This place is absolutely brand new, just off Camden High Street, diagonally opposite my fave pub the Crown and Goose.
As the blurb on their website says, 'Caponata is a family-run Sicilian Ristorante, Osteria and Bar with the added attraction of a live music venue at The Forge next door’.
It had been in development for ages and now it’s opened, it’s huge (check out the room plan etc on their website). But happily most of that room is open space - high ceilings (esp in the courtyard), well spaced out tables and a really relaxed feel.
I only went in for a coffee but am very excited about going back to try the food - the menu was short, looked really interesting and was surprisingly well priced (it looks like it will be really expensive). Plus the wine list looked superb. The staff have the eagerness of a newly opened place and were ultra friendly and happy to accommodate us. The coffee and biscotti were excellent, plus they made little hearts in the milk froth on my cappucino which I loved (it’s the little things…)
I really really hope this place works - it’s so sad to see new gorgeous places like this not very full. In fact, I’m going to go back this weekend. Especially if they have some live music on in the adjacent music venue.

Wonderful cafe in the small gardens of Red Lion Square, an oasis between Holborn and Southampton Row. Sit back and relax with falafel or a panini, or just good coffee and a cake. The garden is small and pleasant, with plenty of statues and busts of famous humanists / secularists / freethinkers. Open all week and some weekends, depending on the weather and if there’s events going on nearby, like a concert in Conway Hall. Highly recommend, especially for a lovely sunny afternoon.

Like what I imagine an American hospital to be like. Giant, sparkling clean, no overcrowding, super helpful and professional doctors and nurses. Definitely the place to head if you’re feeling poorly. And all for free. Long live the NHS.

Little cafe round the corner from Euston Square station - and positioned right on the main road. Not sure why we decided to come here to sit outside and experience the Euston Road that close up but there we are! Short cafe menu with a few Italian specialities for lunch, nice and cheap, friendly staff and surprisingly good coffee. Perfect for a noisy before work bacon sandwich.

So glad we found this place. Hardly anywhere good to drink round these parts but this pub is great. Looks small from outside but is actually pretty spacious and spread over 3 floors with a beer garden area upstairs. Plenty of choice of drinks and my friend says the food is really good too. Will be back here many times.
