menu has a fantastic amount of choice and it's unfortunate that you can only taste so much in one sitting so definitely going to visit quite a few more times. The steak was exquisite and the sides were lovely. The staff and chef were welcoming and friendly. A new favourite establishment.

“First time here and all I can say it’s that the rib eye steak lives now on my memories” - that’s the words of my boyfriend. I came here with my boyfriend for his birthday for the first time because a friend of mine recommended me to go there, she said it was the best Argentinian restaurant that she had been in London and she was not lying. I ordered beef with some mushrooms sauce and potatoes ! It was delicious! . My boyfriend literally asked to the waiter “ I want a massive delicious piece of meat “ and he recommended him the Rib Eye Steak. The point of the meat was just what he wanted, salt, juiciness… he said he loved it. Thank you guys for your service!

It was a good experience, the service was kind, the place itself is very nice just a bit noisy when it gets busier. Delicious Argentinian wine. Apparently the Medallones De Carne A La Pimienta were very good but I do not recommend veggie soy escalopes, they are below the expectations and their price!

The food is quite good, with well-cooked steaks and tasty empanadas. However, despite letting the staff know we didn’t want garlic, our “entraña” arrived smothered in it. On the downside, the service was quite disappointing. The staff seemed disinterested and unpleasant, which detracted from the overall experience. We ended up wanting to eat quickly and leave. While the food is worth trying, the service needs improvement to enhance the dining experience.

Very tender and tasty rib eye. Definitely one of the best steaks I’ve had in London.

Had lunch with family here. Fantastic Argentinian restaurant. My son had the chorizo sausage to start. My partner and I had the Milanos steak in breadcrumbs which was lovely.ynson had this massive steak on the bone which looked amazing. Too full for dessert!! Very enjoyable.

Very delicious! I love it! Great food and kind people! The star less is because online the menu is showing the wrong price , and the menus in person are completely different! I am shocked was £50 on top of our bill. But I strongly recommend it! The man was very kind and apologized for the mistake.

Would have given 5 good tasted good but service not really up to scratch . Would have ordered a few more drinks etc but. No one came to table to see if ok

Entraña is an absolute must!! Succulent, juicy, and full of flavour! Yum! Service was excellent and environment very cosy.

We had lunch, and while the food tasted fantastic, I was disappointed with the dish presentation. The atmosphere did not meet my expectations. Additionally, the kitchen was accessible to everyone, which raised hygiene concerns. The chef was preparing some items on the restaurant table, and at the end of his shift, he changed shoes and clothes in the main salon. The toilets were dirty and had a noticeable smell.

Wonderful rib-eye steak and tiramisu. Really very tasty!!

Normally a place I like a lot. Last time visited, quite a few things had been missing from the menu and the food did not feel as excellent as normal. Ribeye was still very good. Picania was not great.

This restaurant really surprised me on my first day in London. The steak was one of the best I have ever eaten and the staff showed a degree of hospitability I have never experienced before.

- Very friendly staff. - The meat: incredibly tender, buttery! - Unlike other comments, the only downside is the price: I found it quite expensive! (almost £140 for 3) But quality comes at a price...

Very friendly and kind staff, and quick service. Steaks were great, the chips were a bit sh*t and quite disappointing, the pepper sauce was also not great, the wines were ok-ish. I've increased my review for effort and atmosphere, and for it's location it's well above average

Tasty food, excellent customer service. Food prices are fine and ampanadas so good, steak quality is good.

Nice atmosphere, very cozy and warm place and people. Highly recommended in Camden

This restaurant was recommended to us by a close friend. It is fairly basic when it comes to decoration and atmosphere, but it makes up for it with the food and service. The meat is quite tasty and cooked as you wish, in our case medium rare, which is hard to find in London. We cannot comment on drinks because we do not drink as having a glass of anything costs a fortune in our opinion (in all restaurants except for Wetherspoons). Price wise I would say that adjusted for quality is quite good. The fact that Argentinians and South Americas eat there is a really positive sign!

Nestled in London's Camden Town, La Patagonia offers an authentic Argentine culinary experience. Shouldn't be missed. The restaurant excels in classic dishes, like Argentine beef, Amazing Pasta, milanesas and empanadas. The beef empanadas, in particular, are a must-try. The Milanesa Napolitana is another highlight, showing kitchen’ skill in preparing this traditional Argentine fare. For steak lovers, its probably a must, and doesn't disappoint. The steaks are cooked to perfection, with the “entraña” being especially noteworthy for its tenderness and juiciness. Hand-cut chips and salad, showing attention to detail and quality. While the beef dishes shine, La Patagonia also offers excellent pasta options, and even vegan, making it a versatile choice for diners. Whether you're craving authentic Argentine cuisine or simply looking for a great meal, La Patagonia is highly recommended. It's a perfect spot for both Argentine food enthusiasts and those new to the cuisine.

We were two couples on vacation and we had a great dinner. We had the ribeye steak, the sirloin, and two chicken escalopes, one with spinach and one plain. Everything was perfect and the service was very friendly.

Best quality steak. Lovely family runned restaurant.

This restaurant is amazing! My husband Agustin and I were so delighted to find delicious sorrentino pasta in London which took him right back to his childhood in Buenos Aires. We will be back next time to try la parrillada! Thank you so much for a fantastic evening - great ambiance and friendly and knowledgeable staff.

I love this place. Every time I come to London, I must have dinner here. Stellar quality, which never changed for at least the last ten years. Staff and reservation system on point too.

As an American in London, I've searched for a good steak place. La Patagonia is it. Every dish was delicious (Carne Al Roquefort and Vacío with Mashed Potatoes were highlights). Excellent wood-cooked-flavor and attention to doneness.

Authentic Argentinian restaurant. Food was just amazing, very tasty and good doses.

Best Argentinean restaurant in London!

Great food and ambience and on top excellent customer service. We walked into this place without much thought taking a rsik. But glad we did. Had a really good time eating out steaks. Food prices aren't extortionately high and steak quality is par with top London steak places. The only downside is a parking, but for majority it should not be a problem because of great public transport links.

Good quality and tender argentian steak, empanadas, chorizo. All very delicious. We will definitively come back

Came here for my birthday, had a lovely night. Cannot wait to come again

Best Argentinian Steak of England and the UK! Amazing service and great people!

It was delicious and waiter who helped us to choose our dish was extremely helpful.

Excellent restaurant, exceptional meat and cooked perfectly. Friendly and helpful staff Absolutely recommended.

Excellent both the food and the attention 🧡🇦🇷

I recently dined at a charming Argentinian restaurant nestled in the heart of Camden, and it was an experience worth sharing. This family-run gem offers the warmth and authenticity of homemade cooking, making every visit feel like a comforting embrace. One of the standout features of this restaurant is their mouthwatering beef sweetbreads. Prepared to perfection, these sweetbreads are a testament to the culinary skills passed down through generations. Each bite reveals a tender, flavorful delight that truly captures the essence of traditional Argentinian cuisine. Beyond the incredible sweetbreads, the menu is filled with other delicious options, all showcasing the rich flavors and vibrant spirit of Argentina. The cozy, welcoming atmosphere, paired with the heartfelt service, makes this restaurant a must-visit in Camden for anyone craving an authentic taste of Argentina.

I really appreciated this restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere and moderate prices. Argentine cuisine is not easy to find. My steak was exactly right. It was some time ago I tried it so will write a fuller new review after next visit.

Second visit in the last 12 months or so. Delicious, friendly staff, reasonably priced

I'm going back for lunch and taking my family and friends. Quiet place out of noise Candem Market.

We went here on the recommendation of our father-in-law, who seems to go here regularly. We were not disappointed. We had the chicken on the lunchtime menu, with garlic & herb fries. The chicken was absolutely delicious. I wish I could cook chicken that moist and tasty. With a side salad and vegetables, this was the perfectly portioned lunch. If only the place was closer to home, I might be persuaded to put it on my regular haunts list. I will however be going back for certain.

A proper real Argentinian. No nonsense of all the other “fancy” Argentinian restaurants. From the owners to the servers are originally from Argentina or they know very well what they are doing. I lived in Buenos Aires for 5 years and it was a pleasure to eat some of the real traditional dishes. Make sure you book because people know about this and it’s always full.

I used to love this place. But the food was horrible today. The worst chimichurre I've ever had before. I can't understand how the quality and taste of food can change so much. Very unhappy. My last time there.

Everything is incredible, if you are looking for a place to eat a good Argentinian Milanese, it is definitely here!

Very good food, friendly service and good atmosphere. Points that can be improved: - I asked for a medium-rare steak, but it was more on the rare side. - The fries were too salty. Portion of fries was also not very big. - While the quality of the ingredients was excellent, it was slightly overpriced. The prices are more Mayfair level than Camden, slightly too high in my opinion. All in all I enjoyed my meal here and would return. If the points above are addressed it would definitely deserve 5 stars.

The food was fantastic, as was the service. A really relaxing place to eat, didn't feel at all rushed. Very very enjoyable.

It's been a long time since I've had meat done this well, top service, spectacular wine, excellent service

Great steak dinner and excellent service.

Authentic and very tasty! Value for money for lunch is great!

My favourite restaurant in Camden. The food is amazing, great staff & service as well. Would definitely recommend this to anyone!

Our group, six people, got such good steaks that we returned the next day to dine at La Patagonia again. We had Vacío, Entraña, Carne al Roquefort, Lomitos al Champignon, Medallones de Carne a la Pimienta, variety of starters, good red wine, tasty Sangria and Argentinian beer, delicious! The service was excellent and everything seemed to work as well as possible. I definitely recommend!

Went out to lunch with friends that came to visit and had an authentic argentine experience. I have been away from home (Argentina) for 4 years now and have tried various restaurants in London and none quite like this one, the food is to an incredible standard and for the 2 hours we were there, I was back at home. Not only was the food amazing, but the staff too, customer service was excelente & very friendly. Needless to say I will be coming to eat regularly. Highly recommend!

Very delicious steaks and amazing service also.

One of the best Steaks, if ever had, service was friendly and welcoming as well as the Atmosphere was comfy but formal at the same time. My family and me highly recommend this restaurant from now on.

Excellent choice of mains, best Rib Eye Steak I've ever eaten. chicken very good, all home made

The mrs and I had a great meal. Our waitress was a bit inexperienced and we couldn’t always get her attention but that’s a minor. The food is great!

So delicious and super lovely and friendly! Highly reccomend!

A true gem in the hearth of Camden! The black pudding and the carne al Roquefort were particularly tasty! Don’t miss it!

Et vennlig og sjarmerende personale møtte oss sent en lørdag kveld i Camden. Fult hus og utrolig god stemning. Man føler seg velkommen og trer inn i en vennlig atmosfære. Kjøttet var medium stekt,kremet mais saus og hjemmelaget potetstappe i tillegg. Kjøttet var utsøkt og det samme var siderettene. Fruen bestilte ravioli som hun syntes var svært velsmakende. Anbefales sterkt!

Amazing quality of Meat, the service you receive at La Patagonia is amazing and it’s been a family favourite for the past 6 years! Please come and try for yourself.

Amazing and authentic Argentinian food, served and managed by Argentinians doing proper food. Really good prices/portions. Meat was lovely

Super Nice Argentinian Restaurant. Had the Bife De Lomo, soft ,tasty and cooked to perfection, Alan was super good and attentive. Well Done !

Good food and good service. Meat is juicy and tasty. Chorizo a bit overcooked and dry though.

Great little steak place that cooks in open fire! Food and wine was amazing and service excellent. Will definitely visit again!

Best Argentinian restaurant in London 💙 For dessert I can definitely recommend the home made tiramisu

We have order steak and appetiser . The appetiser ended up come as the same time as the main after we chasing the order. The food is good but slightly pricey. The service is not bad but slightly slow and forgetful. I have my steak come in half of the size and the waiter realised that. They give me more after the servicing my main. In overall it is not bad

Very good food and service. Quite small.

Fourth time we’ve been - last three times with different friends who’ve all loved it. Amazing steaks, authentic dishes and wines. Great staff and atmosphere. You’ll have to book as it is always popular.

Second time here, great food, great service. Will definitely come back again.

Ordered the chorizo argentino and the Lomitos al Champignon, which was sooooo good! The empanada was quite average though. We waited nearly 20mins for our starters, and it was a bit disappointing that the other customers, who arrived later than us, got their starters before we had ours. Nonetheless, it was still a positive experience for us in the end.

What a find this was! I usually avoid Argentinian restaurants as a vegetarian because the menus are heavily meat based but the vegi choices were amazing. My steak loving husband and our two friends (also lovers of a good steak) enjoyed a pre gig meal here. Service was excellent, everyone was very friendly. It’s not a huge restaurant so it felt more homely and comfortable. Our friends said their steaks were among the best they’d ever had. My vegetarian choices were really flavoursome and far more interesting than the usual options given at other restaurants. All in all a fantastic experience. High quality food and service. Can’t wait to go back and explore the menu further

Brilliant restaurant. Very laid back and charming staff. Food is delicious and probably the best steak I’ve had for a long while. Empanadas were gorgeous, the humita was a new experience and really nice. We could t find fault with anything and discovered the tasty Quilmes Argentine beer as well. Steaks were cooked to perfection. Great decor with a lot of Argentine football and sports memorabilia on the walls. 10/10 and will be heading back soon!

The meat is very tender and cooked just right. Attentive and very friendly service, they advise you well in your choices. Small but well organised. We were provided with a high chair for our one year old baby "la Senorita" as they called her.

Poor service, environment was unwelcoming, and food overpriced.

I'm Argentinian and this is my go-to place to eat authentic food!! I love it. 100% recommend the entraña 😊

Very good place to eat for the food, people and place!

If you want to try traditional Argentine food, this is the place to go. The staff is very kind, the food is exquisite and there is always a good vibe. Will be back!

It is our second time and it was great again!! The steak was phenomenal 😋 We will be back in ☀️ summer!!!!

I absolutely love this place, I go very often with my friends. The food is amazing, and one of the few places in London to find Molleja and Chinchulines. Food and wine are 10 points already, nonetheless, service is 10 points as well. Can't recommend this place enough.

Comida, servicio, medioambiente 10/10 El chef y dueño Adrián es un divino que sabe cocinar una gran carne. Y Nikolas es súper personable y atento asegurando una cena inolvidable. Chao chicos nos estamos viendo más a menudo!

It seemed to be a good place but there was long black hair in our meat and both me and my husband didn’t feel well after the visit 🤷‍♀️

Wow! Just wow! Scrumptious Steak! Wonderful Welcome! Super Service. We will be back! Thank you Adrian and Nicholas 👌

The food was very good. I loved the mollejas and the arepa with goat cheese and peppers.

Legit preparation of Argentinian food, to the point where if you want “jugoso”, they know what you mean. Fernet and coca for everyone! A great meal.

Awesome food. Great service. Would definitely recommend

Lovely authentic and local Argentina restaurant with delicious food and amazing meats. The price and the portions are very good.

Great steaks, quality of meat and perfect seasoning, great service and awesome wine. Small issues: fries I would recommend triple cooking as they were quite soggy the moment they arrived. Flan was overcooked, could taste a bit of an egg scrambled so would be perfect if cooked a bit less. And also ice cream arrived at or table was also fully melted. Apart of that still a 5* because of how good the meat was.

this place is spectacular! It should be among the best! I think there are too many overrated places that don't even come close to this place. We have finally found our favorite place!

Best Argentinian restaurant in the whole UK without a doubt, the quality of the Argentinian imported meat, the cooking skills and the outstanding service is superb! Defo will comeback

Top tier grilled meats. Only slight criticism is that the steak could have been seasoned a bit more. Other than that fantastic.

Caro y malo, pese a que todos son argentinos, me comí la milanesa más seca y mala de mi vida. Le comenté al chef y la respuesta fue “que querés, si son milanesas”…. Terrible

Living close by we have walked past this place countless times but have never actually gone in. Yesterday my son wanted a steak for his 21st birthday dinner, he’s not particularly keen on Gaucho’s or M & C and much prefers local independent restaurants, luckily La Patagonia managed to squeeze us in! Everything was perfect, starters were delicious and our mains were outstanding! Service was quick and the servers were friendly. I highly recommend this place for reasonable prices and relaxed dining.
