Nautilus Fish Restaurant

I stopped in here for lunch and was slightly disappointed. Rather than getting a takeaway I decided…read moreto eat in the small dining room in the back, which has several tables, a full menu with different seafood dishes. I ordered the cod and chips which came out relatively quickly. The fish was slightly over cooked and the fish batter did not look fresh, as the colour was a little too dark. The chips also were not the best, tasting as though they had been left out and reheated. I also had to wait for a long time for the waiter to clear the table and in the end I got fed up and went to pay at the counter. They were fairly busy and only one waiter - should think about hiring more staff. In the past o had a fairly good takeaway from here. I tried this place again on July 25, 2018 and again was disappointed. The fish was frozen rather than fresh and clumped up. Oil was not fresh. Taste just wasn't there. Such a shame.

Really, really, good fish and chips. I'll be back! The chips…read moreare amazing, you got to try this if you're a fish and chip fan.

The Flask was our last pub stop on our Hamstead pub crawl…read more The Flask was a very charming pub, but a lot of the beers on tap were unavailable at only 9:30pm on a Saturday. It also appears we came across the one person in England who doesn't speak English. My husband tried to order two half pints, but the waitress couldn't understand the request. After four attempts my husband gave up and ordered two pints. To our frustration the glass was clearly marked with "half pint" and "pint" indicators. I find it hard to believe that no other customers had ever requested a half pint from this bartender before! Since we had been drinking all night and were starting to suffer from jet lag we only finished half of our beers and left. With a different bartender and a better beer selection I think the Flask would have been a five star experience.

They have lunch specials featuring combos + soft drink for around 5 or 6 quid. They serve it within a few minutes. And the people are nice. Is Gordon Ramsey going to make sweet love to your fish? No. Is Jamie Oliver going to hand slice every chip then rolle them across his musky cheat before deep frying? No. But you will get battered cod and well-steamed chips. It's not by any means one of London's best F&C places, but it works here and now.

Alex's Plaice serves the traditional style fish and chips as opposed to the rubbish kebab shop take-away chips you usually find in London. They're not the best chips in the world but they're better than most in this city. The guys who work in there are friendly and chatty as well and the price is pretty reasonable and if you do want a burger or kebab they do those as well.

Lure Fish Kitchen

The best fish and chips I ever eaten. Regular customer, never been disappointed. I couldn't believe…read morethis place hasn't visited by any of my fellow Yelpers. This is truly been kept quite by the well heeled locals of Highgate and Dartmouth Park for too long. I would best describe this place as a posh fish shop. Forget any images of greasy, oily, bland fish and chips you may have experienced in the past. This is a whole other level. Firstly, the chips are triple cooked Maris Pipers which is (as all self respecting British connoisseur will know) the best roasting/ frying potato. The fish is locally sourced and would have been swimming around the North Sea no less than two days before. The fish is beer battered in locally brewed Camden Hells larger and it has to be one of the best pieces of batter you can get. It comes in at £11 which is slightly more than you would pay else where but the difference is roughly about £4 but well worth it. They also offer an array of other quality seafood based dishes all of which I haven't tried but on viewing look amazing. If in the N19/NW5 area or a tourist wishing to sample the national British dish at its truly best then defiantly go out of your way to visit. I've attached the menu with prices along with address so guys defiantly check it out if looking for a fish fix. I'll attach some more images when I next go in.

Nevertheless, I LOVE SEAFOOD so I am going to say, from a seafood restaurant perspective, it's definitely a Must try! It has great oysters, mussels, and their fish and chips is definitely light and crispy -heart-! Unfortunately, this place only opens on Wed thru Sunday so make sure you are there on the right days!

After our walk around the beautiful Hampstead neighborhoods, we needed a respite.

The sides were creamy buttery mash and tender cooked greens (cabbage & broccolini mostly) A little pitcher of tarragon chicken gravy came with. A heavenly flavorful dining experience that will be fondly remembered as a highlight of our trip.

As for their drinks, they don't only serve draft beers, they also have amazing cocktails that you can get in a pitch to share. My favourite is definitely the one with gin, lemonade and plum jam. The only problem if you go there on a weekend evening is that it gets very loud, the music is a little too high and it can get difficult to have a conversation. But It is also a great place for brunch- try their stack of pancakes ! They're incredible !
