Chez Mamie in Camden - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Trip advisor needs to get its directions right from Tottenham Court road station !! We walked round for 15minutes and couldn't find it.

This place has excellent French food for the most reasonable prices in the area. I ordered a couple dishes, sat in the back at an ecclectic table next to the door to cool off. Food was amazing, wine was amazing, can't wait to go back.

Simple but beautiful little cafe, hidden on a side street. Inside it looks quiet basic but French-style charming and cosy. We liked it very much. We ordered Eggs Benedict and Eggs Florentine with a home made Hollandaise Sauce. It was very tasty and we really enjoyed our breakfast. The service was warm and friendly. The only thing to improve slightly was the coffee. My husband's Americano was just a half cup. It looked as if there was not enough water in the coffee machine ;0). My latte was alright. Overall a nice place for breakfast and lunch, nice quality food, simple and authentic. We would visit again.

This cafe on appearance looks lovely - not particularly dirty, but their are basic hygiene improvements that could be made. To make matters worse I found a hair in my food. Staff were apologetic, but it does make me wonder what behind the scenes look like.

Chez Nous is near Tottenham Court Road but 'off the beaten track'. We have been here before - similarly when going to a matinee at the Dominion. Really nice atmosphere, small and intimate, good tasty home made food, well presented (on lovely vintage [?] crockery). We both had the courgette and goats cheese quiche with salad. Very tasty! Definitely a place to come again when in this part of London.

We visited in October for an afternoon snack when we had homemade quiche and croque Madame both were excellent so on a recent trip in December we made a special trip across London for brunch, I had the croque Madame again and my OH had eggs benedict again both were excellent and the people are really nice, will go again next time we are in London the food is delicious.

What a gem! A small intimate restaurant with great food. We booked as we were off to a matinee at the Dominion (5 minute walk). As everything is cooked freshly and it is a busy place ...leave enough time! We only had just over an hour so in the end took our dessert with us! Lovely fresh salmon and great rose wine! The portion size was perfect and food was delicious. You are not hurried and we really loved it! Would definitely recommend and go again if in the area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. Very friendly staff and an intimate venue. I had homemade lasagne and side salad, gorgeous! Puddings looked good too though was too full to manage one! Handy for Oxford street yet in a quieter location. Highly recommended.

We stopped at Chez Nous for a pre-theater dinner. This is a very small restaurant, perhaps 6 or 7 tables. We were early and had no trouble being seated. The very small kitchen is at the front of the restaurant. There was one staff person in addition to the chef. We enjoyed salmon and pork. Both were excellent.

This is an amazing little French bistro located in a small street very close to Tottenham Court Rd tube. Lovely atmosphere, small and cosy. We booked an early evening meal prior to the theatre and couldn’t fault the friendly efficient service and delicious home cooked fresh food. We chose from the daily specials menu and had a bottle of the house white followed by a desert as the main meal was so tasty. Very reasonable prices and worth every penny. Good options for vegetarians. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Just had lunch at Chez Nous. What a gorgeous place! Lovely atmosphere, food and service. Not too busy so didn’t have to wait long to be served and very reasonably priced. Will be going here again.

What a find on a dreary,wet Friday evening. Welcoming, friendly lady. Such good service,lovely food & very palatable house wine in a small intimate restaurant @ very reasonable price for London. Loved it.

We found this by accident walking round Tottenham Court Road looking for lunch and went up the wrong road. Right as it turned out. Quite a little oasis of tranquility with good food cooked to order, nice wines and a relaxed rustic feel with background French music. Either snacks or more formal meals can be catered for and the quality is first rate. A real find and far better than most on offer in the vicinity. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

I go back here with friends all the time. The pricing is reasonable and it has an intimate, informal atmosphere. Reminds of a Parisian bistro. The kind of place you can pick up a meal by yourself or go with a friend on a budget and get something tasty. It's like home-cooking/canteen vibe. I like how the menu changes. No airs and graces but chic and the staff are very friendly. Hidden away, it has an exclusive feeling, being small but calm at the same time...and it's close to Bradley's for after dinner drinks.

Stumbled upon while on our way to the British Museum. A true hidden gem. Fantastic service and quaint atmosphere. During the meal we were transported to friendly neighborhood restaurant in France. From the croissant to the lunch to the wine to the dessert— it was perfect.

At opføre dette lille hyggelige etablissement som en restaurant er helt ved siden af. Der er meget få retter og de,vi fik,var bestemt ikke noget særligt og desværre heller ikke særlig billige. Men hvad er det så? Heller ikke en pub for jeg kunne vælge mellem Corona og San Miguel som jo hverken er britiske (eller franske som stedets navn ellers kunne lægge op til) og langt fra de mest smagfulde øl. Både min store teenage-søn og jeg var noget skuffede oven på de meget positive anmeldelser her. To stjerner for venlig betjening og for hyggeligt lokale.

우연히 들린 곳이었는데 프랑스 요리를 파는 곳 같았어요. 합리적인 가격대에 아주 맛있는 음식을 먹을 수 있어서 만족스러운 곳이었어요~

Quiet, cozy and delicious. One of my favorite spots in London to grab an amazing meal at an amazing price.

The restaurant is beautiful, authentic, and cosy and is located deceptively close to the hustle and bustle of West End and Oxford Street! The interior is stunning and truly feels like you’ve ventured out of the UK for an evening.

Niché dans une minuscule ruelle, cet endroit charmant d inspiration brocante vaut le détour ! Le chocolat chaud aux marshmallows est délicieux. Le marbré au chocolat divin m a rappelé mon enfance. L ambiance est très conviviale. Merci pour ce doux moment.

J’adore cet endroit. C’est devenu un de mes endroits préférés et incontournables à chacun de mes voyages à Londres. Le cadre est agréable, on s’y sent bien. Les plats sont délicieux tout comme les jus de fruits et autres cafés, chocolats, cappuccinos et sans compter sur la gentillesse du personnel. Je recommande

This restaurant is slightly off the beaten track but worth going as the food is lovely and reasonably priced.

Having just moved to Soho and tried many different restaurants in the area, this is definitely the most delicious food and at an affordable price in Soho! The place is humble and welcoming with fantastic home French cooking. I highly recommend the lasagna — and the salad has the best vinaigrette!!

Excellent little bistro ideal for a pre theatre lunch.Two courses with drinks and coffee for £46 very reasonable.

Casual, comfortable setting with delicious, straightforward food. Reasonable prices, good service. I was hoping for a quick, healthy meal before a meeting and I was delighted with what I got (the chicken pie plus salad). Surpassed my expectations.

Healthy food. Caters for gluten and lactose free diet. Dèlicious lentil salad. Food prepared freshly. Friendly, homely staff. Quirky setting . Ŕeasonable prices

I use Hanway St as a shortcut on a weekly visit to London to avoid a busy corner of Tottenham Court Road and so walk past Chez Nous every week. This week I decided to try it. WHAT HAVE I BEEN MISSING!

I visited with friends on a Monday evening. The restaurant was quiet. We were served by a charming waitress, who answered our questions with humour and style. We ordered more food than we needed from a small but interesting menu, and enjoyed a reasonably priced bottle of French wine. The food was simple but delicious, with the cooked vegetable plate the stand out dish. The desserts were typically French- rich and flavoursome. We loved the pared back decor, it really felt like being in a bistro in the French countryside. And no music- a real plus and made our conversation so much more enjoyable. I will definitely be revisiting this restaurant.

Me encontré con este café / bistro por casualidad y realmente disfruté de mi ensalada de caballa seguida de un postre de chocolate. Tiene una sensación francesa auténtica y tiene una excelente relación calidad-precio. El postre tardó un poco en llegar pero, aparte de eso, fue perfecto.

Tucked away near Tottenham Court Road tube station, this is a quirky gem of a restaurant. Serving delicious French food with veggie choices too. Fabulous French shabby chic ambience and heady smells wafting from the kitchen.

Very friendly, lovely freshly cooked brunch in a relaxed informal setting, highly recommend. Eggs benedict delicious 😋

We were in a hurry and had a nice pre-theatre light bite. This would be a good place to come to forlunch. Good value and very tasty. The staff were very friendly.

Nice restaurant tucked away just s stone's throw from Oxford Street. The meals were great; fresh, tasty, generous and reasonably priced. Definitely on my list for future visits to London.

Este maravilloso establecimiento es administrado por una familia francesa que la madre usó por primera vez para cocinar, y desde entonces la hija se hizo cargo y en el proceso de ser rebautizada como Chez Neus. La comida es muy atractiva recién preparada, quiche, pollo, ensaladas, pescado. También sirve vinos y excelentes postres y café. Fantástico precio. Tiene una decoración única y muy encantadora. Asisto a menudo y he recomendado a varios amigos. Perfecto para café, almuerzo o cena temprana. Perfecto para reuniones de negocios o simplemente reuniones sociales. .

Great breakfast. Egg Benedict was delicious. Croque monsieur missed some mustard. Nice calm atmosphere

Needed a quick breakfast stop when the tubes were closed. Why a great find. Why didn't we find it earlier?

Nous avons été bien accueillies. Le personnel parle Francais. Décor très chaleureux. J'ai adoré la vaisselle. Parlons un peu de la nourriture maintenant : succulent, des quantités raisonnables . Ca m'a renouée avec l'endive que j'ai redécouvert . N'hésitez plus, allez-y!!!

AMAZING food. Everything is freshly made and deliciously tasty. I definitely suggest you to go there!

We visited for pre-theatre meal. It's off the beaten track and a real gem. Fabulous service great food - portion size perfect well made home made food. Very tasty and reasonable prices. Would go back.

We found this restaurant whilst looking for a pre-theatre meal. It had the great advantage of having readily available tables and the meal was quite palatable as well as being inexpensive. The service was friendly and efficient.

Visitado antes de partir hacia el teatro para un regalo de cumpleaños. Fue encantador para ir a algún sitio fuera de lo convencional y no una 'cadena'. La comida es deliciosa y es un gran valor. No sólo eso, sino que el servicio fue excelente, amable y eficiente. Merci bien!

Vine aquí por una inesperada cena con amigos y nos las arreglamos para encontrar mesas disponibles sin reserva.

Hanway Street es una arteria estrecha entre Oxford Street y Tottenham Court Road, y siempre me sentí como un lugar secreto. Buscando una comida ligera en la tarde, estuve dando vueltas, y de inmediato me gustó la habitación, con sus muebles destartalados, velas en las mesas y la música francesa contemporánea.

It was a delight dine there, we loved it. The food was excellent, we ordered Anchovies for starters which was divine. I don't usually like Anchovies but will go back for them.We both had Black and white risotto with prawns and it was gorgeous.Fresh Orange juice and Acai smoothies was very good too. The prices were reasonable. Our server a pleasant young lady was very helpful choosing our order and she wasn't wrong. The dessert was good too, my preference was apple crumble instead of chocolate cake :) The Ambience was good and we loved the deco of mis matched furniture.There are only 6 tables. One round table is bit wobbly so we moved to another table but I would highly recommend this place. And they have a hidden Bar in basement.

I work close by so I ordered the soup of the day for a quick take away. Very good price and the soup was delicious! Located just off Oxford street, while waiting for the soup to warm up I have seen other plates going around and they all looked very good. Will surely be back to try something else!

Excellent very French food and ambience - delightful service and decoration. Was like being in France in a top of the range local restaurant. Unpretentious, friendly, and with bags of atmosphere. Reasonably priced - my best French restart in London by a country kilometre!

Un gran descubrimiento, volviendo del British Museum por calles secundarias para evitar el bullicio de Oxford Street y varios andamios que estaban montados cerca de Tottenham Court.El sitio es muy pequeño, ni siquiera se le debería llamar "restaurante". Es más bien una especie de salón de té en el que se pueden comer algunos platos también. Pero tiene varias ventajas: Es un oasis de tranquilidad en esa zona, un ambiente muy agradable y acogedor, una atención familiar cálida y agradable, y precios imbatibles, incluso fuera de Londres...En fin, no es para una comida gastronómica, sino para un tentempié y seguir el trote turístico, que para eso viajamos al fin y al cabo.El té, excelente. La tarta tatin, casera, muy buena. También hacen buenos sándwiches de atún y otros sabores. Y platos que no probamos, pero tenían buen aspecto. Volvimos, y volveremos.Una curiosidad: En el sótano hay una especie de antro flamenco. Supongo que se lo pasan bomba por la noche, con carácter de sitio "clandestino", sólo para conocedores...

I absolutely love Chez Mamie - from the ever changing specials menu, to the mis-matched furniture, to the french wine. Mamie and her daughters have created a beautiful little cafe with a fantastic atmosphere for any occasion.

As usual i recomended this place i pop in for a coffee fresh squeeze orange juice and the cous cous best coffe shop food in london very friendly service and a good location when you try to avoid so many people in oxford street

I'm going to bring my wife here next time we're in London. Stumbled on this low key French café / restaurant. Gave it a go, I was so pleased. I love places with a short menu. The specials were two starters and five mains. I had the fish pie, with two glasses of chablis (2 'cause it was good), followed by tarte tatin and coffee. Delicious, French cooking. quirky place, nice family run place.

When finding this cafe and entering, I felt "wow", this is beautiful. Very pleasant with a real sense of authenticity. However, we experienced very poor service from the waitress, resulting in me having to walk through to the front counter to chase up our food, and finding she had fogotten all about it. Not ordered, not prepared and we had precisley 10 minutes before we had to leave. Mistakes happen, but this lady was certainly not rushed as the cafe was only half full. Not sure if I'd trust them again. Was a shame.

Excellente surprise que ce petit restaurant francophone et délicieux au cœur de Londres, à l'ombre des grandes artères. On ne s'y est arrêté que pour grignoter mais c'était pourtant parfait. Merci à leur cuissot d'avoir accepté de me faire le meilleur croque madame revisité façon "Mamie" de tous les temps : un croque monsieur et un œuf poché. N'hésitez pas à leur réclamer ! Il mérite sa place sur le futur menu !

This small, family-run French restaurant is perfect in every way. The menu offers dishes that look simple on the page, and then you taste them, and oh, my . . .This is not your fancy, expensive French cuisine. It is instead, I think, the French version of the best kind of home cooking. And the prices are reasonable! Heaven.

Going to see War of the Worlds in Tottenham Court Road for special occasion thought we'd check trip advisor for a good place to eat! Great reviews for This small eatery off the beaten track. We had duck pie, chicken, prawns with filo pastry topping followed by Apple crumble & ice cream and tart tartin. 2 glasses of house red, 3 coffees and 3 persons having two courses all for less than £55! The food was delicious and inventive. The quirky decor with mismatched tables , chairs and cutlery was delightful. A great find! Would definitely go there again!

We stayed in a hotel along the street from this little cafe and noticed the delicious smell of baking pastries as we were on our way to The Breakfast Club, which had a 30 min queue out the door. We decided to pop back to Chez Mamie and are very glad we did!Restaurant area is a little back room with a selection of small tables, it is bright and welcoming. We both ordered eggs benedict which was absolutely delicious. We were the only diners in so service was quick. Overall a very lovely, calm breakfast experience in the heart of London.

Chez Mamie is one of the chicest places to eat in London, and at really affordable prices. This is true esquisite french cooking and I am always in love with every dish I've eaten. A personal favourite is the Salmon Florentine dish which is one of the best I've had with the homemade hollandaise sauce. It's one of the best I've had - truly excellent !

We had been visiting chez mamie yesterday a little gem just oxford street this place is running by a family pasionate it for food is a must try old french cuisine with a modend twist inspired by a homemade recipies coffee is very good as well as the food service and atmosphere been in london for such a long time &is lovely to see places like that i wish them a very good future they deserve it thanks for a exceptional performance of a true hospitality we will back 100% recomended !!!!!!

Always a fantastic meal. I've held off reviewing this place because I wanted to keep it to myself, but it's too good not to share. Always great food, always great value. Small only 25 covers, but so worth it. The menus is small but everything is always fantastic, try things you don't know, or think you wouldn't usually eat, because your mouth will love you for it.

The restaurant is a very nice place with homey food and fine service. But what I really take away is the visit to the spanish bar in the basement, which we stumbled over by accident - or visit to the wc. :) The night we were there it was totally filled with happy spaniards and live spanish music. A highly recommendable gem in London v

Went there for lunch with a bunch of people. The place is warm and cosy. Service was attentive. They serve homemade french food at a very reasonable price.

We were here for a company floor dinner party and, of course, we were around 30 people. Looking at the room we were in you might say: "No more than 10-15 people would fit here". And this can be true, but they made it to fit 30! Amazing! We were literally elbow to elbow there, but was great food and service! Considering it is a small place, it was amazing that they were able to have everything ready and warm for us all.I may go back to try different dishes, it's a good Frenchy!

Casual and classy. Very tasteful. Don't miss out if you are around the area. The Mamie Salad, roast beef and tuna dishes are remarkable!

Discovered this continental style cafe just off Oxford Street. I only wanted a coffee and a croissant, but other food was on offer. The coffee was the best I have tasted in London for a long time. Gives the impression of being French but in fact it is run by friendly Belgians. Pleasant change from the impersonal chains in the West End.

We stopped for lunch at this simple, but wonderful little cafe after a bartender at a nearby bar recommended it. It is located on a small street or alley off a busy area, so not an easy place to find without directions or Google Maps, but definitely worth the effort.

Cette petite adresse située dans une petite rue au centre de Londres est un endroit exceptionnel. Le lieu est charmant, le service sympa et efficace et la cuisine est absolument exquise. Comptez entre 7 et 9 livres le plat.Une adresse incontournable si vous cherchez un lieu un peu sympa autour de Tottenham Court Road.

Really sweet people, tasty food a drinks. Sometimes they are quite slow so dont stop by unless you have some time. Home made food with a smile!

I went Chez Mamie for lunch today and had a great experience. The service was spot on, the food delicious - homemade, fresh and interesting - and the place is very welcoming and cosy. I would definitely go back. A hidden treasure.

En bonnes petites Françaises amatrices de bonne cuisine en visite à Londres, nous n'avons pas résisté à l'appel de la French Cuisine de Manie. Et nous n'avons pas été déçues. A l'entrée du resto, un food bar permet d'emporter son repas. A la vue et surtout à l'odeur, on a tout de suite su qu'on était chez une vraie chef cuisinière.On nous installe dans une salle très joliment décorée. Mamie vient nous saluer, en Français, et on apprend qu'elle est belge (d'après son accent de Wallonie). J'adore la cuisine belge ; sa générosité, les gaufres, le sucré/salé de la Carbonade... Bref, on commande un Pan e tomato et Pata Negra en entrée et, un canard à l'orange en plat, et ce, afin d'assouvir notre envie de cuisine de chez nous.La Pata Negra était délicieuse, et la bouillie de tomates qui l'accompagnait, parfaitement assaisonnée. Le canard à l'orange : une tuerie ! Cuit parfaitement. La sauce : à tomber par terre et, les légumes en accompagnements étaient très croquants. Parfait !Un grand bravo à toute l'équipe de "chez Mamie", le service est parfait. Et un immense coup de chapeau à Manie, cette petite dame simple, sympa et sans chichi fait une cuisine que l'on aimerait trouver partout dans les restaurants de France.Je recommande à 30000 % !

a very authentic place giving great value , the menu is specialized in breakfast and lunch, although we were there in the evening having dinner. We took some food from the specials, it was delicious. The service is really friendly.

Vi spiste morgenmad på denne meget hyggelige og hjemlige café med hjemmelavet lækkerier. Værtinden var sød og meget gæstfri.

We recently spent a week in Lindon as a family and enjoyed our trip overall. The best find of the trip: Chez Mamie. Not the place to go spend big money on a fancy meal. But a nice, quiet, affordable meal prepared for you while you relax in a casual French Cafe type atmosphere. It just so happened this place was literally right out our front door in Hanway Place right off the corner of Tottenham and Oxford St. Hard to believe such a wuaint little cafe can exist so close to the Boots, Sainsburys, McDonalds and Burger King megastores. But it does!!During our stay, we ate here several times mostly for breakfast. Great coffee, croissants, and even apple and pear crumble served with ice cream. Don't let the store front fool you, it looks as if they only have a small selection. But ask for a menu, there is a generous choice of breakfast, lunch, and light dinner options. And the coffee lovers in the family had nothing but praise for the coffee and espresso. I was a fan of the ham ( French or Iberian) and cheese croissant and baguettes. My wife loved the eggs florentine. A great find that the family incorporated in out daily schedule. The service was very personal and complete. You won't find this kind of cafe in most American cities!!

Wondeful family running business. Mamma is the chef and her daughters do the rest.. Its a hidden place off Oxford street and you will really feel like a home. food made on site by mama and really authentic and taste good. must visit cafe.... prices are reasonable and affordable..

Das ist eine der wenigen Bistroadressen, die ich mir merken werde. Vom Wirt eines benachbarten Pubs empfohlen, sind wir in das französisch-belgische Bistro eher zufällig hineingeraten. Bescheiden eingerichtet, im Keller Bar und Bühne die an die Zeit der Prohibition in den USA erinnern mag.Roastbeef-Sandwich klingt nun wahrlich nicht aufregend, aber dieses war ein Feuerwerk für ausgebildete Geschmacksknospen - genial!

.. tucked away in a side street, small restaurant area in what was once a back room, a few tables - ours very rickety - stopped for coffee and a snack. Coffee and pastry were good, house red was acceptable if a little meagre, chicken escalope / mascarpone sandwich was horrible. Chicken appeared to be from a processed roll and some very odd dressings has been liberally applied. The wait for order to be taken and then for delivery of food / drinks was very long indeed - and it was not that busy. Other diners were clearly concerned about delays. Perhaps just an 'off' day but overall not a pleasant experience. A shame because it is the type of 'cafe' that one really wants to like!!!

Tucked away in the little Hanway street, Chez Mamie is a great hideaway place for those seeking to get away from the touristy Oxford street. Tasty home-cooked food at reasonable prices. Lovely decorations.Breakfast, lunch, light-dinner, tea - this place is a real gem

A real gem just round the corner from the Dominion Theatre. Delicious home cooking served in a charming way - none of the crockery matches and it's fab!

When you think you have gotten lost, you are about to arrive. It has been there since the summer of 2014 and is run by the family and is uniqe. The total oposit to the many franchieses. You will not forget your visit.

Gorgeous home cooking style food, particularly reasonable prices, Very good house wine. This was a rare find, entirely by accident a few days ago. Lovely atmosphere, owner's daughter was working there and the granddaughter served us. I'll be back again very soon.

The only cafe/restaurant in London that I consistently return to!Great food, very pretty interior, incredibly affordable and the staff are wonderfulTry it out

I had a pretty average day filled with "Monday comedy". Decided to skip the Main Street generics in favour of Hawnway for my lunch time destination. Ended up finding a instamood changer with a French twist. Friendly / homely service / super cosy and warm ambience. Food tasty and flavoursome. The place has a coffee loyalty card to. Can't wait to fill it.

Hanway Street is far from a main street but it is definitely worth a visit with some nice bars and this great place with lovely food and really fair prices. The food reminded me of great home cooking and the furniture and the friendliness of the staff underlined that experience. I will be back the next time I am walking in the neighborhood.

Can't imagine it will stay hidden for much longer, especially with the huge developments going up on Oxford Street (Oriana, Centre Point), but then perhaps it has positioned itself perfectly. Super friendly and fairly priced, you get a sense of locality often not associated with the tourist haven of the area.

Tucked away on a sidestreet just off Tottenham Court road in central London, this place is a winner. Run by a mother and daughter and open for a season, it has been doing well and the family staff is wonderful and inviting. It has a French feel from the get-go and the menu promises amazing breakfasts and intimate little dinners. Perfect for a romantic date; it is quiet and comfortable with limited seating. We ducked in her to grab a Bloody Mary and tea. This was one of the better Bloody Mary's I have had; exquisite with attention to detail and love poured into it. Highly recommend this special place and its sweet staff.

Everything about Chez Mamie is wonderful. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Oxford St, this is a fantastic oasis of calm.Both the food and the service is excellent and highly recommended.

The warm welcome by the staff, relaxed atmosphere and great food makes this my new favourite coffee shop, only seconds away from the hustle and bustle that is Oxford Circus. Excellent breakfast, especially when trying to avoid chains like Starbucks and Costa. I tried the Eggs Benedict and a Flat White and would go back anytime. In the morning it does open a bit late (9AM) if you have a breakfast meeting, so make sure to schedule around that.

I love coming here.Amazing home cooked snacks and food.-You can clearly see that a lot of love and attention goes into the good and drink.Keep up the good work.Alx

Yes its quietly gaining a good reputation with a delightfully fresh approach which is such a change from the umpteen chain places popping up nearby almost weekly it seems.Like the legendary Bradleys Spanish Bar bar up the road, Hanway Place is an almost forgotten back street off Oxford St but certainly given hope by these two gems.Its a bit like the tardis inside as goes quite a way back and having sampled the breakfast items I popped by this week and had a lovely light lunch of a tortilla with a little salad and a crisp glass of Bordeaux white.It really is an oasis of calm in an otherwise bustling area and mercifully bypassed by the hordes of tourists attracted by Primark and the British Museum. Just a few minutes walk from Tottenham Court Rd tube.

I recently discovered Chez Mamie as I work close by. They have a great menu of varied French dishes that change daily, all freshly prepared with a lot of love and attention. I particularly LOVE their salads, every time I have ordered them they have been made freshly in front of me and differ each time.They have been bursting with flavour and keep me coming back again and again. I would highly recommend Chez Mamie.

I visited last Saturday with a friend. I live nearby and had been wanting to pop in as they looked friendly and welcoming. And indeed they were.The cafe at 1pm had a few people and a lovely atmosphere, with a simple but full menu which was well priced, espcially for the area.My friend ordered a parsley soup and I had the croque monsieur. Both arrived soon after and were delicious. The staff were attentive but not intrusive and I plan on returning again this weekend. Amongst the sea of chains and overpriced food in the area, Chez Mamie is a beacon to those who wish to try good quality and well prepared food.

This is a recently opened cafe just off Tottenham Court Road. It has a small but varied menu of French food which is prepared fresh daily and delicious. My friends and I tried it for a quick bit of lunch on Thursday but enjoyed it so much we went back for lunch the next day. The meat options were different which is good.There are a limited number of table at the back of the premises which make for a cozy place to relax with friends.They also do take-away if you want something tasty instead of a mass produced sandwich made three days ago.I wish them the best of luck with this new business I will be visiting again when down that way.
