Melting Point Bistro in Waltham Forest

Fabulous little find! We shared the truffle and Gorgonzola fondue and enjoyed every mouthful!! Would recommend!

The worst meal I’ve had in many many years. The food is not cooked fresh. The calamari is from a frozen packet, the nachos are the crumbs from a Doritos pack, the borek is from the frozen isle from TFC a few doors down (I’ve bought the exact ones before), the chilli with the nachos is more like a tasteless bolognese microwave meal for toddlers. The microwave is constantly pinging in the background. To top it off we walked out smelling like we’d put a shift in at a greasy spoon. Cheap food but not cheap prices! This place needs to appear on Gordon Ramsey’s kitchen nightmares. Truly shocking!

I don’t often do reviewers but wow what a find! I took the tapas and the three items were incredible! The slow cooked aubergine was to die for and the croquettes and arrannci lovely. It really felt like freshly cooked homemade food and none of that reheated stuff you get in most places now. I had the red wine with skulls on - can’t remember the name of it but really good value for what tasted like a good quality wine. Will definitely be heading there next time in area! They do parties but shame I don’t live in area otherwise you can tell it would be perfect for it!

Perfect place for a chilled family lunch , top quality food,service and effort not to mention a incredible coffee. This is a true hidden gem

Food beautifully presented, service was good and friendly. Had the fondue here before and it was lovely, would absolutely visit again. I’ve been here 3 times already

Family meal of tapas which was very tasty and good value. Staff Anna and Ben were very efficient and friendly which made for a very pleasant atmosphere. Will visit again!

Had lunch today at the Melting Pot in Highams Park it was awesome Veggie Burger (Beyond Burger) Carrot Salad Red cabbage Salad and fries It was easily THE best lunch I’ve had Service was impeccable and the food was so tasty and fresh Well worth another visit A***

Despite a mix of reviews, we had a really nice early evening meal of tapas and good cocktails. The service was attentive and friendly. A couple of niggles; no service spoons were given when our tapas dishes were served so we had to ask for these. Coffee was really good but a pity served in thick rim mugs - as an evening experience a coffee cup preferred. The cocktails were good value for money during happy hour and the Margarita excellent! Nice music and at just the right level so you can still chat without having to shout at each other.

This place must be good! I posted on the local FB group, asking for recommendations for brunch; within 5 minutes there was a list of responses, all recommending the Melting Point Bistro. The charming chef/patron was very welcoming and supremely efficient. We both had superb eggs Benedict - what else for brunch - and these were easily the finest poached eggs I’ve ever been served. It’s obvious that Gokce takes great pride in what she has achieved here, and gives her personal attention to even the smallest detail. If I lived in the area I’d go out of my way to support her. Her bistro has my unhesitating recommendation.

Had a lovely meal at Melting Point Bistro this evening with my parents and my two small children. My father had a meat platter and my mother and I shared five tapas dishes for £30. We had the carrot and walnut salad, calamari, chorizo in red wine and honey, courgette fritters and aubergine with tomato, garlic and onion. All delicious but if I had to pick a favourite, it would be the aubergine dish. We enjoyed our happy hour cocktails too and the staff were friendly and helpful. I’ve been before for coffee but this was my first meal there. We will definitely be returning.

Awful- Waited nearly an hour in an almost empty café ( three staff on) , for scrambled egg on toast and eggs benedict. Egg turned up with hair on plate. Staff need training walking past a table with dirty plates for 20 minutes, punters were walking away. Duty Manager clearly dumb saying 'what do you want me to do' . Here is what GET HAIR OUT OF FOOD- CLEAN TABLES - For other customers GET STAFF WHO CAN MAKE TOAST AND EGG IN UNDER AN HOUR avoid. Lots of good cheaper places around

When I called to book for lunch I was asked if I could give over our choice of food before the day which I did. We still had to wait 50 mins for the food and there was only two of us. Luckily it was a Saturday and we were not in a rush. I had to ask for sugar for coffee and later on given no milk with the tea and then had to keep trying to get their attention for the bill. Having said this, the food was delicious 😋, loved the interior which was very different and extremely comfortable and will say that the two waitresses were friendly.

Visited Saturday night & had a delicious meal with friends. Everything was home made - had a delicious truffle cheese fondue with fresh walnut & raisin bread & home made burgers & tasty wine. Cozy place with nice decor & lots of lovely touches - a hidden gem! Very reasonably priced - will be returning!

A disappointing lunch which took over an hour to get & then was inedible. Even the drinks took 40 minutes to arrive & were then wrong. Such a shame!

Very simple restaurant and limited menu. Staff were pleasant and we did have a nice evening. Seating is limited so make sure you book ahead.

Went for breakfast and had really good service and delicious food, which was also beautifully presented. Especially loved the artisan bread that we got. Will be back!

Family night out great food, great variety superb hostess who had fantastic knowledge of food and wine on menu. Food came out tapas style which was fab. Generous portions. Would definitely recommend. Best waitress ever xx

Best coffee i had around my house..... The owner works at the bar she is very friendly and happy lady!

We have visited the Melting Point a couple of times, usually late afternoon/early evening so haven't had to book. The atmosphere is very friendly and the service is excellent. On both occasions the food has been prepared and cooked on the premises and was very tasty. Would definitely recommend!

Wholesome food and wine at very reasonable prices. Very courteous service too. Open over Christmas. Bread varieties are a speciality as is the range of cheeses.
