Featured Swiss Cottage Restaurants
1. Bradley’s
British, Modern restaurant in Swiss Cottage
25 Winchester Rd - NW3
Simon & Jolanta Bradley’s “efficient” veteran of 30 years’ standing near Swiss Cottage station “never lets you down” and it’s a “great option if going to the Hampstead Theatre around the corner”. But while fans say “the quality of the food is such that it shouldn’t be only for pre-theatre”, there’s also a view that “it can feel rather soulless” as a destination in itself.
2. Green Cottage
Chinese restaurant in Swiss Cottage
9 New College Parade - NW3
This “typical local Chinese” amidst a parade of shops in Swiss Cottage has put in more than 50 years’ service. Why? “The food is relatively good and prices reasonable”.
3. Fiddie’s Italian Kitchen
Italian restaurant in Camden
13 New College Parade - NW3
2021 Review: “Fun and lively, with a management who make you feel extremely welcome” – this simple, ‘Italian kitchen’ in Swiss Cottage serves pizza and pasta plus somewhat more ambitious dishes: it’s all “delicious and good value for money”.
4. Atari-Ya
Japanese restaurant in Swiss Cottage
75 Fairfax Road - NW6
2022 Review: “A sushi bar in a shop” may not sound appealing, but these cafés operated by a Japanese food importer – in Ealing, Swiss Cottage, Golders Green and Marylebone – provide fresh, “clean-tasting” sushi, and they’re “good-value”.
5. Singapore Garden
Malaysian restaurant in Swiss Cottage
83a Fairfax Rd - NW6
“This place has not changed in 30 years, thank goodness!” – a Swiss Cottage “stalwart” that “packs ’em in every night” (“it gets very loud”) with “slick service and consistently good cooking” from “an excellent range of Chinese and SE Asian specialities”, all at very “reasonable prices”. Top Menu Tip – “laksa is a favourite”.
6. Cinder
BBQ restaurant in Belsize Park
66 Belsize Lane - NW3
This “superb, cosy local” in Belsize Park now also has an offshoot that’s proving “a great addition to St John’s Wood”. The focus is on “interesting food cooked with fire” from chef-owner Jake Finn (ex-LPM and The Ritz), who takes inspiration from Mediterranean, Peru and Japan: “a sharing concept from a menu that’s not huge but with good variety and lots of veggie options”. Both sites provide “wonderful combinations, simply done”, with meat, fish and veggies that are “both charred and succulent”. “It’s not inexpensive, but great value given the quality of ingredients and cleverness of the cuisine”. Top Menu Tip – “whole sea bream, fennel, radish and fresh herbs is a standout”.
7. Lume
Italian restaurant in Primrose Hill
38 Primrose Hill Road - NW3
“Owner/front-of-house Giuseppe is Sicilian, chef Antonio is Sardinian, and the cuisine is a mix of the two” at this cute Primrose Hill corner-site, praised for its “fabulous cooking and charming service”. An impressive wine list explores biodynamic bottles from the two islands.
