Caffe Concerto New Stratford in Newham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Booked a table online for 1pm, was waiting outside for ages before we got begrudgingly given a table which turned out to be extremely wobbley. Slow service, nothing came out together just at random. we ordered arancini balls which came out extremely burned we questioned this with the waitress Modesta who looked at us, then the food and literally walked away without saying anything, we then told this to the manager who just told us she was busy. absolutely dreadful service

Food hard and cold. SERVICE POOR. Most staff didn't know the menu at all and had to keep confirming order, and still wrong. Staff had no idea what was in the afternoon teas the different choices in sides. Spend your money else where

Awful service. Empty restaurant. Plates not cleared from table. Our first course plates stayed on our table even after our dessert was served. Tea served no sugar or condiments offered. The audacity to charge so much and leave dirty plates on customers tables as they are dessert.. one of servers was sorting cutlery for a whole 90 mins - the noise he generated was exceptional - zero class dining

It was utterly terrible, it took 45 minutes for our food to arrive and when it did, it was wrong! They took another 10 minutes to get it right and it was mediocre at best! It was an abysmal experience.

Called in for breakfast and sadly won’t be visiting again. It started off well, a lovely man called Usman, who initially indicated as we didn’t have a reservation he couldn’t accommodate us inside, but could outside, (we declined, it was freezing) asked us to wait and found us a table inside. Breakfast is on the more expensive side, at £17 for a vegan breakfast and £17 for a salt beef breakfast but it’s such a beautiful looking restaurant we were happy to pay as we appreciate the area and quality food, coffee is £4.95. Our food arrived and the beans, in separate pots were cold, as in freezing cold like they had been poured in from the tin. My husband called the nearest member of staff, a lady called Maria. Maria asked “are you sure they are cold?” To which my husband replied “yes, I’ve just tried them” she said “they are as we serve them and no one else is complaining” And she looked around the other diners! My husband repeated we don’t eat cold beans and asked her to warm them up. She reluctantly took them away, returned quickly and said “try now” and stood there. My husband tried again and they were still cold. So he said they are still cold, she rolled her eyes and asked him to try them again! He said I have! And tried them again for a second time in front of her. To this she tutted and said “I did them myself”. I intervened at this stage as Maria was clearly not impressed with her bean warming skills being politely challenged, so, I said leave it, I looked at my husband and said just leave it, at this stage, the less than pleasant Maria said “If you want me to do them again, I will” and I said, no thank you just leave them. And leave them we did. We paid about £50 for the breakfasts, a tea and a coffee and I’m guessing an added service charge we didn’t notice before leaving. Not recommending this place. Customer service is a must and food that is meant to be hot. Should be served hot.

Having been to this restaurant a few times arranged to meet friends again. Have to say it's gone downhill. Staff didn't seem to understand what we were saying. We had to repeat everything at least twice and/ or remind them when they forgot to bring things we'd asked for. My seafood risotto was tasty and plentiful, but the mussels were just shells. When I complained, they offered me more prawns, but to be honest, the prawns weren't all that either. No offer to reduce the bill. The salads seemed good. As usual, wine prices seem to have rocketed, so 70 pounds was quite an expensive lunch, including a 12.5 per cent service charge, which we paid but wasn't really deserved

I am very disappointed with my food! And if i could give a 0 points I would. I changed my food twice and I was still disappointed. The food was below average and was terrible. I would never go back there. Avoid

Food was good but not much of it, considering that the price of 2 people for afternoon tea comes to nearly £66! Here are my observations: Not asked if we had any allergies by staff Seated by the manager but couldn't understand a word he said Hot drinks were not topped up (for the price it should have been bottomless) A 'thimbleful' of clotted cream to be distributed between 4 scones The sandwiches and cakes were very limited Not asked if everything was okay by staff during the experience In my opinion, this fancy restaurant, which charged a lot and had a luxurious atmosphere, didn't live up to its high prices because of the lack of food which made the overall experience disappointing.

A dreadfully overpriced and very poor quality lunch. The meagre Salt Beef Foccacio was a travesty at £21.95 The watery chicken burger also at £21.95 was not much better Cappuccinos at £5.25 a pop. 12.5 % service charge added to the bill.

Rude staff, overpriced , £24 for burger and chips , the burger was poor quality and the small portion of fries were cold. my friends chicken burger was so dry she couldn’t eat it. We didn’t pay the 12.5 % that was already on the bill and got made to feel like criminals! Avoid this place, there so many other places in Stratford that do good lunchtime deals

We visited for a work team lunch. The waitress was not aware of the set menu, so once we were told we couldn't order from that as it didn't start until 5pm, we put in our order from the main menu. Absolutely shocked at the prices, we hoped for something amazing. Unfortunately the waitress didn't seem to have a pen and paper so struggled to remember our order. Once the food arrived we were not pleasantly surprised. The chicken burger was so dry and cold, served with cold fries. We were not offered any sauces and despite not being overly busy we were unable to get the attention of waitress. I noticed other tables had also not finished their food. When the waitress came to collect our plates I advised her that my food was very cold and dry. She told me that she would 'ask the chef' After waiting, we then asked for bill. There was no mention of my comments about the food. We decided not to pay the service charge. On leaving we thanked our waitress and she responded with a cold stare. Needless to say we won't be going back. Such a shame as stepping inside, the decor and menu prices suggest you are in for something special.

Inedible food, so much vinegar in the dressing that it’s burnt my tongue and I like vinegar. I couldn’t finish my meal because I couldn’t even feel my tongue, after telling the staff they still charged me for the whole meal! Won’t eat here again!

We needed some sustenance before shopping and Caffe Concerto certainly hit the spot. Six of us visited last Saturday morning and we were all pleased with our brunch meals. Two of us had the garden breakfast, one had omelette, one had pancakes, one eggs benedict and the last had a salmon and avocado tartine. Coffees were delicious and the waiter, Usman, took our orders and remembered every last detail. We enjoyed it so much we went back on the Sunday morning and did it all over again! The restaurant was very busy so we had to sit in the covered area outside but there were heaters overhead and blankets - so we were warm enough. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Total cost when we split the bill was £25 each (including the 12.5% service charge) but we didn't need any lunch - and couldn't even manage coffee and cake mid afternoon as we were still full up. Definitely recommend.

Very disappointing Staff that can’t even speak or understand basic English, very over priced poor quality food. I had the salt beef breakfast and had 4 tiny little pieces of beef, absolutely appalling

just passing and a coffee seemed a great idea. Staff were very friendly, helpful & efficient. Timely service and would definitely go again

Disappointing experience st this restaurant. The staff were fairly cheerful but the service was very slow and the food offering was only average despite the high prices charged. I ordered the fish and chips and that is all I got - no peas, no salad...

Disgusting behavior of manager! Use to go there very often and always happy with the service,!! But today i am beyond disappointed. Waited more than one hour with an empty table for the food and drinks to come. Went there to celebrate my anniversary with...

Brushetta and fries for two. Soggy bread. Fries only sufficient for one person. Had to ask 3 times for ice. Very overpriced.

I have been served by Mihaela and Cristian and have to say it was a very good experience as they were very nice and friendly. A very nice place will go back for sure.

Visited for brunch. We had Eggs Florentine and Eggs Benedict, both dishes had to go back as all eggs were hard boiled. Then when replacement dish came out, mine didn't have the hollandaise sauce. It wasn't busy, so no idea what was going on with...

Oversweet and overpriced coffee. Also felt like we were being rushed out. Don't recommend this place. Food also very expensive for what it is.

This place is a total rip off ~ one espresso, one large coffee with milk, two regular slices of cake, all for £27. Nothing special about any of it. Check the menu first.

Lovely food, amazing customer service and for a reasonable price for London would definitely come again

Another visit and another lovely lunch the food the staff never fail to impress cant wait to return

We have previously enjoyed delicious salads at another branch of Cafe Concerto, so had high expectations. Unfortunately these were not met. Apparently they had recently changed menus, but the meals we selected still had the same titles. The difference was a stark downgrading of the...

Wow Amazing place for food and drinks !!! Very nice experience Food 5* Staff +5* Very comfortable place Very nice cocktails Nice Prosseco Well done caffe concerto

The staff never fail with their customer service, friendliness not to mention thr lovely food. Thank you again and will see you soon.

For me It is a great place to meet a friend over afternoon tea , lunch or dinner I like the fact that the manager ( I forgot her name) is very present, atentive to details and extremely friendly . I prefer it to any...

Do not have the triple pasta, it’s nothing short of a rip off, £55 for 3 plates of pasta on cold side plates. Came with three closed mussels on top of seafood pasta, admittedly they gave us some open ones when we complained, but seriously...

Have been a regular visitor. Today was shocked to find that I was charged almost nine pounds for a slice of cake.

Very well laid out restaurant in among the very busy the new Stratford City. The variety of eatery served was first class as well as the drinks and dessert these were really top rank and would surely make me keep coming back to the restaurant....

Really fresh and tasty cakes. Had afternoon tea several times. The staff is very professional,quick and efficient. Highly recommend!

The only criticism I could level is that it is on the expensive side. However I had the Garden Breakfast and it is without doubt the best vegetarian breakfast I have ever had. Everything cooked to perfection with care and served incredibly quickly. A lovely...

I bought a cake for my department for Christmas Party. First of all, excellent service amazing Adriana and the staffs. Best experience ever. Everyone from our department loved the taste. Special thanks to Adriana who arranged everything so smoothly, 10 out of 10.

Came here for a last minute breakfast I ordered the English breakfast eggs were good and runny sausage was bland though and hash brown done perfectly

Westfield has poor choices for breakfast so said I'd try this place again. I was here previously but didn't learn. Prices are insane for what you get.... I live in Ireland so I'm no prude but this is greed. I wouldn't mind if the quality...

I ordered the seafood risotto and it wasn’t good at all. There was grit in the clams and the prawns should have been peeled as it was messy to eat. The dish was expensive considering it didn’t have any accompaniments. I usually like the food...

Siamo tornate tardi in zona hotel e c'erano pochi locali che non fossero in chiusura, abbiamo provato qui e ci...

Took a friend to this restaurant for afternoon tea, before we sat down waitress asked if we had a voucher. What voucher we asked, she didnt say, so we looked it up. We ordered the scones and pastries and was told it was too late...

We bought the cakes from the counter of the restaurant inside the shopping centre (1st floor next to Yo! sushi and the World foodcourt). We chose this counter because the main restaurant had no air conditioning. I saw some customers sat under the sun and...

Food ok but coffee and tea prices were very expensive. Including service charge a small cup of coffee was £4.89. Only ever paid more than that in Venice. I chose tap water instead. We were only in a shopping centre not central London. On a...

We went here for breakfast on our first morning in London. There were 8 of us and we got tables without any problems. The waiter took our order for drinks and food , I was very impressed as he never wrote anything down and we...

Party of 8 called by at the weekend for breakfast. Greeted by immaculately dressed staff in uniform. All staff very helpful and friendly Service was excellent. How the waiter remembered all our drinks and food without writing it down I will never know !! My...

My wife and I had a main meal and a glass of wine each, over £60, thought it was just London prices. Nope! Its just really expensive. Despite the food tasting fine, our visit to this place left us feeling ripped off.

I came here for dinner by myself and was shocked when I was charged £30 for a salad and a bottle of water. The atmosphere was very boring, the restaurant interior wasn’t that great and the staff were unprofessional. It’s very over rated and expensive...

Coffee was just about drinkable. Omelette was horrible and croissant tasted way worse than plastic wrapped long life supermarket ones. Shockingly bad food.

In general i love this place and i love there tiramisu, i have ordered multiple time, slices of tiramisu, the whole cake too may be more then 3, 4 times. So i was there yesterday 7th of march westfield Stratford branch, outside venue, so we...

Visited whilst shopping for a full English breakfast. Waiter wasn’t very friendly, made you feel as welcome as covid. £4.20 for a coke! £4.35 for a latte! I know it’s London but really! Breakfast was average, overdone eggs (how difficult is it?) And then chuck...

A vey substandard full English - poached eggs delivers as boiled and the rest was cold. No discount or apology offered. Will not be coming back!

I have been there with my partner and we received our desserts that tasted really bad: my honey pistachio cake had a strong taste of baking soda. The staff were nice, as they changed my desserts with tarte which was cheaper, but in the end...

Wife wanted to try this place after seeing the pictures of the cakes online .. well that’s where they should remain .. the cakes weren’t fresh as they we very cold (I know they are kept in the display fridge until sold) .. it was...

The food was delicious as usual and the staff were very professional and kind. I love their lamb chop the most. Their patisserie are truly divine!

Cold coffee and cake was not fresh absolutely disgusting and poor service. Would never visit again, asked for the bill and took them a while to bring it, coffee worst than Costa coffee

We came here for a quick drink earlier this evening. It took us 20 minutes to be sat, despite numerous staff, and longer to be served a drink. Staff were unapologetic and rude, I asked one waiter where the bathroom was and he held his...

Met up with a friend after a very long time and ordered the pistachio and honey cake and strawberry ice cream. The cake did not taste anything of pistachio or honey and it was obviously only coloured green and kind of brown. The taste was...

The l star is because the coffee was ok. The rest was awful....the strawberry ice cream was a fake bright pink colour and tasted of nothing but sugar. The pistachio & honey cake tasted of green and brown food colouring and not a nut in...

i should say i am shocked about how ppor customer service. not smile not good afternoon , when you ask something they gave you attitude .. i feel like what the hell, are they offering free food? also what i ordered it was horrible not...

We had amazing food and amazing service, our waiter Liam gave the best service and we’ll be coming back!

I visited this restaurant for breakfast with my two friends that I hadn't seen for 4 months due to covid. As we've been here before and know we can sit outside we went again. The outside area was lovely and we were seated quickly. The...
