Cantine at Camden Art Centre is set in a modernist glass cafe framed by a secluded garden and extensive terrace with covered and open air seating. We serve artisan coffee and tea, patisserie, lunch, and natural wine and beer. All food is freshly made using quality ingredients. We mostly serve vegan, vegetarian and gluten free dishes and sparingly serve meat and fish.

A place for art and artists, Cantine at Camden Art Centre is now available to host bar and bat mitzvahs, wedding and civil partnership receptions and other celebrations. Cantine offers a seasonal and bespoke menu catering to all dietary requirements - most notably vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and kosher observant dishes and drinks.

Food is good and fresh ingredients but ambience and seating is more "cafe" like so the prices seem a bit too high.

A charming space with a tranquil outdoor patio and garden, and utterly delicious, generously portioned food. The wines are also very elegant and well chosen by the talented team. Think of this as a worthwhile place to visit for the delicious food alone, but that just happens to have a progressive art gallery attached.
