great tapas
We took some overseas guests to Bar Gansa and it was a resounding success. The restaurant was a lot less crowded than I'd expect on a Thursday night, and the staff were very friendly. Service was quick.

The tapas is as good as any I've had in the UK, doing the classics well (patatas bravas, gambas al ajillo) and also offering some other interesting dishes such as a salad with Manchego and orange.

Eating plenty of tapas, with 1/2 beers each came to around £20 per person (including service charge). Recommended for a fast, tasty meal with atmosphere in Camden.

great local Italian
The ice-cream is great, but let's not forget about the restaurant. This is a local, family type place, cheep and cheerful but really good, basic Italian. Their linguine al scoglio is fantastic, and they do pretty good pizzas as well. I wouldn't bother with the starters, but for a great plate of pasta or pizza with some house red wine, it's a winner.
Plus, the dessert menu is gigantic and you can invent your own sundaes. Coconut ice-cream with ginger pieces was a recent one of mine.
