La Cafeteria in Waltham Forest

A must-visit! Everything we ordered was outstanding, from starters to dessert. Staff made us feel like family. Don’t miss the house-made cheesecake.

Great food unfortunately it was very quiet on our visit , but the staff were attentive and friendly.

First time visit and most say was impressed it was a birthday meal and enjoy everything

The food here is extraordinary. The beef ragu special was out of this world. Service with a smile and so very reasonably priced. A little local gem.

Buena comida, excelente servicio, buena ubicación, bien vale la pena la parada. lugar casual para tomar un bocado saludable para el almuerzo. Ambiente relajado.

I am Donald Trump very good very bad

Quiet place to sit and have a freshly cooked home style meal at affordable price.

Great service, cosy intimate vibe, lovely food.

Had a quick lunch here without expectations. Hands down one of the best pasta ever.

The tiniest italian cafe! 2 small tables inside and 2 outside. Amazing food - baguettes, pasta, and other dishes. Pasta bowls are huge. We both had smoked salmon and smoked mozzarella baguette toasted. Absolutely delicious. Wait for a table if have to!

Visitamos un domingo por la noche y era muy tranquilo. Los propietarios eran fantásticos. Muy amable y la comida era increíble relación calidad-precio para Londres. Grandes porciones y comida sabrosa. No dudaría en volver si estuviéramos aquí de nuevo.

Very great place for Italian food it has a bar also . I only had paella 🥘 rice it was lovely . Just hope the portion was more just for my appetite really 😂.

Vine a almorzar a este lugar y me gusta estar aquí. El personal era amable y acogedor con los clientes. Definitivamente traería a mis amigos y familiares aquí.

Estudio en una universidad muy cerca así que solo quería probar la comida que tenía la lingüina con verduras. La comida era agradable y el servicio era bastante bueno. Toda la comida tiene un precio razonable. Lo recomendaría 😀

Lovely local cafe/restaurant bar. Very nice staff and tasty food.

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

A quick but yummy Early dinner in the back yard area last night, with my doggy 🐕. Very yummy dinner not a thing left o the plate. 😋 Always perfect friendly service in a clean and calm setting. So reasonably priced and well worth it.

Friendly welcome. Good choice on menu. Cooked and presented well. I had the smoked salmon breakfast. Delicious!

A special and rare find. Great food! Great service. Great owners!

Best risotto I have had . Would recommend

Amazing place, very nice staff and the food was very good and delicious. Thanks for the Lunch.

When I arrived the chef made a harira soup I 100% recommend the soup it was really good I would love to bring my family so good

Beautifully presented food and taste , service felt very welcoming from staff , comfortably enjoyed my self at this restaurant.

The food here is very good, very tasteful, enough to fill you up for maybe even the whole day haha, the customer service is wonderful, very friendly faces and polite people! The atmosphere is very cozy and comfortable yet could be used as a place to hold business meetings over food as-well. The place itself brings a very warm and happy vibe, it’s clean and tidy always, Overall this place is a 10/10 and would 100% visit again.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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

Great restaurant, delicious food and amazing service! Be back

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!

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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
