   The menu looked wonderful being full of traditional French dishes, so we were full of anticipation. However the meat in the Bouef Bourguignon was tough and not best quality, and the Coq au Vin was surprisingly lacking in flavour. However we both enjoyed the seafood linguine starter. For us, it didn’t live up to the positive ratings we found on line before booking.

   This is a charming, unpretentious restaurant. In each course there are several interesting dishes to choose from. The food is good. We arrived early for lunch and the small room was quiet. By the time our main course was served every other table was occupied and the noise had become a problem. I had dinner here on a midweek evening when only 2 other tables were taken. I thought, “I’ll never dine anywhere else again.”

   It was a pleasant lunch with nice food. I had 2 issues however: First, when we arrived at 12 midday, half an hour after the restaurant says that it is open, there were people coming and going fetching and carrying laundry from the back of the restaurant out through the front door. That was bad enough but the door was required to be open for this, on a cold day, and we felt the cold from our table (in fact looking round the restaurant I could not see a single table that would not be affected by this, or we would have asked to be moved). This was not the only time that goods were transported through the restaurant, as there was another delivery that arrived half way through our meal. We felt we were in a passage rather than a restaurant. I imagine there is no back door to the restaurant through which all this transporting of goods could take place, but that is not our problem - we want to come to a restaurant with a nice ambiance. Maybe with this problem, the items could be delivered at another time - a bit of thought might resolve the problem. The other issue was that our puddings were served to us at different times. There was a gap of about 10 minutes between the first 2 and the last 2 puddings coming to our table of 4. Mine, as one of the first, was a hot pudding which exacerbated the situation as I was anxious it would cool down. Neither of these issues are what I would expect from a restaurant of this class.

   I wouldn't recommend La Cage if they were vegetarian and wanted the set menu as there was only one choice. Pasta and sauce doesn't feel very creative or inventive. That said the sauce had a good flavour. Portion sizes were much too big for me and I felt very uncomfortable waisting food. The staff and ambience were very pleasant.

   Always a fantastic experience at La Cage. The food is incredible and the staff are lovely and attentive. A very reasonable price especially in Hampstead! It’s a true local gem and well worth going to if you’re in the area!

    As a place to try once, with a charming setting in the heart of Hampstead, La Cage Imaginaire is worth a visit. The restaurant is cramped in its every corner, which clearly makes it a nightmare at busy periods for the waiting staff, and the kitchen struggles at busier times. Being served at the end of a long Saturday evening meant that, for us, our mains and desserts were of variable quality and freshness -- the fresher dishes suggesting that the restaurant at its best is very good indeed. It simply does not have the space it needs to cater for the numbers it aspires to serve. The menu is varied -- possibly too much so, given the cramped quarters in the kitchen -- and the wine list is impressive. I would imagine that the restaurant is at its best when it is half-full on a rainy lunchtime -- but that may not be a sustainable business model for the owners, who seem to be trying their best in a restaurant that is simply too small to deliver on its ambitions.
