Cafe Fresco in City of London, Westminster - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Wandering round London looking for somewhere to have a proper breakfast we stumbled across this gem of a cafe. The most delightful lady served us, nothing was too much trouble, we created our own breakfasts from the menu and they were delicious. All served with a smile and a nothing is too much trouble attitude. Refreshingly perfect!

In the back streets of Victoria Cafe Fresco can be spotted. It is an massive cafe which can get very busy. If I am to comment on the food I must say it is the best cafe in Victoria. Unfortunately that’s the only positive about this cafe. The staff here are extremely extremely rude but the worst part about this place which is the unethical prices. The staff here overcharge you when you pay. I order the same meal in this cafe every week and get charged a different price. If I am being perfectly honest with you I’d watch the amount the staff charge you here because they are criminals do not come to this cafe if you want to experience such poor behaviour from staff. My office colleagues and I have decided against coming here ever again.

I visited here with a few colleagues from work. I ordered the chicken kebab meal which was about £9.50. You getcalot for your money plate was full with large pieces of chicken, pitta bread, salad and chips. I couldn't finish off which was a shame because the chicken was really tasty. I've been here a few times before and had an omelette with chips for about £5 (2 fillings of your choice), you get quite a big omelette and a decent amount of chips. Service could be faster as sometimes I have been sat there for quite a while before some comes to take our order or we have had to go up to the counter to let them know we're ready to order.

I've been coming here for over 2 yrs at least once a month. Excellent food and attention, however, they have now decided to charge for the coffee separate. Which pushes price up by 40%. Understand prices need to go up but this is a bad move. My last visit today unfortunately.

Just walked by it. Doesnt look much from the outside. Food was a little bit better than expected. The big takeaway was the good and friendly service.

I eat here quite regularly after a night out in Central London. Always hits the spot with good basic English breakfast and very helpful attentive manager/owner.

Its not easy to compete with strutton ground but this narrow sandwich house for the locals does well

If you can be bothered to walk 3 minutes south of Victoria Street you can escape the overpriced chain eateries and get to an area where there are so many cafes I wonder how they survive. We found this one open on a Sunday afternoon. It looked as though the owners were there (do they work 7 days a week?). Perhaps because of the competition, the food was great, the service was quick (and friendly) and the prices are very low. I don't know why anyone would go to a Costa, a Pret - or any of the other big names when you can eat like a king for very little at these excellent independent London cafes.

Ordered Country breakfast but had the temerity to ask for mushrooms instead of chips. The only place where this was met with difficulty. Could do no chips but mushrooms would be extra as boss didn't like it. In the end they changed it but begrudgingly. Beans were cold, my one egg was well underdone and the mushrooms just tasted weird. Yes I ate the lot I'm polite and British and was hungry and didn't want to cause a scene. Then when we came to pay the person who I think was the boss was rude and was put out as we wanted to pay separately. Only went because the excellent XLNT cafe round the corner was packed and others were closed. Would not go back again.

Had full breakfast and tea, was very quick and the place was clean and tidy, had wifi too. I'd recommend this place as a good basic cafe.

It was a full house but they still managed to arrange a table for us. Love the guy behind counter. Everything was like orchestra. Staff was great as a food. Special Piri Piri ,Club sandwich etc was excellent. Great job guys.

Popped in with work 7 of us , lovely welcome sorted us out a large table Nice smiley waiter Good food jab full Monty , lovely frothy coffee Reasonable prices , unrushed , would recommend 👍

The country breakfast was outstanding, the service prompt and the staff friendly I was on a management course next door at the Regus and the breakfast kept me energised all day.

I was welcomed when I walked in and asked if I wanted to eat in or take away. I was eating in and taken straight to a table and was given a menu and told someone would be with me to take an order soon. The menu was extensive and reasonably priced I paid £2.40 for two slices of toast, 2 poached eggs. I also had a cup of tea which was in a large cup which I appreciated. (£1.20). Service was speedy and paying easy. All in all a good experience.

Visited here on Sunday and have to say it is a great find. Quite busy when we arrived but staff were very prompt. Ordered breakfast .....a little unusual coming with chips but great value at £4.95 with a tea or coffee. Food was well cooked and served hot. One order requested was eggs served on brown toast but came on white and this was promptly rectified and returned with fresh eggs. Good variety to choose from on the menu. The breakfasts here set you up for the day and great value for money. Would definitely return!

Lugar perfecto para una comida rápida, buena. Bien situado para autobuses turísticos y a una corta distancia a pie de los autobuses Victoria St donde a todas partes.

La comida no es muy buena. Es relativamente barato, pero sin duda no merece la pena. El personal es bastante gruñón. El café es el peor.

Super food, massive portions, low prices! Club sandwich and fries was £5.50. Seating in the sun outside too, true to the name.

Great little cafe just off Victoria Street. Service is always quick and the food is very good. Highly recommend for a breakfast or lunch

Just delicious freshest ingredients and great service. Lush. Everything was gorgeous I had Bacon sandwich with best Bacon I've had ever. Not greasy just great.

If you are looking for a really good full on breakfast then this is your place. A plate full of very decent food with inclusive mug of tea and toast all for less than 5.50 GBP and in the middle of London, open on a Sunday as well, come on its unbeatable, can't wait to go back. It was reassuring to see the police sitting down to eat so it must be good and you won't get your bag nicked.

The manager guy in this place is extremely rude. The meal I had was simple and served late. and i also got burned toast. Another think I hate is if everything on the plate is mixed up, like chips in the egg, beans everywhere.

Found this little gem whilst arriving early in Westminster for an exhibition. Needed a good breakfast to set me up for the day and this place certainly gave me that. Good hot food, plentiful and all at a very good price

If in the Victoria area of London, head to here for the best value breakfast or brunch in the city. The "full monty" (ask for hash browns instead of chips) comes with toast and tea or coffee for under £5 and is outstanding. Big, airy place with lots of tables and a view of historic Grey Coat Place. My regular haunt for years now. Nowhere else in town comes close.
