London Restaurants within a 5 minute walk of Hampstead Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

A cosy 18th-century pub in a beautiful part of London, The Holly Bush is charming from the moment you arrive, with lush plants outside and a warm, elegant interior that feels like a second home. I only stopped in for a drink, but the food looked great and the Cornish Orchards cider I had was lovely. The décor is gorgeous, classic wood, a stunning sunroof, and plenty of character (even a quirky old coat stand!). Service was friendly, though the bathroom did have some mould on the ceiling. Easy to reach from the nearby station and definitely worth visiting… no surprise Ariana Grande came here.

Stunning pub/restaurant on such a cute hill in Notting Hill. The atmosphere in December in the restaurant is so festive and lovely. The food was amazing, however I'd say the main courses, in particular the pasta, were rather small in size and an increase in portion sizes would make the experience perfect. The apple crumble for dessert was amazing and a great size! A glass of mulled wine was £10, so if you drank quite a few drinks, it would be pretty expensive but the place is lovely. Overall the place was great, but when I leave still feeling a bit hungry, I can't give somewhere 5 stars when it's quite expensive.

Had an absolute brilliant time at the Holly Bush in Hampstead. It had been on my bucket list for ages and as this was my first trip to London I wanted to make sure I didn’t miss out. We arrived an hour before our booking and grabbed a table in the front bar and took in the ambiance over a couple of cocktails. We then went upstairs for our lunch, everything was so delicious and the service was fantastic. Would highly recommend.

🚇Hampstead 🍺 £6.90 Amstel The Holly Bush is tucked away in a secluded atmospheric corner of Hampstead in North London. The nearest Tube is Hampstead. The building was originally built as stables for adjacent Romney's House in built the 1790s and used as the catering wing for the Assembly Rooms in the 19th century, before becoming a pub. This historic pub is Grade II listed and has been a Fullers house since 2010. The interior is welcoming and cosy, divided into several interlinked rooms, with a bar area at the front leading to intimate dining rooms and a further elegant dining room upstairs. The décor is quintessentially British pub, with rich dark wood panelling, brass fittings, framed prints, small historic details, and etched glass and mirrors. There are delightful features throughout, including fireplaces, but my favourite is the glorious oval glass Benskins Brewery sign. The beer selection is solid, offering premium lagers, local London brews, and three cask ales. I opted for an Amstel; my pint was excellent, though the price point was on the high side. Food-wise, it’s classic gastropub fare: fish and chips cost £24, and roasts take centre stage on Sundays. I arrived just after 12pm on a pleasant Friday lunchtime in November. The pub had just opened with half a dozen or so punters arriving at the same time. The atmosphere was calm and convivial set to a relaxing Jazz soundtrack. The service was first class, the team on duty were welcoming and friendly. Although this pub is located in central London, it feels like you’re in a village inn in the middle of nowhere. While the pub is geared towards gastro punters, I would 100% recommend a visit to wet your whistle. History, ambience, a solid selection of beers, and warm, welcoming surroundings make for an immersive London pub experience. This is a must visit London pub.

The historical appearance of the building, It felt old-fashioned and exciting from the moment I entered the entrance. The furniture and decorations are said to be of historical value and are on the CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) Pub Heritage register. The caviar I had here was a new sensation, the fish dishes were also surprisingly good. The service was very good. I would like to come back again.

We came to celebrate our lovely friend’s birthday and it was a really wonderful experience. Fabulous food expertly prepared by Head Chef Sukri at Gaucho Hampstead, great flavours, big portions and very attentive service. The restaurant was clean and the ambiance was perfect. Also I love that they had some delicious alcohol free sparkling wine to recommend, as many of us do not drink alcohol anymore. Thank you for hosting us at Gaucho. We look forward to returning again very soon with our families.

I celebrated my 23rd birthday at this branch. Our waiter for the night was Petrit. He was attentive, friendly and very hospitable. The food was up to par and the atmosphere was perfect for an evening dinner. We were greeted with a warm welcome by staff upon entering and left with the same hospitality. They made sure the dinner went smooth, checked on us frequently and even gave us free champagne to celebrate🥰I am truly grateful and show gratitude to the team for making my day even more special🩷

Did the Sunday roast! Restaurant temperature was a bit hot and stuffy. Food was good, slightly small serving size for typical roast:- - Beef pretty good - potatoes excellent, only 3 small - gravy: flavour nice, serving size needs significantly increased as the jug was tiny and half full - veg: nice but didn’t have cauliflower cheese Desert: Desert whisky Cocktail was ok Cookie dough pretty good but a bit grainy Cheesecake nice but not special Margaritas were good!
scott barlow - 2 months ago

We went for the Sunday roast, overall it was very good, couple of tweaks would be the gravy which is not very thick and could have more flavour. For dessert we shared the cookie dough, unfortunately would not recommend. It was gritty and sandy in texture with an overly sweetened taste. I’m normally a fan of half baked cookie dough but this wasn’t good. The restaurant its self was ridiculously hot and stuffy which was unpleasant however the staff were friendly and mostly attentive. There was a shift change during our lunch which meant we went from a super attentive waiter to no one at all and struggling to get service

We visited Everyman Cinema Hampstead on the 6th of December to watch Wicked, and our experience was made extra special thanks to Katie. She greeted us so warmly and was incredibly helpful from start to finish. Her friendly attitude and amazing customer service really stood out and made our visit memorable. Thank you, Katie, for being so lovely—definitely one of the best customer service experiences we’ve had! We’ll be back again soon.

We recently visited Everyman Hampstead for the first time, and having been to other Everyman cinemas before, we can confidently say this is the best one so far. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the décor gave it a warm, inviting feel. We watched our film in the main screen, which has a theatre-like setup, making the experience even more special. Unlike other Everyman cinemas, this one offers extra space between attendees, so you never feel crowded or like someone is invading your personal space. It’s a small but significant detail that enhances comfort. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, adding to the overall experience. A thoughtful touch we appreciated was that when ordering from our seats, the staff offered tap water without any pressure to buy drinks. It’s a small gesture, but it shows they genuinely care about the customer experience rather than just maximising sales. The different lounges are also a great feature, allowing you to relax while waiting. The audience was generally polite and respectful, which is probably helped by the fact that Hampstead is a more upmarket area. One thing Everyman does consistently well across all their locations is the short pre-film speech with instructions, which adds a personal touch compared to commercial cinemas. While tickets are more expensive, it’s absolutely worth it—especially for a film you’re really excited about. It’s also a perfect spot for a date night or an evening out. Highly recommended!

Smashing place to see a movie with armchair seating and fresh popped corn along with tasty barista coffee. Pricing about the same as the usual multiplex but personable service and well curated viewing list coupled with menu ordering from the pews makes it much better value.
Andy Bell - 7 months ago

Absolutely love coming to this cinema! The vibes are excellent, and the staff is always so lovely. The armchair and sofa seating, and the excellent food and cocktails really makes the experience! Definitely recommend a visit!

We rented out a screen for a private showing of ‘The Thing’ for my birthday, and the service from the staff was just wonderful from start to finish. We were warmly welcomed and our screen was fitted with plush sofas that were extremely comfy. Special thanks to both Josephine and Lottie who were just excellent! I also want to thank Claire in private hire who made the booking process super smooth, and to my lovely Ainsley, without whom this may not have even happened! Thank you folks for making my birthday extra special 🖤🖤🖤

A proper hidden gem in Hampstead. Tucked away in one of the smaller streets, this Japanese restaurant is honestly a great find. It’s quite a small place (like most things in Hampstead), but they’ve really nailed the vibe — it feels like an intimate, high-quality Japanese spot you’d stumble across in Tokyo. They’ve got a full menu — sushi, sashimi, grilled skewers, hot mains, starters, sake… the works. Everything we had tasted proper authentic, and the quality of the food was spot on. The service was also lovely — even though the place was packed, the staff were super friendly and attentive. We managed to grab a table downstairs last minute and had a brilliant time. It’s definitely not the cheapest meal, but for the quality and authenticity, I think it’s well priced. One of the best Japanese spots I’ve been to in North London, no doubt. If you’re in the area and fancy a proper Japanese meal, this one’s 100% worth a visit.

This is a hidden gem of an authentic Japanese restaurant nestled in the heart of Hampstead. The restaurant itself is quite small like many of the shops in Hampstead, but they have done an amazing job to make it an original feeling high and star Japanese barbecue restaurant. They offer a full menu, including sushi, sashimi grilled skewers, main courses, starters, and Saki. The flavours were authentic. The food was high-quality and the service was outstanding honestly I can’t fault it even though they’re very busy. We managed to grab a table downstairs last minute. I had the grilled mackerel and onion skewers which were amazing. It is not cheap but it is fairly priced especially for authentic Japanese food. This is definitely a highly recommended restaurant for Me. It’s probably one of the best Japanese restaurants in the area , honestly it’s a great spot well worth going.

The food was quite good with quite good portion size as well. Menu was versatile which actually made it difficult to choose but we were happy with our choice in the end. The miso soup, which was complimentary, was actually one of the good ones we’ve tried in London. Staff were polite and friendly which is another big plus nowadays. The only thing we did not enjoy was the atmosphere in the basement where there was no excitement to eat whatsoever. We were there for the food though so still 5 stars!
Kiril Goranov - 2 months ago

The food here is somewhat delicious but I did not find anything particularly memorable. The nigiris were good and I liked the mushroom skewer. The makis we got were nothing special, and the rest of the dishes generally lacked flavor. I also left feeling hungry but did not feel like ordering more food.

Tonight was my second time visiting this restaurant. My first visit was for my birthday last week, and I came back again tonight because the experience was so good. Both times, a staff member named Agon recommended their delicious main courses and desserts. Thanks to his warm service and positive energy, my birthday night became truly memorable. Tonight, he once again suggested their specials, and they tasted just as amazing. Great food, great atmosphere, and wonderful service, especially from Agon. I’ll definitely be coming back!

La Villa Bianca in Hampstead is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and effortlessly elegant. The food is outstanding — beautifully presented, full of flavour, and clearly made with real care and quality ingredients. Every dish we had was spot on. A special thank you to Agon, the manager, who went above and beyond to make the experience exceptional. Attentive, professional, and genuinely hospitable — service like that makes all the difference. Highly recommend La Villa Bianca for anyone looking for top-tier Italian food and flawless service in Hampstead. Will definitely be returning.

We caught up with friends for dinner here and loved it. The food was all delicious, extremely high quality Italian food. The service was impeccable. The ambiance was fun, modern, professional and yet warm -we sang happy birthday to people in the room at least 3 times :)

🇮🇹 La Villa Bianca Restaurant Review ​If you are craving authentic Italian cuisine, I highly recommend this place! ​Food: 10/10 ​Service: Excellent ​The service truly stood out. They were able to accommodate our every request, for example, changing our menu even after the order was already placed. Secondly, they fulfilled our request for a good spot/table., thanks to the manager name Christian. And also to all the waiter/waitress who are very friendly.

The staff are highly attentive and very welcoming, we had the pleasure of Marta looking after us for the evening and she was there before you even realised you needed her. We chose to share the mushroom truffle pasta as a starter. The flavours were rich and well balanced, I couldn’t recommend this dish more, it’s a pasta I will go back to villa Bianca for. For the mains we had the meat special of the night which happened to be a slow cooked beef rib. Tender, deep rich flavours, and very filling, if you happen to be there a night it is on the menu it is one not to be missed. Finishing off we decided to share a tiramisu , with all the hold rush flavours of the night, unfortunately this didn’t stand up to the rest of the menu. It is lacking in that strong coffee flavour I’ve come to love and instead tasted like a fresh cream dessert with biscuits. Beautiful to look at, but not worth the extra calories

We were late arriving at this restaurant due to a late arrival for our weekend away in London. It appealed as we love Asian food and it seemed reasonably priced. We were told clearly on arrival that the restaurant closed at 9.30pm (it was 8.45 at that point). Lovely service and very good food. Homemade dim sum was delicious. Our daughter's seabass was very tasty as was my seared tuna salad, though the tuna was only slightly overcooked. Would definitely revisit.

I was looking for a nice spot to have a meal with my brother yesterday evening and we came across Dim T in Hampstead. We were greeted by Doyin as soon as we walked through the door and she showed us to our seats and recommend some dishes to try for our meal. The food arrived quickly and was delicious. We ordered desert (which also arrived quickly) and we were very happy with our experience. This restaurant offers a very high level of customer service and offered us a lovely experience. I would highly recommend. 5/5

We had a very positive experience at Dimt, largely thanks to Karem, who provided excellent service throughout our visit. He was professional, polite, and attentive, making sure everything was clearly explained and that we were comfortable the entire time. Even though the restaurant was busy, Karem remained calm, organized, and respectful. He checked in at the right moments without being intrusive and handled everything efficiently while still maintaining a friendly attitude. It’s clear that he takes pride in his work and cares about providing good service, which really makes a difference as a guest. Experiences like this are what make us want to return. Thank you to Karem and the team at Dimt for a pleasant visit.

Excellent customer service and they honoured our voucher with no problems. Thank you Magdalena and Sienna or your hospitality!! Calamari was lovely but Pad Thai was simply ok. Toilets were clean

We went for dinner at around 8pm, the restaurant was empty apart from one table (2 people). We were shown a table were I didn’t want to sit because it was full of crumbs from previous customers. I pointed this out to the person attending but she didn’t seem interested. I noticed most of the tables were grubby. I don’t know how it has a 5 star hygiene rating.

Enjoyed a chai with oat milk and the French toast. It was lovely to sit back in the corner and people watch while drinking my chai. The atmosphere is casual and inviting. It would be difficult to entertain a large group. Better for small parties.
Rebekah Morris - 2 months ago

First time here and the location is actually great: nice little cafe in the middle of Hampstead. Unfortunately, the mushroom on toast and filtered both run out by lunchtime so I opted for poached eggs on toast. However one of the eggs was cooked, which made the toast quite difficult to enjoy. Overall, I wouldn't probably come back here: too much hype and too pricy for what you actually get.

Visited last week, ordered a oat mocha and croissant. This place now produces their own croissants and thats one of the highlights of visiting. The coffees are made with so much love and attention to detail. The vibe here is magical and I am sure thats down to good energy created by the owners.

A hidden gem in the heart of Hampstead! We stumbled upon this lovely cafe in a charming alleyway and it was the highlight of our day. The atmosphere is cozy and magical. We had the cheesecake, which was absolutely delicious, and a wonderful pot of tea. What truly made the experience special was the warm and personal service—you can really feel they care about their guests. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a peaceful spot with great vibes!

I have different ways of telling people how old I am. And one of the ways is to say that I remember when there was only one Gail’s bakery (and one Pret A Manger and one Leon for that matter). Nowadays, they’re sprouting up everywhere, even out of London I was in the area at the weekend and visited Gail’s bakery in Hampstead which is where it all started. The mothership. These days, most of us are familiar with Gail’s offerings from their many outlets and the original shop had the usual selection. There wasn’t much seating, so I got my pastry to go Great to visit a bit of culinary history
Yee Gan Ong - 5 months ago

We visited Gail’s Café and really enjoyed the cinnamon bread — it was lovely, fresh, and full of flavor. We also ordered two cappuccinos: one was great, but the other was unfortunately quite watery and inconsistent. Overall, the food was very nice, but the coffee quality could be more consistent.

Visited Sushi Hana while looking to pick up some food for my mum while she's at hospital. It's small and tucked away behind Hampstead underground station, just off the high street. They have a large menu for both takeaway and eat in, and a fridge of ready-made sushi. I picked a couple from there and also ordered a few more rolls + chicken udon for takeaway. The sushi are all handmade by chefs right in front of you, so you know it's fresh. The ones that were made to order were very nice, while the ones from the fridge were a bit more stale but still nice. The chicken udon was pretty tasty, chewy noodles and juicy chicken. They also offer different options for dietary requirements, and have lots of drinks and desserts available too. The service was quick and staff were nice and friendly. It is a bit pricey (spent £50 total) and I'd definitely recommend ordering fresh rather than picking from the fridge. But all in all, a decent meal.

The sushi was good, but the tempura was disappointing—worse than what you’d typically find at a supermarket.

Really delightful and authentic sushi in the hearts of Hampstead, just a minute walk from the station! The ingredients are super fresh and seared salmon belly & seared scallop are very delicious. The miso soup is great too! Easily one of the best Japanese food in London :) Brown rice version is available as well - really healthy!
Yiting Fan - a year ago

London has a plague of restaurants not knowing if they should cater to customers or Deliveroo drivers. Sadly, this is the latter. Food was good, but I don’t recommend going in person. £34 for one roll and a medium size bowl of Udon isn’t worth it, when you can have similar from Sushi Co in the comfort of your own home for half the price.
