The best restaurants in Bloomsbury Camden London

Service by Neesha was excellent. Went above and beyond realised I was struggling to see and came to help. What fantastic service

This place really goes above and beyond to STEAL YOUR MONEY. They took a deposit of £300, no service provided and will not issue my refund. I had a private event booked, confirmed and deposit paid for 09/12/2023. The restaurant stopped replying to all emails and phone calls from a week beforehand. This resulted in going down in person to sort out any issues. Turns out there had been closed for a while, Elaine (owner) and Tanvir (no clue what his role is) did not bother to communicate anything and had I not shown up prior I would have been standing in the street with 20+ guests. Did I mention they have stolen and refused to refund my £300 deposit??

Everyone enjoyed their food, my seafood was excellent, staff were friendly and attentive and the decor looked nice as well.

Some very attentive staff rather glossed over a bland tasting menu, a few of the dishes were nice, the chicken to start and the Sea Bass Ramen dish were excellent, but the remaining lacked flavour and seasoning and we had plenty of time to ponder their absence during the 40 minute wait between course 3 and 4, then, just like London buses, course 5,6, and the additional Pork/Prawn Skewer dish( which I’m afraid was inedible) all came at once. Overall a disappointing dining experience.

don't use this chinese hole, the food is greasy, fat, not fresh and they force you to take %15 tips. they are at 45 grafton way london

Two of us went here for an early dinner. We had a good service. The food was good and the restaurant was clean. We would eat here again.

nous avons diné chez Pomme de Pain un dimanche et nous avons été très bien accueillies. L'équipe est très professionnelle et parle meme français. Nous avons mangé une galette complète qui était très bonne, comme en Bretagne. Nous y reviendrons bientôt c'est certain. Un grand merci à toute l'équipe pour leur accueil.

Great food and drinks and exceptional service. The manager Jamie went over and over to accommodate us with our food. Highly recommend a visit. Great choice of wines especially Rose.

This corner of prime real estate in Bloomsbury has hosted an Italian joint (good), a French bistro (okay), and now Bon Vivant, a restaurant that's not very much of anything. Service: When we arrived the restaurant had one couple in the front of the house, and a group in the back. Hardly over-busy. But it took some ten minutes for the owner/server to bother giving us menus. Similar waits to take drink orders, and food orders. The food: The menu is a spiritless offering of vaguely pan-European dishes. Few options inspired me. Should have looked more closely at the menu on arrival before sitting down. My wife's chicken was Cajun style, which of course means blackened and spicy. Hers was blackened, certainly, but dry as a bone and without much amplified flavor. My pasta with pesto sauce was flavorless and dry. And my most frequent gripe about most restaurants and most places: music. I'm not good at naming music styles, but when we arrived they were playing the kind of generic R&B that is so common these days. The music was annoying, but it was at a low volume. Then, suddenly, they turned it up to annoyingly loud volume. I asked them to turn it down, which they did. Don't these people know the psychology of dining and the role of music that can help people relax (or not)? Conclusion. Far better restaurants in this sophisticated corner of London. Avoid, if you have the chance.

Nice little place. Very friendly staff, especially Ashraf. Great food, and nice ambience. Hope to be here again soon...

Been on my bucket list places to eat at for a long time and was pleasantly surprised. It’s your standard canteen style affair with a good choice of regional staples, a vegetable option meats and bread. The spice level is mild/medium and on the smaller size but put together it’s adequate. Very flavourful and authentic, price wise very reasonable for central London and very popular with locals.

Absolutely delicious! Could smell the baked goods from the street and had to go inside. The counter is divine for sandwiches and sweets. Have been back 4x now. Gets busy around lunch time with office workers lunch break

Encontré el restaurante usando Google Maps ya que necesitábamos un lugar para comer cerca de nuestro hotel. Tuvimos una comida pre teatro. Hay una mesa central que se comparte o se sienta alrededor del exterior. Tuvimos la suerte de conseguir un asiento en la ventana. Un menú pequeño pero totalmente excelente , todo casero, los arincini que compartimos fue una delicia. Mi carbonara era increíble y una porción tan grande servida caliente, los canelones de mi esposa estaban deliciosos. No puedo recomendar el tiramisú lo suficiente, cremoso chocolate precioso. Junto con el fabuloso vino italiano fue un placer absoluto comer allí

Met friends here last year and it was great but today was a ‘never again’ experience. £5 for a bottle of warm coke. £8 for stale cheese and pickle sandwiches (no garnish, just two slices of bread a slice of cheddar and a bit of pickle). The waitress said they keep the bread in the fridge - I think the reality is they make sandwiches up days in advance and keep them until they are stale. We complained and asked for a refund which took 20 minutes of form filling and a trip to the hotel reception for them to spend ages on the computer. No wonder they make you pay before the food even arrives, probably too many people try to leave without paying when met with that standard. The menu also didn’t match what’s on the internet, choice is much more limited. My recommendation is the fantastic Italian café in Russell Square garden where we went afterwards - should have gone there first!

Primera visita. La comida era de buena calidad. La hamburguesa y el perro eran de un tamaño grande y también muy sabroso. Pedimos fichas grandes para compartir, sin duda más que suficiente para nosotros dos. El restaurante estaba limpio y la comida se sirvió en un buen momento. Había mucho espacio y mesas para comer. Como se mencionó en otras reseñas el costo es caro, pero yo diría que vale la pena.
