La Cafeteria in Waltham Forest

Very kind staff and lovely restaurant with a good variety of choices. Was pleased to find out their chicken is halal and the portions are quite big. We ordered linguine vegetale, chicken tagine and Mediterranean appetiser which were all good. Their bread was really amazing too. I am sure we will be back.

La Cafeteria always delivers. Delicious food. It's probably rude to lick your plate in a restaurant, but I was sorely tempted. Still the best place to eat in Walthamstow.

We’re new to Walthamstow and loved our meal here. Service was great and our meals were excellent. We’ll be back!

My friends and I visited La Cafeteria and we liked everything, the staff was friendly and the food was just incredibly delicious. We would love to visit again!

The food look amazing and have good taste, is very clean, the people who work here are so friendly. Sure i will come here again and I recommend for oll to come.

Lovely cuisine (breakfast), fair rates and extremely helpful people. Although it's a great spot to go dining, their coffee might use some quality improvement. Would suggest 😊

Friendly and welcoming staff invited us on to choose from a range of delicious dishes. We've been here for breakfast but today was a lunchtime treat. The chicken tagine was full of flavour and I have to say the vegetables were a particular star. So much to choose from on the menu we'll just have to come back again!

Very unprofessional, my chicken was raw not cooked to the standard and when I complained they rolled their eyes and just walked away also forced me to give a tip. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Good to be back! Thank you for a the delicious meal. Perfect Tuesday night treat.

Great restaurant, delicious food and amazing service! Be back

Was before lunch so plenty of space, good breakfast with decent quality food.

Had our Christmas dinner at La Cafeteria. Overall a great experience. The food was delicious, the set menu had plenty of options for different dietary needs. I would have liked the option to pay the deposit online at booking rather than pop into the restaurant. Found that we were waiting a little long for some drinks, but this may have just been due to staffing on Christmas Day. Overall a great experience and we will be back.

A first-class alfresco dining experience! It's particularly good to be able to eat outside without being distracted by the noise and stink of motor traffic. Even nicer is the sight and sound of a nearby colony of sparrows - common enough in my long-ago childhood, but now grown sadly rare - not that it's also great indoors - the only sane option in winter! The cuisine here is an eclectic mix of standard international fare with a Mediterranean twist, all cooked to order. It therefore best for a leisurely meal rather than a quick bite, but the results are well worth the wait. Portions are generous, so make sure you bring an appetite

As always, lovely food and great service. Booked in for Christmas day, really looking forward to it.

Food and the service was great very friendly and helpful, staff

I invited with my friend in her birthday it was cool and they have different foods and also it is halal, I really like the atmosphere, I would recommend to anyone who is in the area

A small Italian based Restaurant that provides good food at reasonable prices. It started small but they have expanded over the years. The restaurant provides two menus, specials of the day and a set menu. You cannot go wrong with either one. They can cater for small and medium groups if you make reservations. An outdoor area is available when the weather is nice. This restaurant is good value for money and will not break the bank. A light dinner for two cost me under £40 pounds. Staff are friendly and accomodating.

I went there with my family the service is so nice and polite and they are friendly, there food are really so delicious 😋 and I love it👍❤️

Excellent as always, local staff, fabulous meal. Great to share with you again. Food is so good my son ordered some to eat and some to take home for later!

i ordered a pasta bolognaise and it was amazing definitely would recommend this restaurant to my other friends and the atmosphere was very welcoming

The food was amazing I ordered shakahouka and me and my friend enjoyed it a lot I would definitely recommended this restaurant to family member amazing experience overall

Walked in for a dinner at around 19:00 on this Sunday and the restaurant was surprisingly empty. We walked in further to have a sit and we couldn't as most of the chairs and tables were sooo obviously dirty and not clean. So, we just walked out and decided to eat elsewhere.

never been here I alway drive passs my friend and her daughter gonna take me here probably next week on a weekend:)

I have been a regular here for a few years and they have never failed to amaze me. Their food is always delicious (especially their shawarma wraps). The staff are all very friendly and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I definitely recommend this place to everyone.

La Cafeteria is a very good place the food is delicious i always came with my friends and they treat you so welcome and respectful

Nice friendly place with good choice of dishes. Reasonably priced and great food. Would definitely go again

A fabulous place with wonderful staff. 5 stars and 5 stars only.

Friendly, good food, careful social distancing between tables, vfm. Very accommodating to prebooked family groups, child friendly.

Came here for breakfast, but we had missed the time. Thankfully they were happy to accommodate us. Great traditional english fry. Fresh, hot food. The chips are also 10/10. Great value.

Nice food. Lovely atmosphere. Fair prices. Friendly staff. Spacous rear al fresco area if weather is good. Like being on holiday 😁

A warm welcome with absolutely delicious food on offer. Veg/ fish options are superb at very reasonable prices. Portions were generous also. The terrace area is the better option as the interior lighting is quite bright. Wine seemed pricey for the area, a cheaper House wine option would be a good addition. Easily accessable on Forest Rd close to the 123 bus stop. A great night out!

Great restaurant and great value. The is the best restaurants in wood Street.

I felt back back in Italy very delicious food and place very cosy recommend to everyone. Very fresh food and very attentive staff!! Will be coming back

Very delicious food reminded me being back in Italy

Always delicious food and great service here.

I had such a delicious breakfast.

First time in La Cafeteria....and boy was I impressed with the food! Dined for lunch with neighbours as it's local and was pleasantly surprised!! The chefs special...chicken salad is one if not the best I've ever had! No lettuce!!! Lol... seriously though...fillets if chicken...and plenty...medium boiled eggs and boiled potatoes....with this amazing dressing! My kinda salad!! My guests enjoyed their chefs special pork and mash, and lentil soup! A great afternoon out with exotic lager on tap!! Thank you

I had a lovely pasta, big portions definitely I will be coming back to try other stuff , thank you la cafeteria

Last time we went we were thete for my stepsons birthday breakfast. We had a fabulous breakfast.

First visit here and it was great, lots of choice on the menu. The food was fresh and delicious, quick and very friendly service and with a spacious outdoor area at the back.

Me and my boyfriend visit LA Cafeteria very often for Lunch, as their food is unexpectedly amazing and very delicious for the area, with very reasonely affordable price, as well as their service is so lovely and friendly. I definitely reccomend this place to everyone!!!🥰

The best Spot too hang out during your brakes at college . Excellent food and drinks I recommend this cafe

The best food ever is here!!!!! Everyday I coming here with my friends and my boyfriend Staff is very nice and friendly!

Been here a few times for breakfast. Good variety of breakfast choices and always friendly service.

This is a great little place. We have been here twice now. Fantastic food. Really good prices. Very friendly and accommodating.

I went there for lunch lovely atmosphere , friendly service and good price Thank you for looking after us

Food very nice, and great atmosphere, and friendly personality definitely i will go back to la cafeteria

This is a 2 because of the recent food i brought from this restaurant. the chips were not fresh and the tuna panini was not so nice and the tuna did not test fresh at all was very upset as i have had food here before and it was nice. big let down to be honest won’t be eating here again.

Bosh, exceptional food of splendid quality with friendly service 10/10

Excellent food and excellent service. We went for brunch as a group of adults and with children. Staff were attentive, friendly and accommodating. We have lived in the area for 3 years and never visited this eatery - shame on us as it’s a gem. We will be visiting again in the future. Highly recommend.

Excellent food at reasonable prices. Has undercover outside seating. Great place to eat.

Great place to meet friends for lunch. Affordable and good food. Staff pleasant and helpful. Have only been at lunchtime not for evening meal or drinks.

Surprisingly good food and menu choices. Staff were very friendly and helpful making it a relaxed location. The restaurant was quiet therfore not much atmosphere. But if I was vack in that area I would definitely go back again

Only had a coffee, but it has had a refurb and looks very nice.

Xmas day meal. Enjoyed the food but the main meal wasn't served very hot so had to be reheated in the microwave a few times. Side plates for bread, ice buckets for wine and a table cloth would have been nice to have. When you use the toilet and come out of the cubicle to wash your hands etc, there is no privacy as the bar is facing the toilets, so this made me uncomfortable. Staff were friendly and accomodating.

Una comida excelente y los camareros super ambles. Un autentico descubrimiento comer tan bien en Londres. Recomendable 100%

Lovely place with delicious food, would recommend.

Worst lasagna I’ve ever had. It was burnt, dry, had no cheese and no flavour. Apparently some of their other dishes are edible, so be careful what you order. Just came again and ordered the melanese which was extremely good.

Lovely place, great for breakfast, brunch and dinner! Good selection of home cooked meals - one of my favourites being the beef bourguignon! Excellent for drinks too and nice back garden. A regular of mine!

Nice and comfy place to be and enjoy 😉

Great service.Right food.Good people with amazing customer care.

Love, love , love it here !! Been here a phew times and have never been disappointed, food is wonderful and reasonably priced, the staff are extremely welcoming, great for lunch with the girls

Good food, reasonably priced.clean and spacious.

Fantastic service and food. The chips are TOP NOTCH. Well worth the visit!

Just moved to the area and I’m so pleased to have found such a gem just round the corner. Food is an absolute MUST upon visiting here. Seasoned beautifully and impeccable presentation but the taste... oh, it is just divine! Staff are so well mannered and welcoming too. Lovely atmosphere - I will be returning.

Friendly professional service with a wide choice of quality food served attractively and at a fair price, something for everyone and well worth it.

Really nice place for brunch/lunch - I think they're also open in the evening although we've never been then. The food is vaguely Italian, but with a fairly extensive menu offering more traditional British options too. The service is friendly but can be a little slow at times.

Food was excellent although we did have a bit of a wait for it.

Nice food at a very reasonable price with very friendly and attentive staff. Will definitely return

Best breakfasts. Taste fabulous and made with love. Staff are great too.

Lovely breakfast, great service. Really nice selection of options. Will be heading back :-)

I went with my girlfriend today as she is local recommended it. I had one of the specials , Beef Bourginon and it was amazing, the meat melted and in your mouth and the gravy was really top notch . The starters baba ganoush and their humus were great , the humus (crealy home made) was very tasty but not greasy like in other places. To top it up the staff were nice too, so yes , highly recommended, will come back

Much better after the upgrade ☺️

Italian only by name. The menu is international. The gnocchi special was delicious but the gnocchi were not handmade nor the feta was actual feta. Overall everyone enjoyed their meal. They had three desserts, of which only two were available at the time of order. We didn't try any. House white wine was very good. Very good service. The hand dryer is too loud.

This place has fantastic food, the venue looks very nice and clean. Outside garden in the back is cozy. The staff very pleasant to talk to and helpful. Price wise is reasonable/affordable. Would definitely return here.

Lovely food great staff highly recommend

Really friendly staff amd amazing food at affordable prices

This lovely cafeteria is bigger than it looks from the entrance. The food comes as a very satisfying portion and very delicious. Great serviceman, clean and very friendly staff. Definitely recommend.

Really nice little family fun bistro. Great food at great prices breakfast lunch and dinner. One of the hidden Gems of Walthamstow.

Good food at a fair price , good attentive service.Was a bit cold but not too bad would go again. Revisited service and food was first class.

Old favourite. Food is always good.

Perfect place to sit and watch the world go by

Very good service from pleasant staff

Amazing place! Came in with my friends and their children, had a great time! Excellent food, proper home made, incredible portions, very satisfying and great environment. Very clean as well! Absolutely recommend!

So good to visit this place again

Great food and service. Very reasonably priced!

Super friendly cafe, an absolute bargain for the quality and presentation of their dishes! Breakfast is definitely their strong feature to me - cups of coffee size bath tub! Probably one of the best Shakshuka I ever had, and their vegetarian or healthier options are also very yummy! - I am thinking of their salmon breakfast, to mention one. Staff is very polite and friendly, service is very quick. Don't get fooled by the lack of hipster hype - this is a true and very affordable gem!

Food was up to usual standards and staff were friendly as ever. Always a pleasure to go here

Breakfast on a Sunday is great. Staff are really friendly. There is also outside seating area which is very nice in the summer time. Would definitely recommend it.

Worse seafood linguine I’ve ever had.

One the few restaurants / cafes where you can get a amazing lunch also a great dinner, l used to go there regularly when I worked in E17, lovely friendly staff and management.

Good, but small, range of food. Vege and non vegetarian. Appreciative staff. If you deserve it.

I can't believe that I haven't made a review on this sooner! I come here very often and am always very surprised with the meals. They are always very tasty and filling (in a good way). They also allow dogs in the area and staff are VERY nice! I've never had the garlic bread before and would definitely recommend it! It was very tasty and had a nice crunch to it. I had the chicken linguine, which I did not take a picture of, and it was delicious and had tasty greens too! The tuna nicoise salad was excellent, came with a two tuna steaks which were both delicious. It was a great meal size for one person! Definitely a great place to visit if you're hungry and want to try somewhere new! Pictures included: Garlic Bread Tuna Nicoise Salad

The food was amazing and the waitress was great, sweet, funny and kind. Highly recommended 👌 The food isn't cheap but it's worth every penny. Such a good atmosphere. Can't wait to go back! 🥰

Really tasty breakfast Our party had full English and eggs benedict. Both excellent Clean cafe and friendly staff

Great home cooked food very reasonably priced!

Lovely restaurant, very nice people, very friendly atmosphere. Interesting Italian menu, good size servings, properly cooked and beautifully presented. Very clean restaurant. I thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

We love La Cafeteria but haven't been there in person for a while - we must rectify that soon. But tonight we ordered via Deliveroo and had the chicken Tagine and the chicken and mushroom pie. Both very generous portions and completely delicious. Thank you so much, Ugur and staff for the delicious food and see you soon!

One of my go to places. Food is fresh and tasty. Owners are lovely and friendly. Love coming here. I always enjoy the experience.

Re new memory bein in 6 years ago was in this place. Great food, HIGH QUALITY👌👌👌
