La Patagonia is a family run Argentine restaurant on Camden High Street, founded in 2010 to share the food and hospitality its owners grew up with. The informal dining room is shaped by that personal connection to Argentina, from its decor to the traditional recipes prepared in the kitchen.
The charcoal parrilla is at the centre of the cooking. Premium beef sourced from Argentina is grilled slowly and simply, allowing the quality of the meat and the flavour of the fire to remain the focus rather than covering them with unnecessary additions.
The menu reaches beyond steak to the dishes found in an Argentine neighbourhood restaurant. Empanadas, milanesas and homemade sorrentinos bring pastry, crumbed meat and fresh pasta into the meal, while vegetable options from the grill give groups more ways to share the experience.
Argentine wine, including bottles from Mendoza, is a natural partner for the parrilla, and traditional desserts complete the progression. Fresh preparation and carefully sourced ingredients give La Patagonia the feel of a local barrio restaurant translated thoughtfully to Camden.
Address: 31 Camden High Street, London NW1 7JE, England
