My partner & I absolutely love coming here - it simply is never a miss. I always make sure to bring my family/friends everytime they come visit. They do get a lot busy (particularly over the weekend) so hopefully you’ll be lucky enough to get a table

nice Cafe/Pub. Very friendly staff. Prices are OK. Food and drinks are very good. Most postive for me: Sitting next to the street and watching the people ;-)

A friend and I came here for a week end from France and discovered this place. Everything was awesome from the waitresses who were all nice and caring ( we did not asked for their names unfortunately), to the food that was just so good to the man we payed with! Highly recommend this place, the portions are really generous for the price and the food is good quality. Thank you for everything, hoping to see you soon ! carla

First of all, the venue design was quite fascinating. The staff was friendly and service was fast. Also the food was really delicious. You should especially try the chef's french toast. The menu is quite extensive when it comes to drinks. I'm sure you can find what you want

We stumbled upon The Lost Elephant’s Kitchen while exploring Camden Market and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our day. Tucked away among the vibrant and eclectic atmosphere of Camden, this little gem offers an authentic Italian dining experience that you wouldn’t necessarily expect to find in the heart of the market. The ambiance is warm, inviting, and cozy — a welcome contrast to the bustling energy outside. The moment we stepped in, we felt transported straight to a small Italian trattoria. The decor is simple yet charming, and there’s a genuine sense of hospitality in the air. We ordered the Penne al Pollo and Penne Arrabbiata, and both dishes were absolutely spot on. The pasta was cooked perfectly — al dente, just as it should be — and the sauces were rich, flavorful, and comforting. The Penne al Pollo had a lovely creaminess with tender, juicy pieces of chicken, while the Penne Arrabbiata delivered the perfect kick of spice without overpowering the dish. You could tell these were no ordinary plates of pasta — they were made by proper Italian chefs who know and love their craft. What made the experience even better was the warmth of the staff. Friendly, attentive, and passionate about their food, they made sure we felt well taken care of from start to finish. Overall, if you find yourself wandering through Camden Market, I highly recommend making a stop at The Lost Elephant’s Kitchen. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back — not just for the food, but for the whole experience. A true hidden gem amidst the liveliness of Camden.

I was staying in Camden during my recent trip to London and this place became my regular. The food is great and there's a lot of it! The waitstaff is so sweet and so nice. They take really good care of their customers. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a breakfast to keep you going all day
