Imagine settling into a plush seat, wrapped in a soft fur, while the gentle glow of outdoor heating surrounds you, savouring lashings of Meule of des alpes & 36 month aged Comté, served with crusty French bread, cornichons & salad frisée.

Superb experience last night. We were 7 and had cocktails wine and 3 courses. The chicken livers were delicious, steak tartar could have been more seasoned. Duck confit fabulous and the peas & leeks were divine. Excellent dauphinois though not huge portions. Overall fabulous and lovely service. Heartily recommended

Although the menu is quite limited and doesn't change much Patron has been a firm favourite of ours for a number of years. The extension has helped give the place extra charm. Service was excellent as was the food.

Wonderful French onion soup followed by a monkfish main dish with crusty bread to enjoy the sauce. Had a glass of red wine at happy hour price before 6 that was good. A neighborhood gem with great food. The food was nicely cooked with flair, and good value, worth traveling to Kentish Town for a nice bistro/ intimate restaurant meal.

From the wonderfully winter-lit frontage, to the beautifully curated interior, in its very tastefully varied forms, you ask, can the food and service possibly hope to match this? Well, it most certainly does. Please don’t make the rash mistake I did, and worry the menu isn’t extensive enough. Also do not leave without at least looking at the huge bowl of chocolate mouse, and try to resist it when you do. Oh, and the duck and the onion soup, are off the clock. As are the dauphinois (starter AND side).

It’s a charming restaurant with great service but the food was mediocre and the chips worse than Mac Donald’s! Definitely not good value for money as the menu seemed pretentious but not meeting the expectations that it created!
Patron Restaurant - Kentish TownResponded on December 22, 2024
Hi Helen. I am shocked to hear about your experience - the duck confit you had is our signature dish. We take our food very seriously, so I wish we could have resolved this on the night for you. Our menu is short, seasonal, and with produce delivered daily, it changes regularly with dishes cooked from only the freshest ingredients. If you do decide to dine with us again, I sincerely hope we can make it up to you.
