Best Restaurants for Foodies in Gospel Oak

The food and service were outstanding. Highly recommend the place. The dim sum was amazing. The drinks were great with very nice presentation. We will be back.

We love the Parakeet. It never disappoints. We’ve been a handful of times and have also gone to two quiz nights which were loads of fun. The staff on the floor are incredible and everyone has so much heart and passion for what they do. Overall, I would highly recommend with one caveat. For this particular visit I had some trouble with the very unpleasant woman in charge of group bookings. I reached out months in advance as we were a large party. She was very unresponsive and dismissive so I would recommend for a larger group. Not worth the stress and aggravation.

As always totally superb food, wines and service! Thank you St John for always being special!

Another superb supper in the charming and inspired Goldies. Finally got around to trying the Pork - that crispy and crunchy coating was top-notch Japanese level... so beautifully made and utterly unctious. As too were the new Beef Shin coquette - evidence that Will and his Team and forever thinking about their creations and tinkering to upscale their endeavours. It's a all a beautiful fusion between the immense achievements of the food and the sheers unpretentiousness of it all. You can't order badly - it's all unified, coherent and underpinned by philosophy and skill. Brilliant stuff.

We had a day trip into London and we all really wanted Italian. Seeing that this restaurant made its own pasta was just fantastic so we had to try it! I had the lobster pasta which was really tasty, my daughter had the boar and my husband had the vongole which was also super. We had some nice wine to compliment the dishes. Despite it being incredibly busy the waitress was able to get us seated quite quickly. Service was very friendly - the whole experience was fantastic
