Kipferl is an Austrian restaurant and patisserie at 20 Camden Passage in Angel. Established in 2003, it brings the warmth and pace of a Viennese coffee house to Islington, offering a comfortable place for breakfast, brunch, coffee, cake, lunch and dinner throughout the week.
Wiener Schnitzel is pounded thin and fried to order, while slow cooked goulash, Alpine Käsespätzle and Austrian sausages provide other substantial classics. Seasonal specials draw on farmhouse and coffee house traditions, giving regular guests additional dishes beside the familiar national favourites.
The patisserie counter is central to the experience and displays Sachertorte, Apfelstrudel, Vanillekipferl and other cakes made by hand. These sweets can finish a full meal or stand alone with carefully prepared espresso, making an afternoon visit as characteristic of Kipferl as dinner.
Austrian wines include crisp Grüner Veltliner and red Zweigelt, while beer, herbal Almdudler and other soft drinks broaden the choice. A terrace adds outdoor seating in Camden Passage, and bookings, collection and cake delivery allow guests to enjoy the restaurant and bakery in several different ways.
Address: 20 Camden Passage, Angel, London N1 8ED, United Kingdom
