Lemonia is a large, light-filled Greek taverna on Regent’s Park Road, the village street of Primrose Hill, and has long been a neighbourhood favourite. The menu covers mezze, grilled meats, fish and Cypriot dishes, served in a room full of plants. It makes a good lunch stop before or after climbing Primrose Hill for the view. Chalk Farm station is about five minutes’ walk away. Booking is recommended at weekends.
