Located at The Oren on West Heath Road, Wilde Restaurant is a refined dining destination in leafy Hampstead, offering a unique blend of modern British cuisine with a Nordic influence. Led by Executive Chef Igor Sapega, Wilde draws inspiration from the raw beauty of nearby Hampstead Heath and the pristine environments from which its ingredients are sourced.
The menu is seasonal and inventive, combining forest flavours and coastal freshness with reimagined English classics. Starters include dishes like Scallop’s Nest with crisp potato and caviar, Burnt Asparagus with Hollandaise and cured egg, and Beetroot Gravad Lax with creamy dill and baby potatoes. Mains feature standout options such as Sole Walewska with duchesse potatoes and truffle, Nordic Fish & Chips, and a 7.8oz Ribeye Steak served with peppercorn sauce and Oren’s salad.
Wilde’s dining style is casual and elegant, with interiors that reflect Scandinavian minimalism - clean lines, natural textures, and warm lighting. The restaurant is ideal for romantic dinners, special occasions, and pre-concert meals, thanks to its proximity to North London’s music venues.
Open for lunch Tuesday to Friday, and dinner Friday and Saturday, Wilde offers a curated wine list, craft cocktails, and gluten-free and vegan options. The venue also features a chef’s table, wheelchair access, and street parking nearby.
With its thoughtful menu, serene ambiance, and commitment to quality, Wilde has quickly become a hidden gem in Hampstead’s dining scene. Whether you're seeking a quiet lunch or an elegant evening out, Wilde delivers a sophisticated yet approachable experience rooted in nature and creativity.
