Having been to the Caribbean a few times, I have to say that this place is the closest you will get to authenticity! What with the fantastic jerk chicken and wonderful selection of rums, you're guaranteed to have a great time!

I've been to a few Caribbean restaurants, and think Cottons' reign supreme. I've never had any complaints here, my favourite dish is the Jerk Platter.

A fantastic array of rums and lively environment.

Cottons have now opened another restaurant in Islington, in an ex-pub, although this isn't as lively, the food is just as good, and its easier to park the car.

Cottons´ entrance on Chalk Farm Road (close to both Camden Town and Chalk Farm tube stations) is deceptively modest. Once inside, the restaurant features a lavish bar area which leads to 3 delightful dining rooms (Margarita, St. Lucia and Barbados). Each room has been individually designed and decorated to capture the tropical ambience of the West Indies.

As soon as you walk in you can feel the Caribbean vibes in Cottons where the food is hot and the atmosphere chilled! The environment at the bar is lively and they have a huge selection of fantastic rum.

So what about the food?

With strong, modern presentation and flavours, the ingredients dance between traditional Caribbean & Modern European. So although there is a wide range of jerked dishes, from pork ribs to chicken and entire mixed grills of jerk meat and fish, you will also find smoked marlin on a bed of braised leeks and passion fruit dressing.

The vegetarian choice is also good, while huge portions are just the ticket after a hard day´s bargain hunting in Camden Market over the road!
