"So I went to Hache in two minds, not sure if I wanted a burger meal for lunch and came away feeling satisfied with my choice at the end. I had looked up 'interesting places to eat at Camden Town ' on Google and Hache 's name had been within the top 10 and so my friend and I decided to try it out. Locating the street where Hache is, on a Saturday afternoon was easy enough, but finding a spot to park the car was not. We found a place, but it was a bit of a walk. The restaurant facade is non-assuming and they put out a small black board with the Hache name outside. There are a couple of interesting places around it which seem worth exploring too. Even for a bright spring afternoon, the place is quite dark inside. Finding our table took a second. The place is small and on busy evenings, I would expect a queue. The menu is the same as that on their website, except that the lamb burger is missing. I ordered the chicken and bacon havana club burger. My friend went for a steak mexican. The burgers do not come with fries and need to be separately ordered. We had the 'Hache Frites ' which is skinny fries. My burger was very good by itself. The avocados provided a very interesting texture in a traditional grilled chicken burger. I liked it. The fries were crispy. They do not provide any house mayonnaise or dips with the fries. These need to be separately ordered. Overall, I would say the place is worth a visit if you are in the Camden area, but not worth making a special plan just for it. I have had better burgers in London for the same price."

"Food was severely lacking in flavour, quality and general appeal. I saw this place online and looked great, although the overall customer service was of a high standard with kind and attentive waiters/waitresses, the food took us off guard. We ordered a rib eye steak (requested as medium rare but arrived extremely well done), 2x bland chicken steaks and a chewy little lamb steak, all with a far from generous helping of garlic sauce. It hurts me to see such a great cut of beef which claims to be marbled, to be disrespected by the way this was cooked. Unfortunately the excessively large cut chips were also poor company to sad looking slabs of meat that lay centrepiece to the dishes. The whole meal was served on a bed of over boiled noodles sticking to a dangerously hot plate, making the steak difficult to cut as it tries to balance itself on gelatinous pile of noodles (I would’ve much preferred they serve me a pot noodle). The overcompensating 2 inch platform of a plate that the meal was served on did no favours to the food, and the “sizzler” element seemed to only be reflected through the excess smoke and noise that went on too long. The side of veggies reminded me of an unseasoned, depressing, microwaved bowl of carrots and peas pulled through a frozen bag straight from a freezer in Iceland. The general taste and execution of this meal was extremely poor, I couldn’t recommend this establishment to anyone, the only saving grace from my experience was the cleanliness of the venues, and politeness of the staff. And as much as it pains me to say, the best part of the meal was the jarritos cola. I cannot express my disappointment enough, as I had hyped myself up all week thinking this meal would be worth the wait, unfortunately I had never been so wrong. 1/10"
