Kipferl Restaurant & Patisserie - London

We really enjoyed our dinner at Kipferl yesterday. We had booked a table for 4 in advance and were given the best seats in the restaurant which was a pleasure. The service was kind, attentive and quick. The food was absolutely delicious, and I was particularly impressed by their cake selection! We are looking forward to going back soon.

This was my first experience with Austrian food, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. It’s a cozy, small café-restaurant style spot in Camden Passage, just off Upper Street. The starter was a nice beetroot tris: quite flavorful and tangy, sprinkled with grated pistachios.

The main, Tiroler Gröstl, was a mix of fried potatoes, beef, bacon, fresh leafy vegetables, and a fried egg. Unfortunately, the beef was quite dry and lacked flavor. For the side, I had a cold, tangy potato salad. I personally prefer fried or hot potatoes, so this wasn’t my cup of tea.

To finish, I had a slice of chocolate cake and an almond tart for dessert. Both were quite dry and sugary. Their traditional Austrian beer was quite nice, though, and the male staff was friendly!

A worthy dedication to Austrian cuisine that diversifies London's restaurant range. Come at least every now and again for a reminder of apple strudel and Sachertorte. Ample seating inside and out, but busy at the weekends.

Hearty beef goulash with freshly made spätzle, just what was needed on a chilly January evening! Washed down with a pint of Stiegl Goldbräu. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. This was a delightful unexpected find, and I will definitely be returning soon!

Had Saturday lunch at Kipferl, we shared a chicken schnitzel which was excellent. I loved the sides and potato salad was good but had too much vinegar to my personal taste.
One of the waitress was great and quick service. I tried affogato, but wouldnt recommend. All other desserts looked amazing so worth trying. We were to full to try more. They have a good selection of wines too and an awesome outside area so if it’s warmer Id recommend staying outside.

P.s. bathroom could use a little cleaning

What can i say... This place became my safe place. Once you enter, you feel home, the staff is so so kind, I've never been in a place where people treat you so well like at Kipferl. The food is really good and everything is worthy. Thank you so much.

Situated in a hidden but very pretty passage in Islington, Kipferl is a small but cozy restaurant and patisserie serving traditional, authentic Austrian dishes. The food selection is a little small but carefully chosen, and the wine and cake selection is pretty large. Staff are very kind and helpful, especially the two waiters who helped me with my cake order both over the phone and in the restaurant. All the cakes in the patisserie look delicious and the few I have tried have been fantastic. If you come looking to buy a cake or other delicatessen items, it is advised to ring ahead of time to check or instead order online as not all items are available in store.

Really enjoyed the cosy atmosphere with super tasty Austrian food, and the fact that you don’t have to miss out as a veggie/vegan makes it even better! The team were attentive and kind, checking in with us regularly and greeting us with a smile.

Will have to come back for the cakes, they looked delicious!
