While exploring the area, I had a lovely lunch at Oak and Poppy, Hampstead, London NW3. It’s a contemporary all-day bar and kitchen serving Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner to Hampstead locals. The food is globally inspired with a great mix of Vegan Burgers, Boa Buns, Peri Peri Chicken, Fish Tacos and healthy Salads. Their Desserts are extra special, and they have some excellent Cocktails; need I say more? If you’re looking for the best places for lunch in Hampstead, healthy food in NW3 or dinner near Hampstead Station, you’ll be super impressed with Oak and Poppy.
“Oak and Poppy is a delightful contemporary and casual dining spot where you can sample global flavours in beautiful surroundings, the perfect place to catch up with your best friend,” Homegirl London.
Oak And Poppy Lunch And Dinner Menu
Start with Small Plates like Mac and Cheese Croquettes, Nori Taco, Fish Taco, Pulled Beef Quesadillas, Duck Bao Bun or a Crispy Shrimp Cocktail. I wish I wasn’t dining alone because I wanted to share the Crudités and Crispbread with Aubergine and Hummus Dip. The Mezze Plate was also tempting with Falafel, Halloumi Sticks, Dips, Turmeric Couscous and Flat Bread.
Classic Mains feature Half Per Peri Chicken, Maple and Soy Glazed Salmon, Lemon Sole and Steak with Fries. I could have tried the Fresh Tagliarini with Dried Chillies, Garlic and Pangrattato (Bread Crumbs). After some deliberation, I went for the Plant-based Sliders with Fries. The two cute small-size Burgers slid down relatively quickly, and so did the fries!! Those wanting something healthy can opt for Quinoa Salad, Chopped Salad, Creek Corn Salad, Rose Harissa Cauliflower or Seared Tuna Poke Bowl.
I spotted someone eating the Pecan Pie, which looked so delicious that I just had to order it. Wow, it was the best I’ve ever tasted, and it worked beautifully with the Sated Caramel Ice Cream. I bet the Pain Perdu and Sticky Toffee Pud were just as good. When I saw the Desserts to Share List, it was another reason to wish I had a dining companion! I missed out on the Nutella-filled Mini Donuts with Chocolate Dipping Sauce, Butter Milk Hotcakes with Ricotta and Blueberry Compote and Half Baked Cookie Dough with Ice Cream.
