Prada cafe Harrod's London in Kensington and Chelsea

The Phene is set in a great prime location - the garden is a lovely botanical area to chill out and retreat from inside the pub and restaurant. Been here twice for both neices hosting special occasions Baptism and Baby Shower. Food most recently was edible yet shockingly average considering the price points; waiting time for meals to come to tables was disappointing considering event was planned and pre-booked. Would not return primarily to eat, will return on the basis that ambience is 10 out of 10, appreciate the outdoor greenery and luxe-comfort decor, interiors and furnishings throughout.

Un amigo y yo fuimos a almorzar hoy para probar este restaurante vegano. Parecía agradable dentro de la cafetería, luminoso y aireado. Pedimos nuestro almuerzo: ensalada césar con frutas, hamburguesa vegana, cruditas y ensalada de col rizada. Quedé extremadamente sorprendido cuando la comida llegó a nuestra mesa con dos platos vacíos, y luego toda la comida que aún estaba en recipientes de plástico para llevar (de la nevera de autoservicio) también se llevó a la mesa. Vaya timo. No solo no teníamos comida fresca servida en nuestro plato sino que teníamos que servirla de los recipientes de plástico. No vale la pena el precio anunciado en el menú.

For many years I used Greenfields where I received consistently outstanding courteous, friendly, and swift service. Now where are they? Food quality was always the highest and prices reasonable but creeping up forced upon them by rapacious landlord happy to cede their territory to the growing French / Belgian community. Was it not Bonaparte who referred to the English as a "nation of shopkeepers"? Is it not ironic, therefore, that where he could not win at Waterloo his descendants could in South Ken....

Debo de haber pasado este pub tantas veces, pero nunca hemos estado en hasta hoy cuando estábamos buscando comida en un pub. No estaba muy lleno y la decoración es peculiar y colorida. El pub es algo un poco diferente en esta zona.

The Builders Arms on Britten st is my local. Not to be confused with the one on St Albans Grove, as most Uber drivers, do. Cabbies at least have the common sense to ask, “which one”? I was there on a sunny day - quite the vibe with everyone overflowing onto the street, much to the displeasure of their resident neighbours. I am always amazed at people knowingly buying a home in close proximity to a pub and then spend the rest of their lives complaining of the noise, to authorities. It seems that the obvious discount imbedded in the purchase price of their property (thanks to the pub) was only due to their clever negotiating skills! The Builders menu offers good pub fare as well as a very social atmosphere. I would recommend upgrading their pub sound system to do justice to their excellent playlist! Nothing worse than Alice Cooper’s “school’s out” through a tin-sounding speaker!
