Kentish Town is a neighbourhood built around eating well. The restaurants here are consistently rated highly, with Tonkotsu Kentish Town reaching 4.8 from over 1,100 reviews, Franco Manca and Rossella both at 4.7, and The Pineapple at 4.6 from nearly 1,900 reviews. The Parakeet and The Vine round out a serious food scene.
