Awesome chips!

October 30, 2008

The Elk in the Woods has a kind of hunting lodge theme that carries on into the meat heavy menu. It's the only place I've been to that serves zebra for example.

It's pricey and more a treat place than a regular haunt but it does have the best chips in London: double-fried with the skins. Mmmmm.

Surprisingly good

June 06, 2008

Ive only been to this place once and I didnt plan to come here. Me and my friend headed for the Breakfast Club for a late sat breakfast but with about 12 people already waiting outside and us being starving we just couldnt wait. The Elk In The Woods is just next too and they had a table free so we ended up in there. It doesnt look like your typical breakfast place and even tho they have your typical fry up they had some more unusual options on the breakfast menu too. I ended up going for the fennel and pepper scone with black olive tapenade, grilled mushrooms, grated parmesan and rocket. Delicious! I had cleared my plate in about 4 min and could easily have squeezed down one more. The only thing that let this place down was the time we had to wait for our food, a good 45 min is a bit too long for my liking. Overall a really nice place tho.

Fab mojitos

If you want the best mojito in Islington head to the Elk in The Woods, tucked away down Camden Passage. It does attract big crowds so if you want to eat it's best to book.

Bloody Mary!

The Elk in the Woods is a great Sunday Brunch spot. Excellent bloody marys, great fry up -- casual atmosphere. Ticks all the right boxes for me.
