Local eats

A brief post to praise The Green Room, the new(ish) restaurant on Broadhurst Gardens.  With warm service, excellent food and attractive decor, it is easily the best place to eat out in West Hampstead.  Reviews are available from Time Out and the Ham & High.

More prosaically, the new West End Lane branch of Strada is attracting favourable comment.  Again, the Ham & High has been hard at work sampling the culinary fare of NW6.

Swimming in pizza

The Camden New Journal gives a puff to the imminent opening in West End Lane of Strada, a pizza and pasta chain. Apparently this brings to eight the number of pizza joints in West Hampstead. I must say I hadn't noticed. When it comes to pizza, the only game in town is Pizza Express. La Brocca is ok for a change, but I much prefer their pasta.
