The Banana Tree Canteen – Angel

A great oriental restaurant to go for if you want good food and you want it quick. It has a similar feel to the Wagamama restaurants. I liked the open kitchen which formed part of the dining area and this restaurant had friendly staff.

Hache Burger Connoisseurs – Camden Town

If you are looking for a tasty burger made from quality ingredients, then this is the restaurant for you. The flower fairy lights help to set a romantic atmosphere.

inSpiral Lounge – Camden Town

The inSpiral Lounge overlooks the Camden Locks and has a very new age feel to it.  All the food is organic and delicious, not to mention reasonably priced.
