Von Crumb is a schnitzel café at 202 Haverstock Hill, close to Belsize Park. The restaurant builds its identity around a familiar comfort food while presenting it in a bright, contemporary café format for lunch, dinner and casual drinks.
Schnitzel is the focus, cooked for a crisp crumb and offered as a full plate or tucked into a sandwich. Soft challah bread, fresh salads and strongly flavoured sauces bring contrast to the cutlets and let diners choose between a substantial meal and something easier to eat on the move.
The compact menu keeps attention on the quality of the core dish while allowing different combinations of protein, bread, vegetables and condiments. Sides and salads make it straightforward to build a shared table or add freshness to the richer crumbed main event.
Coffee gives Von Crumb the feel of a daytime café, while cocktails extend the mood into the evening. Open from Tuesday to Sunday, it works equally well for a quick schnitzel sandwich, an unhurried neighbourhood meal or a casual catch up over food and drinks.
Address: 202 Haverstock Hill, London NW3 2AG, England
