Belsize Park is a settled, residential corner of Camden where the dining options are modest in number but notably high in quality, centred on a few well-regarded pubs and a Japanese presence that gives the area a slightly unexpected edge. Prices are more accessible than the setting suggests given the postcode, making it a good choice for a relaxed meal that doesn't require much planning. Belsize Park station on the Northern line puts you a short walk from the best of it.
