Esca

After many years as a much-loved neighbourhood café and delicatessen, Esca has matured into a proper restaurant. A sister to the equally loved Eco Pizzeria next door, Esca is a chic, modern space with long communal tables and seats at a copper bar. The orders of the day tend to be platters of fish and meat fresh from the chargrill, as well as cute mini burgers in brioche buns that are freshly baked at their Camden bakery. Cocktails are spot on – they’ve a good range of botanicals to make something really hit the spot – but there’s also a tidy organic and biodynamic wine list too.
