Just in Case Cafe & Wine Bar in Lambeth

Really great coffee, authentic no nonsense Portuguese cafe and grocery store. Use it or lose it as they say. Will go again.

The Bull Streatham is one of our favourite roasts in London. The portion sizes are amazing, and your never need to ask for more gravy. Kudos to Lizzie and Elliot as well, who make you feel really relaxed and are there when you need them.

Mother Kelly’s is an exceptional place for beers and cocktails. The drinks are amazing. The atmosphere and environment is really nice.

This is a review of Frida’s, which doesn’t seem to be on TripAdvisor. The food was dull and flavourless. The nachos were OK, and the guacamole was good but the beef burrito was just mince and rice in a wrap. No spice, no flavour. And the “sour cream” that came with it was the consistency of milk - is it watered down? The chicken burrito was marginally better but the tacos were tasteless as well.

This place is pretty average in terms of food, atmosphere and service. There are too many hidden charges, even when booking which puts locals like me off. A £35 pp cancellation charge is extortionate for the area - this isn’t exactly a Michelin-starred restaurant, or a small family run place that warrants that kind of cancellation charge. The normal canx change for the area is £10. The extra charge for water and ‘extras’ to make your meal a full meal, reeks of entitled gentrification. There is rather basic atmosphere - it doesn’t feel like a true Brixton venue. Fine if you want an overpriced lunch / brunch with most tables outside and to say you visited a firmer washhouse. Avoid if you want a decent meal and to experience Brixton properly. Won’t be going back.
