Walk down Camden passage and you are safely shielded by the chain hell that Upper Street has become and The Elk in The Woods is integral to this. This is a rustic restaurant with big solid tables (taking the Elk and Wood themes literally) The food is good with very generous portions and the emphasis is on good quality fresh produce and lots of meat. This is a great date place a little quirky and something that is still independent amongst the Pizza and Burger chains up this way. Alternatively fuel up here before you head down to Essex road and party the night away. Either way this is the sort of restaurant that you will probably go to again and again out of convenience and its consistency

I love this place! Located just off Upper Street on Camden Passage this little rustic up-market gastro is perfect for Sunday afternoon red wine drinking. The Elk in the Woods food is generally great- my favourite dishes include: the rib-eye steak, the vegetable platter which is huge and roast belly pork sandwich with apple sauce. I would definately recommend booking as it can get really busy- the atmosphere is chilled out and there is a quite a cosy feel to it and the barmen are certainly easy on the eye!

I've been in here a number of times for lunch and whenever I walk past it's always close to full, which is generally a good sign. They serve a kind of upmarket pub lunch, or what I would call "Rustic", but that might be the decor influencing my opinion of the food. I especially recommend the sandwiches, and the platters.
