Un grupo de 9 cenamos aquí el sábado, fue una estupenda relación calidad-precio. Teníamos el menú fijo y cada plato desde la primera hasta la última era la perfección. El Cerdo era especialmente bueno, el queso también fue fantástico. El personal era increíble, muy servicial y agradable.

La comida es buena, pero la chica de mal humor detrás del mostrador. Ella literalmente tiró los platos en la mesa delante de nosotros. No iba a matar a su sonrisa.

I live locally and thought id pop in - it's been a while.I had to wait as she stacked cups and walked to and fro from the kitchen. eventually she came to the counter and just looked at me with a blank expression.Eventually after a mini stare off, i gave my order, handed my money over and she left my change on the counter and turned her back on me.Terrible service. I live locally and will tell everyone I know locally about this.

Se trató de una chica muy malhumorado y ofensivo. Al llegar con mi perro he buscado conseguir confirmación podría venir, ya no había señal en la puerta, ella me miraban como si hubiera insultado a ella. Finalmente llegamos. Pedí un té (1 libras. 70 por un terrible taza - claramente baratos bolsas de té) y le ofreció una nota de £10. No tienes nada más pequeñas? Ella ladrar en mí, me respondió "Lo siento, no. Es todo lo que tengo", entonces ella tomó el 8 libras. 30 Cambio y literalmente lo tiró en mi mano abierta. Ni una palabra de agradecimiento por mi encargo, señaló. Realmente terrible comportamiento de alguien que obviamente piensa que el mundo debía ella la vida. Claramente en la profesión equivocada. Que se llama el director para informar.

The location of this place is fantastic however unfortunately I would not recommend! I went to meet a friend for lunch here today and we left both genuinely shocked at the service received from the girl behind the counter. I asked what the soup of the day was, she stared blankly at me for a moment before answering with a dead pan expression. I placed my order as she put into the till in silence then stared at me, I said that was all thanks. She then told me the amount, I gave her my money and she slammed the change down on the counter rather than hand to me. She told me I could sit down and stormed away into the back, I stood with my friend as she was also waiting to place an order. The girl shouted from the back "you can go and sit down now" I said that my friend wanted to order something, thankfully a far more pleasant girl came and served my friend. When the girl with the attitude came out with our food, she practically threw it on the table for us. I would never normally write such a bad review however this service was on another level, this girl should not be working here as she is not suited to a customer facing role and she is going to lose this place business fast. Judging by the reviews, it looks like i'm not the only person to have had the unpleasant experience of being served by her.

The girl on the till was extremely rude. She snapped at me and my friend and pretty much threw the plates down on our table. Fair enough, you might have personal stuff going on, we all have difficult things to deal with, but don't take it out on your customers, particularly not the ones who are polite and treat you with respect.

I visited here a few days ago with a friend for a catch up and I won't be back. The service was awful, the young girl paid no attention to what I was asking for and asked me to repeat myself with attitude whilst punching my order into the till. When I gave her the money and held out my hand to receive the change she ignored my hand and thumped the money on the desk without a thanks and went into the back. I stood for a few moments after the transaction considering asking for my money back and perhaps go somewhere else however my friend recommended it so I didn't want to offend her. If you don't enjoy your job love get a new one as your loosing customers and giving the business a bad name.

Left feeling like I'd ruined the poor girl's day after not having less than £10 on me (there's a card charge for less than £5). Also didn't help that she threw my change on the table rather than giving it to my outstretched hand. Quality of food and drink was quite good but the place also had a slightly unpleasant smell (spilt milk maybe?)

From the ashes of Beanscene rises Le Petit Repas. I'll not go as far as to claim it's a phoenix, but it's certainly one of the better coffee shops in the area. If you ever went to Beanscene then this is exactly the same. Same worn-in wooden look, same big comfy sofas, same £5 meal deals. In fact the only thing that has changed is the coffee which is now Poritoli, a brand I'd never had before. I'm not a big fan of Italian roasts but this one didn't scream out "ITALIAN" as much as others do. It was always my first choice for a train coffee when it was Beanscene and it will continue to be as Le Petit Repas

Desayuno algo caro para lo que ofrecia, aunque los croisants estaban sensacionales, bien con mermelada o con jamon y queso. El camarero amable y el local tranquilo, pero necesitaria renovarse.

From the street you wouldn't necessarily notice this cafe which is a shame as its a lovely little find. I popped in on my way to a festival event and was so glad I did. It's cosy, friendly and attractively priced. I'd definitely come back whenever I have time to spare in the area again.

Went in to have quick breakfast before catching a tram to the airport. So we had tea, coffee and croissants. It was OK, but nothing special, we would have ordered more but the staff were not very helpful or interested in telling us what we could have for breakfast. Pity I was quite hungry and the cafe is in a good location for the staion and tram.

Located near to a hostel, you'll find a lunchroom focussing on backpackers/visitors/students. Nothing fancy, just a great place to enjoy affordable, good food in a great atmosphere. Would definately come back a second time.

Had a quick business meeting and this was a good place to have it. The lunch offer for a fiver is good, and the staff was friendly and efficient. Will use again.

Looked ok but inside the atmosphere was like the moon. Service painfully slow. Food not worth the wait - suspiciously varied menu. Waffles were rubbish with the wrong syrup. Coffee was abandoned after one taste - brown water. Loyalty card stamped and left on the table - we won't be back.

Good coffee and cheap lunch deal (Drink+sandwich+cookie for a fiver!). Staff are friendly, the atmosphere is comfortable and easy to work. Nice place :)

Arranged to meet a group of friends to do some uni work here. Unfortunately, a waiter had spilled a whole mug of hot tea, my friend had just bought, over her mac laptop. We could all see it as an accident and the poor guy felt so bad. But, it wasn't until we spoke to the manager to find out if there was insurance that would cover it, as it was not our fault at all. The manager was not apologetic what so ever and made my friend feel even worse about the situation. She merely said she was off to email the insurance company and left to go into the back and did not come out. The poor guy who made the accident was left to deal with us. no remorse from the manager at all and this reason I would never step foot in there again. We just had to leave after that and go straight to apple store to find out what to do. My friend is very upset as all her information is gone and the laptop is gone, she would be better off buying a new one. Hopefully it will be sorted (up to two weeks they have said), but my friend has had no remorse from the company. I hope the waiter doesn't feel bad as we all make mistakes, but I am very appalled at the manager- almost looked like she was angry at us and just walked away

Good coffee and very cheap lunch deals. Service was just down right odd. One waitress just ignored us and despite making eye contact carried on what she was doing. Our food then arrived 10 minutes apart brought by the non serving, non speaking misery. Again without a word nor smile.

I met a business contact for a coffee and catch up. The guy who served me was very friendly and helpful. The coffee was good. The decor is good too. It's a good place to meet near Haymarket stations. I can't say anything stands out as being excellent- it was like most other coffee shops

I used to love this cheap and cheerful Beanscene and revisited yesterday since the change of hands. Unfortunately we were very disappointed. Ordered 2 Americanos, came to around £4.50, was told I had to spend a fiver to pay on card so added the enigmatically titled "Hummus & Cucumber" to my order for £3.95. The menu board hasn't changed since Beanscene (surprising since the name is now French- couldve been an ideal opportunity to re-establish as a more upmarket French bistro?) but it felt like the standard of food has. Unfortunately what arrived was laughably bad. 2 horrible cheap tasting coffees - if they were made using a barista coffee machine, they tasted of cheap instant coffee. The food was hilarious - the smallest, sloppiest looking little pot of hummus with some disgusting soggy slices of cucumber. The cucumber was definitely a few days past it and the hummus clearly wasn't homemade. My friend commented that she would be embarrassed to serve that. Considering you can get a meal including drink, sandwich & snack for £5, it was absolutely ridiculous that this mean and disgusting portion came to £4.Place itself was fine, totally identical to how it was as Beanscene. Toilets unclean. There were a few people in the place but it didn't have the hustle and bustle of most establishments during a sunny day in the festival. Service was pleasant enough but nothing special. Won't be returning

Great little bistro for sandwiches and coffee. Fresh produce and good service from the staff. Well worth the visit

Had one of the best (read - super chocolatey) rocky-road slices in this place - will be back again! Coffee is nice, though sitting in is a little pricey. However, this place has a great location, staff are polite and the seating areas are very comfortable.

Sobremesas muito boas e cafés generosíssimos, ideal para se aquecer após uma caminhada gelada. Fica ao lado do Elephant House (onde J K Howling escreveu parte do Harry Potter), mas sem as centenas de turistas que buscam um atendimento sofrido lá.

I visited here for a business meeting on a Monday morning at 9am. I noticed the sign on the door said "Any takeaway coffee £1.50 before 10am". A great offer, but it comes completely at the cost of the people who are sitting in. I wanted a latte, but was given a number card and told it would be brought over. 15minutes later my drink finally arrived, meanwhile I'd watched them serve countless others who came in and got takeaways, so they were clearly prioritising the take-away trade. I'd watched them (finally) make it and bring it over, yet it was still relatively cold, as they obviously weren't heating the milk properly, but they weren't busy. A colleague ordered a bacon toastie, which also took far too long to arrive and was the most boring looking sandwich. The whole place needs a revamp, the staff need retraining, and they need to realise that if they have a large cafe, they need to get bums on seats and therefore not make those people wait while the fleeting visitors get served first. If you want to do that, have two counters!I won't be going back.

Un grupo de seis de nosotros nos dieron una cálida bienvenida en el concurrido restaurante un domingo por la noche y tuvimos una gran comida, muy bien presentado, bien cocinada. Amplio menú hambriento, no demasiado tiempo, apropiado para los vegetarianos, así como la carne/pescado caprichosos. Unas ensaladas y platos principales.

Treated with such disrespect. I have never had such a bad experience. Plus there was a nail in our food. Please if your staff has had a long day send them home. Please don’t have them take it out on paying customers. Awful.

Very dirty, 1/10 service and the workers smelt of sweat. I asked for nuts free products and all the products contained traces of nuts.

Felt like a local coffee shop due to the superbly friendly staff. A nice atmosphere. Well done to them. It should be what all places do, but they don’t. Top marks all.
