A Day in the Life

Harden's rated restaurant in West Hampstead

" 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? "

"...accessible but imaginative cooking"
