wine, ambiance and café culture

Brunch, coffee, lunch and dinner — we've got you covered.

Using the highest quality ingredients — like fresh wild Cornish fish, straight from the boats to our doors daily — everything is homemade right here in our cosy kitchen.

Once a month, our music dinners pair delicious food with intimate concerts by exceptional artists — undoubtedly West Hampstead's best-kept secret!

What's the history of 242 West End Lane? Find out why we called it The Wet Fish Cafe.

We look forward to welcoming you.

A Day in the Life

" A dream local that never disappoints; this all-day café and brasserie in West Hampstead provides lovely service and some cool tunes create a nice vibe. Set in a converted 1930s fishmonger - hence the name - it majors in delicious fresh fish from Cornwall, cooked to perfection, which is also available as, yes, wet fish for home consumption. Love it any time of day - brunch, coffee, lunch and dinner. Prices are reasonable, too. It's on my doorstep - jealous yet? "
