One of the simplest pleasures of a weekend in London is heading out for a long and leisurely brunch. After a stressful working week, it’s the perfect way to relax, unwind and indulge in some delicious cuisine – and when it comes to options in the capital, you’re spoilt for choice.
In fact, in the sea of popular brunch spots scattered across the city, it isn’t always easy to stand out, but every so often, a new concept can’t help but catch our eye. And recently, the authentic Italian brunch being served up at Casa Tua in Camden Town did just that, quickly making its way to the top of our list of places to try next.
Camden Town is known for its bustling market and amazing nightlife, attracting numerous tourists each year with attractions such as London Zoo, the Jazz Café, the Amy Winehouse Statue, Koko, and many more. But if there’s one thing it’s more famous for, it’s its mouthwatering foodie scene, and Casa Tua has quickly begun to garner a reputation as the hottest brunch spot in town.

More than just hype
With its delicious and authentic food and hand-selected wines, Casa Tua isn’t exactly new – in fact, it has been serving up noteworthy cuisine since it first opened back in 2013. But in that time, it has amassed a loyal clientele who come back regularly for more – and it never ceases to surprise and delight with new and inspired menus that always stay true to its Italian roots.
Online customer feedback about the restaurant is overwhelmingly positive, which clearly suggests that Casa Tua is not just overhyped. The food really is delicious, and the atmosphere is both welcoming and sophisticated in equal measures – so it certainly sounds like it ticks all the boxes to us.
