Book NowAbout The Fat Cat Camden
Tucked away in an Argyle Street laneway, this courtyard retreat pairs Seven Miles espresso and stacked breakfasts with an unhurried Italian dinner trade. Locals make it a morning ritual under the shaded umbrellas, digging into corn fritters with haloumi and avocado or grabbing puppuccinos for their dogs. Come sundown, the vibe shifts to craft beer on tap, shared plates of penne arrabiata, and crisp thin-crust pizza.
- Pet-Friendly Courtyard: Four-legged companions get shaded tables, fresh water bowls, treats, and puppuccinos.
- Day-to-Night Dining: Pours Seven Miles roasts by day before turning out pasta, pizza, and regional wine by night.
- Laneway Calm: Set back in a quiet arcade courtyard shielded from main road traffic.

It's in the alley so quiet, no road noise making it rather lovely to sit outside in the sun and enjoy a meal.
