Villiers in City of London, Westminster

We had a 5:30 booking to give us plenty of time prior to an evening concert event at St Martin's A wise choice, as the restaurant was already busy early on a Saturday. We were seated promptly and our drink and food orders were taken in good time. I was just checking their menu to refresh my memory when I discovered that they have shuttered the business as of September 1, 2017. Unfortunate, as they had wonderful food in a convenient, trendy location. Sigh!

I popped in with a friend, she loved the desert served, I had to join in. Believe me the desert were one of the greatest I have even had in years. Great place too with a great services.

It was getting late and the restaurant said Fish & Chips. We are happy we went in to try. The fish and chips was superb. And the tartar sauce was just as good. Portions were a good size and nicely priced. There is a nice selection on the menu. The lamb selection was good too. The restaurant itself is small inside but worth the trip. Seating is in the back for meals. Would recommend Villiers for anyone heading to that area of the city around Trafalgar square and Embankment Station.

No es divertido que esperamos una comida de vacaciones en un lugar bien revisados sólo para encontrar que es terriblemente decepcionante, así que te ahorra la molestia de buscar este lugar para el desayuno, como hicimos nosotros. Todos los restaurantes tienen un error con la cocina ahora y entonces, pero todo nuestro desayuno fue una serie de percances sin excusa, interminable espera para un orden muy simple, y ausente de camareros. Café y té nunca llegó. Lados sirvieron debajo (? ? ? Platos principales). Mantequilla y mermelada tenía que ser pedido tres veces en 15 minutos. Una pastelería servían cuando pedimos dos. Toda la comida, una vez más, realmente cosas sencillas como dos huevos sobre pan tostado - tomó 40 minutos en llegar. No estaba muy concurrido - estaban ocupadas sólo dos mesas y la otra mesa a la izquierda porque su fin estaba tomando demasiado tiempo. Todo hubiera sido gracioso si no tenían mucha hambre y ganas de comer aquí basado en las críticas. Uno o dos errores es comprensible, pero toda la comida, muestra una total falta de solidaridad por parte del restaurante. Creo que este puede ser mi primera mala crítica en Tripadvisor - yo no soy un tipo quejándose, yo estoy tratando de salvar otras la molestia de venir aquí.

Encontré en este lugar para el almuerzo. Guau, qué encontrar una verdadera joya. Todo fue excelente, la comida, el servicio y el personal.

Small brunch place with decent food. Nice for a quick coffee and a brunch. Service was very friendly!

Este fue un almuerzo de trabajo, así que no había una gran cantidad de tiempo.

Nos cayó en Villiers después de no poder conseguir un asiento en el bar Gordon's Wine, terminó siendo un doble suerte de eventos. Miguel nos llevó a través de la lista de vinos con quesos y chorizo para acompañar. Ambiente casual y excelente servicio, tenemos muchas ganas de volver.

A group of four visited for drinks and dinner. Tables were small and cramped and our Prosecco was warm and expensive. The food was good but poor value. service staff were polite but barely spoke English You could do better for less elsewhere.

Mi hijo mayor y yo visitamos este lugar, que era un corto paseo por el puente Golden Jubilee de nuestro hotel, en la orilla sur. El menú brunch del domingo era suficiente, el servicio era agradable y la comida era excelente! De hecho, era un lugar estupendo para comer el domingo por la tarde y temprano en Londres!

Tried it as somewhere new and quick with colleagues. >50% of the table were disappointed with their meals (fishcakes weren't popular, nor triple cheese toastie, pasta went down well).On that basis won't be back. Lots better nearby

Quaint, small and lovely cafe. The people were wonderfully attentive and friendly. The food was scrumptious. The atmosphere perfect. Please take time to visit this great place. You will be pleased that you did.

I visit the Embankment area of London quite regularly for business meetings at the IET in Savoy Place and used to get Porridge and a Coffee at Costa's outside the Tube Station for my breakfast... Today however I decided to try Villiers Cafe and their porridge with summer berries, with a Decaf Americano coffee. The porridge was a good sized bowl of fresh cooked proper oats that was piping hot and delicious. The coffee was good too as was the service and ambiance of this small London cafe / wine bar. I'd certainly go here for my porridge from now on rather than eating the 'instant' porridge at Costa's. The price of my breakfast was 'okay' at £8.10 but then they automatically add a 12.5% gratuity onto the bill. Now the service was good and I don't mind paying tips, I just hate it when it gets added automatically and it's not brought to my attention when I'm getting the bill. Also one other slight niggle is the fact that they charged an extra £0.30 for Decaf Coffee... This is most unusual as having decaf coffee doesn't normally come at a premium. There is free guest WiFi which is password protected. Anyway in short I did like Villiers and I will have porridge here again for sure.

nous nous sommes rendus dans ce restaurant pour un petit déjeuner. L'accueil et le service ne sont pas très chaleureux, la décoration est soignée. la nourriture était très bonne et servie en grande quantité.

We came here for breakfast and have been charged with £7.5 for gratitude. All is well until the bill is paid. We were expecting changes - not much but £2.5. Waitress can't be bothered to give change and let us decide if we want to tip extra but confiscated the change. Not acceptable. And when asking for it and the tax invoice, she gave us a death stare. A big no no to customers when it's us to decide to tip the service. Sadly the arrogance has costed them the tips.

I had lunch here on Tuesday. It's very busy and the seating is a little cramped. The food (fish and chips) was ok but nothing spectacular. Too much ice in the coke.The service was reasonably fast and the staff were attentive. For three meals a £4.50 gratuity charge was added to our bill. I'm all for leaving a tip but I feel it should be up to me to decide.

Villiers Street, where this namesake venue has established itself is awash with eating establishments, from the legendary Gordon's Wine Bar (trading on this site since 1890 making it London's oldest Wine Bar) to the less salubrious Herman Ze German down to the usually chain-stores like Yo Sushi.I'd come to meet a vegetarian friend from Embankment Tube station and was keen to stay in the area as she was heading off to a meeting nearby.So before she arrived, as the venue was new to me, I checked it out and they clearly served breakfast, as it was advertised everywhere saying that they did and there were clearly covers inside enjoying some.But whilst a lunch and dinner menu were clearly displayed by the door, there was no sign of a breakfast one.I was sure they'd have a vegetarian option, so collected my friend from outside Embankment Station and returned.The interior was warm (lots of wood) and inviting. The staff quickly showing us to a table.But when the Menu arrived, I'd realised why I hadn't crossed it's threshold before. It was ludicrously expensive. Something I then recalled from my past, when I remembered they did indeed once have the menu displayed proudly outside.Toast & jam £4, scrambled egg on toast £6.50, Eggs Benedict £11.50 and a Cooked Breakfast (WITHOUT Tea or Coffee) an astounding £13.00.My friend ordered the Avocado on toast with Chilli, Lime & Coriander at £7.00 I went for the Sausage sandwich (which was two cut up sausages placed between pieces of toasted Ciabatta with no butter or other spread) at £6.50. The Soya Mocha I ordered coming at a comparably more reasonably expensive £3.70These are bordering on hotel prices and in many cases exceed The Wosleley on Piccadilly (the Grand Cafe which all other cafes must be measured by).But the food wasn't exceptional (in order to warrant those prices) just merely OK.My friends toast was so hard on the crusts, it made them inedible and she left them. My ciabatta sausage sandwich whilst filling lacked butter or any kind of condiment dressing, which left the bread dry and difficult to digest.The aforementioned Herman Ze German does an Avocado Bun for £4.50, so it's hard to understand why such high prices here.But if you don't mind the expense, this is an OK cafe in the area for brunch, but for a real London experience go to the Cabmen Shelter (Green, Grade Listed II Hut on Northumberland Avenue) just around the corner to get a take-away (only those who've done the Knowledge are allowed to sit down inside) for a real cheap deal (Coffee comes in at a £1) or if lunchtime, experience the history of Gordon's and eat in the wine cellar of a stunning establishment (slightly more expensive than the Hut). So to sum up, nice but pricey!

Small, popular restaurant. Great staff, great patrons. We were starving. They brought our drink orders quickly and our food came out soon after. Service was good, food was delicious, and our fellow restaurant patrons were excellent "hosts" - close seating allowed us the opportunity to meet new people. As we were leaving a large group arrived, taking up all the remaining seats. I can see how service would be quickly overwhelmed by such a large group in such a small space.

Recommandation de TripAdvisor suivie et donc relayée: elle est méritée . Très joli cadre, accueil remarquable de gentillesse - nous étions pourtant en retard - les produits sont frais, les oranges vraiment pressées, les assiettes jolies. Une note spéciale à l'adorable Chiara qui s'est occupée de nous!

Went for pre-theatre (but not quick) dinner on a Wednesday evening. Small but not too cramped dining area gave great feel and atmosphere with plenty of people drinking and dining after work. Service friendly and helpful even if not particularly quick. Had three course, all brilliant, partner had skate which was superb whilst I had flank steak which was one of the best I've had in a while. We weren't enthusiastic viewing from outside, just something didn't draw us in, but SO glad we went ahead.

We found this little gem of a restaurant the day before we left London. It was one the few places open for early breakfast. We were thrilled. I ordered a sausage and egg sandwich and my husband ordered a egg on toast with a side of hash brown potatoes. The pictures do not do it justice because it was one of the best breakfasts that we had on our visit. We were the first people in the restaurant on this morning so everything was clean and the staff was very friendly.

Really terrible experience today. Had to repeat our orders five times before the waiter had it correctly. Then the wrong food came out. Then the bill was calculated wrongly so we asked for it to be changed. They changed one of the things that was wrong but not all of it but was so frustrated by that point that we paid it and left. £18 for egg on toast!! Will never go back and would advise all to avoid.

There words were not said our loud, but I struggled to get the waitress to clean the mess of spilled chips under the table. Enter the male waiter - he cleaned the bit I pointed out to him. The food was good and the service fast. We later discovered that there were Chips on the floor under 2 more tables. Told the lady waiter, she looked upset that I pointed it out and told me they would clean it............A bit later she gave 2 Ladies the table in question. I decided to leave at this point !!!

We tried the very tasty fish and chips.Friendly service, the room is small but cozy. We will come back

We visited for breakfast. I loved this cafe; Mr TF wasn't so keen. I loved the cosy atmosphere (yes as per previous reviews the tables are close together, which is the kind of thing that would usually put me off, but it works here); Mr TF found it cramped and too close to noisy people. The coffee was strong and delicious. Best of all the smashed avocado on toast (the toasted bread was sourdough from a London bakery, it's that kind of place). Service was casual but nothing lacking. Well worth a visit.

We shared a selection of starters between a few of us and ordered the house white - which was delicious. Nice atmosphere with dim lighting and great place to meet friends for food and drink. Will be back.

Thanks a lot to Miguel, great suggestion. Lovely place, charming and easy at the same time. Stopped for a quick drink but ended up spending a good half an hour sipping a lovely gin.

Nice bubbly atmosphere with good choice of drinks. Was very squashed but worth it for the atmosphere. Staff very attentive.

great atmosphere but rather cramped; food was excellent and serve as good too... really friendly. good for local theatre and other attractions... recommended

Entramos por casualidad y nos encantó. Los camareros muy simpáticos. Nos recomendaron bien. Carta no muy extensa pero suficiente para elegir. Para intolerantes a la lactosa apto. A mis hijos les encantó el Fish&Chips. Local muy agradable, pequeño y cuco. Nos gustó bastante más que algún otro restaurante de la zona mejor puntuado.Pedí pescado del día porque no llevaba lácteos. Era merluza, y me sorprendió gratamente lo rica que estaba. Las tartas caseras tenían una pinta impresionante. Recomendable

Rather than spending a high price for our hotel breakfast we stumbled upon this tiny, charming breakfast spot. They have a nice selection of baked goods and standard breakfast items. Service is great. Only drawbacks-a bit cramped and coffee is not as strong as we like. Still, we kept coming back for more!

This place is small, but the food is exceptional and the service courteous and friendly. We had the toasted cheese sandwich (creamy and filling) and the sausage and egg as well as the bacon and egg on fresh ciabatta. Outstanding!!!

My husband and I called in here for a late breakfast. The first thing we noticed upon entering was how small and cramped the place was. The tables are so close together, in fact almost no gap between - certainly it would not be a good choice of venue for a private conversation!We chose eggs on toast. My poached eggs were OK but tasted slightly of vinegar. The toast was rather hard, especially the crusts.Overall, not a place to linger! Finally, be aware that they add 12.5% service charge to the bill.

Absolutely amazing fish and chips! The cappuccino was just what I needed! If you're planning to eat in, you should be warned, there's not a lot of tables. It makes it quant. This is one of my favourite places in London.

Came here with my family 2 days in a row for breakfast. We overall loved it. The food and the atmosphere were incredible. The restaurant does suffer from only having one server though. If you're going to go, it would be best to go off hours when it isn't packed to the brim. The avocado toast, yogurt parfaits and cappuccinos were fantastic.

We visited for brunch as a treat on our final morning in London as we had walked past all week and thought it looked really inviting. Positives were the décor, great coffee and the eggs benedict that me and one of my daughters had (lovely orange yolks). Unfortunately, several things we asked about on the menu were not available (and the menu is not long), including the pancakes which 3 of us were hoping to have. My other daughter asked instead for soft-boiled eggs but these were really overcooked and no spoon to eat them with or butter for toast (when we asked for a spoon the waitress produced a large tablespoon for what were very small eggs!). The service was friendly but erratic. Overall we left feeling a bit disappointed.

This was a very warm, cozy little place that served great breakfast food and coffee. The staff were also really nice. The location is easily accessed from the tube station.

There are two ways of looking at this place. The first is that it squeezes a staggering number of people into a space smaller than most people's drawing room, resulting in - for me at least - slight claustrophobia and a noise level that renders normal speech pointless. That was my immediate reaction when our party of four turned up for lunch yesterday. I was on the point of leaving in search of somewhere else, when I realised that my younger friends seemed to be finding it quite congenial. "Bohemian", one of them said; and that's the second way of approaching it. Suddenly feeling a sour old git, I somehow inserted myself between a table and chair, and I enjoyed a simple but excellent light lunch served by friendly and efficient staff (whose lips I could see moving but who didn't mind at all being asked to repeat everything). Very thin people, or those with impaired hearing, should feel quite at home here.

Siamo entrati attirati dalle scritte "cocktail" all esterno ma sul menù c'è poca cosa. Prezzi un po' esosi e per di più si paga pure il servizio. Ovvio che lo spritz non si può prendere all'estero ma una nostra amica aveva nostalgia di casa (prezzo allucinante comunque : 9£)

We visit London a lot lately visiting my elderly aunt and this place is an absolute gem! From the moment you step in the door you are greeted by one of the great members of staff. You get quality food and wine with a smile. The chef here certainly is superb and attention to detail is great and Stacey is an absolute joy !!! We came here just after Christmas after a mega stressful day and you go out smiling ! Thank you to all the Staff but Stacey you really are a tonic !! Look forward to seeing you next month !

Having been here before we knew the breakfast was great. Good food, lovely vibe and a little gem hidden away close to charring cross. Would recommend the advocado and poached egg on sour dough bread or the enormous sausage sandwich on ciabatta. Great venue and on valentines also a lovely venue for a cheeky glass of wine in a lovely bar before heading of for a bit of romance.

Great place to have a English breakfast.Small but extremely cozy.I really enjoy the atmosphere within the resturant.

We ate here twice in consecutive days and found it to be a superb cafe/ restaurant, full of charm and character with great food and great service and a really nice vibe.We were really pleased to have found this place, a real individual gem of a place in a sea of corporate branded eateries- we would definitely come back and definitely recommend it to anyone!!

Don't go if You are in a hurryLove the food, atmosphere, peopleWifi barely works. Sometimes that's alright

Breakfast was disappointing with poached eggs that were cold in the middle. Were they reheated? After great reviews there was no bacon for some meals but there was for others, really? Won't rush back but it had good coffees.

We called in late morning for brunch, having read decent reviews on TripAdvisor as we were staying locally. The cafe was busy but staff very welcoming. As we were off to panto we plumped for the big breakfast as wouldn't be eating until the evening. We were both delighted with the quality of the food - you could tell everything was high quality and cooked very well. We were presented with beautifully tasting black pudding sausage and scrambled eggs, amongst other items including toasted sourdough breadAll this washed down with a pot of tea each and we were two happy (& full) girls!I'd highly recommend the restaurant , which also serves lunch and evening meals. Top notch!

Wonderful little find by embankment!Great coffee, wish I tried the fully loaded hot chocolate, it looked amazing but we were both far too full after 2 cappuccinos each and American pancakes for me (maple syrup, bacon and whipped cream) and my partner had a full breakfast! He even said "I think that's one of the best breakfasts I've ever had" praise indeed!Food arrived quickly and staff were lovely!Thank you!

Lovely friendly coffee shop. Really helpful and friendly staff, produced a vegan hot chocolate in an instant... fab!

I've been here in November with some friends and i ate a really good fish and chips. It was very crunchy and tasty. Waitress are kind and the restaurant is clean and cute thanks to roses hanged on the ceiling. I will return because i've been satisfied.

Walking down the road to get to the tube at Embankment, passing Starbucks Costa etc etc, who in there right mind would want to drink anything Starbucks .. its all rubbish in my view, well we were in luck, a lovely little caffe that did coffee, unlike the rest of the street, we order two coffee from a little girl with blue hair, she was very chatty and as its just before Christmas we got talking about gifts etc, she was giving all her friends and family potatoes, Um ok...... now I think thats a great idea after all the potato is a very versatile thing to have, this could work well if you have loads of people over on Christmas Day and someone was giving sprouts and someone else turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce etc, oh and wine of course. So not such a bad idea, at the time I thought we had a right nutter on our hands, its possibly the blue hair that could've given the wrong impression. However I was not put off the hair or the girl, she made a Wonderfull cup of coffee. thank you and happy new year, Ps, hope they all like the spuds !!

Loved it there. We had a warming breakfast there after a long journey. It's close to embankment and you leave the busy street when you step in and feel comfortable. The service was really nice. I could recommend the food and drinks. Only 4 stars because of the toilets.

Klein maar zeer gezellige locatie. Wij hebben hier een heerlijke kop koffie gedronken. En omdat het zo gezellig was ook een glaasje wijn genuttigd.

I ate here last night with a friend and it was quite honestly sublime on every level. Intimate, cosy and staff so friendly and attentive that it felt more like being at a good friend's house for dinner rather than a restaurant. The decor is simple and elegant. But the food was the real star. A homemade scotch egg starter with a perfectly gooey runnny orange yolk; salt and pepper squid, fresh and not remotely rubbery; the biggest chunk of tender pulled pork and a homemade Gnocci crammed with wild mushrooms. We were too stuffed for desert. The place is owned by the younger generation of the legendary Gordon's wine bar family on the same street. Having spent much of my 20s drinking there I loved this link. Villiers feels like a younger, hipper, foodie led reinvention of the original. It was almost as crammed and packed as the original Gordons gets and we did have to shout at each over the table at times, so be prepared for that. But for me that was all part of the charm and added to the atmosphere. You don't have to eat either, it is fine to just drink. My friend (from the North and highly cynical of all things London) just adored it and said it was one of the best restaurants he has ever been too. I can't wait to go back. Well done all involved. I could see what a team effort it is. Happy staff and it showed in the service..

BEST fish and chips I've had! Excellent service and very accommodating. Drinks were great including the mulled wine.

Intimate, homy and delicious.Loved it.We had a superfood salad and chicken with pasta and pesto, but everything on the menu seems great

Coffee was GREAT the first day, not so great the days after, unless you like a light roast for espresso coffee. Food was great. And it's the cutest cafe you will ever see, which is why I kept drinking the coffee. Katia was so lovely, remembered me and my order every day. Something I appreciate, cause I do the same with my customers. I started everyday at this cafe to get a good breakfast and my caffeine hit. Definitely recommend.

Woks well for a relaxed coffee. They look like they have good food as well, cafe style plus light lunch, but I've not eaten there. Rustic, bit different, friendly. Much better than the Starbucks of the world. Been twice in last week. Both good experiences.

Nice little wine bar with a great selection of wine and knowledgeable staff , bonus they were also friendly .You can buy spiced nuts and olives by the cup .There is a restaurant end which was very busy .We were very happy just relaxing with our wines .

Staying for a week 2 minutes from Villiers coffee this became our local for our morning coffee. After the first visit they recognised us and asked if we wanted the 'usual'. The coffee is some of the best in London and way ahead of all the chain coffee shops.

The waitress and the manager were very nice and the place is cozy. I've already booked my next dinner!

This place should be great, and the coffee is delicious. However, very disappointed to see it scored ZERO from the food standards board for hygeine. Don't want to think about what i've been putting in my mouth!

Owned by the famous "Gordon's" a few yards further down the street.Went in for an early evening glass of wine. Good wine list as you would expect. Friendly staff, nice decor. Two key things which made me give it 5 stars:-1) We enquired about a cheese board. The girl behind the bar said they hadn't started to serve that yet but she spoke to another girl who was on her break next to us and she said she was happy to do it if we wanted. Great!!!2) Girl working the bar noticed the prosecco she started pouring for us was somewhat flat and threw it away and started again with a new bottle without having to be asked. Great again!!!Will be back!

We want to thank "Nick" on Saturday night for going the extra mile and simply put "well delivered " We had left the kids with the in laws and had planned a date day/night. My wife wanted mulled wine after the Mayors fireworks display as it was raining. It was not on the menu but it did not stop him from making one up with the simple ingredients he had. My wife love it and made our night even more special and unique.

Vi fik Fish & Chips og en øl. Stedet er småt, men hyggeligt. Betjeningen er afslappet. De serverer også te og kager.

I just arrived in the neighborhood and was looking for a good coffee to ward off the jet lag. Villiers makes a perfect Italian cafe macchiato (the guy running the place is from Rome). Please don't go to the Starbucks across the street. That's lame.

Stopped in at Villiers for dinner, when looking for something close to my hotel. I had been around crowds all day, and wanted to find someplace quiet. I did. Villiers is a small place, but great ambience and a nice wine list. The Caesar salad was good, and the red wine hit the spot.

I had an amazing time with couple of drinks there, keep walking guys thank you very much! Friendly staff and nice services. I will be back soon definitely.

Petit restaurant stylé.Le fish and chips est bon et bien servi et la spécialité de porc "secreto iberico" est excellent mais nous avons été déçu par les autres burgers qui sont très moyens.Le "proper burger" ne contient que viande, fromage et pain (pour 13£) tous les autres ingrédients sont en supplément (1.5£ pour tomate ou cornichons ou bacon,...).Le "Chorizo burger" est arrivé froid, le fromage pas fondu. Le chorizo est en fait 2 petites saucisses au chorizo.

Fish n' chips en famille. Poisson manifestement congelé: mou et farineu; friture épaisse et grasse. Tarif standard pour Londres donc rapport qualité prix très moyen. Par contre ambiance et accueil sympas.

The quantity is nice. Fish is alright. A bit on the greasy side. I've tasted way better. But whatI found really annoying is the 12.5% tip imposed on the bill. You could ask to remove it we were told. But just the principal of not giving us the choice to tip is obnoxious. It makes the whole F&S experience pricey and you leave with a bitter taste. At 16£ the large F&S you can get way better elsewhere ...

After a long day walking around the sights this place was perfect to while away an hour before heading back on the train. Great coffee, gorgeous cake and a warm atmosphere - service could have been better but you can't have everything! No vegan options which is a shame but still recommended.

Very mixed experience. I had the Pinto with chorizo and my wife had fish and chips. Both were great but the service was hilariously bad. The waitress didn't make any mention of the dish being super hot and nearly dropped it on me. I then helped her and promptly burnt myself. She failed to bring the drink I requested and was also completely unwelcoming. Service charge was then added as standard. Sorry but if the service is poor I really dislike this approach. Has potential but service needs to improve.

Bem localizado.Espaço simpático.Atendimento simpático.Um bom local para retemperar as forças gastas no passeio com um reconfortante brunch.Preços de Londres.

Stumbled across this restaurant trying to find a pre-theatre meal. Cosy restaurant convenient for Embankment station. Friendly staff and nice selection of dishes / drinks. Had the fish and chips and was nicely presented and tasty. The restaurant has personality and would certainly go back there again.

Partis sans parapluie, on s'est réfugié ici pour échapper au temps anglais, et on a bien fait... Le hasard fait bien les choses. Un charmant petit restaurant. Je vous recommande le fish & chips (servis dans de la vaisselle en émail), accompagné d'une Kernel IPA (petite bière londonienne)... Enjoy your meal

Cozy small place, efficient team ready to help you and to bring you the delicious Food.I had a 'pinto' which looks like a 'ratatouille' but slightly different. Good choice for a first time over there. The coffee was good as well.

I went to Villiers for lunch/ drinks / nibbles a few times since it opened and thought it would be a great idea to do brunch there with my partner on a sundayWell too bad, not sure what has gone wrong but one tiny egg (30p)and half an avocado (50p), one toast (5p) and one cocktail sausage split in half (pardon chorizo it was, 10p) sold for £12 each before service charge is a bit extravagant!! Wont be back and I don't recommend. Shame as the place is tastefully decorated and the music is good.Our dissatisfaction must have been visible has "we have not added a service charge to your bill"

Très sympa, cadre service et repas de qualité. Visiter au hasard mais vraiment pas déçu ! Je recommande pour un déjeuner sur le pouce

This is the Best own brand coffee in London! Their mini menu is fresh and tasty and cakes to enjoy to the full. Service is excellent too! Worth a look in when you go to this part of London!

I go here all the time with work colleagues and friends.It is a lovely place to go unwind and chat with friends. You can reserve a table but don't worry if you don't as they will always seat you. I would advise booking if you are a large party as it's not very big and they will need to create space. The food is lovely, really fresh and well priced.

The best waitress in town just after ketchup and mayo :) high recommend Just check ut out guys the vest palace in villiers Street

Really convenient, central location but an oasis of calm. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Sitting at the front allows a great people-watching opportunity!

Have been coming here for breakfast quite a few times when in London during the past summer . Its a great friendly personal venue and it has been the flavours of quality ingredients that added the perfect start to my mornings. Various egg dishes and the smoothies in particular tantalise and excite my taste buds.Service has been excellent and it is in a great location.No negatives in my opinion although I have tasted cheaper but also less flavoursome food in soulless places elsewhere in London.I will return for their daytime cakes soon because feel tempted even thinking about them as I type.

I have dinner yesterday night with my partner and I had the burguer. Surprisingly, it was a small one and overcocked, nothing to compare with the one I had last week. It is really expensive for what you get. This is not value for money. I do not recomend it.

Been to Villiers a few times over the years and met up with some friends visiting from Australia for a quick breakfast.I ordered a coffee which was great, but ordered a second since it the first was so small and it was bitter and not so nice.Also ordered the pancakes and was told by yelling from someone downstairs 'No pancakes today'.Pretty disappointing as we weren't told this before ordering and weren't told in the most polite way.I ordered fried egg, avocado and chorizo on toast. The order was wrong when it came, and was quickly qhisked away.AFter about 10 minutes my meal arrived and the toast was burnt. Couldn't be bothered to send it back as we were in a hurry, I was starving and I had resolved I wasn't going to get a good meal from this place.Really disappointing and not a patch on what it used to be.Would suggest taking your breakfast custom elsewhere as this isn't worth even half of what we paid.

We called in for some wine purely because Gordans wine bar was busy. Great wine but a little cramped. We didn't eat but the food on the next table looked fabulous. Very friendly.

Following my review in Mar 16 when I was unable to visit due to incorrect opening hours being displayed on Villiers' website, I was contacted by the owner and offered a complimentary breakfast when I was able to revisit. Today, I was able to take up that offer and this review is not skewed by the fact that my meal was "on the house".The background music was too loud, in my opinion, and it did not manage to drown out the staff in the kitchen downstairs who could be heard shouting to each other. The tables in the dining area are extremely close together and I should imagine that when this area is full then it is quite noisy and there is no chance of having a private conversation. My breakfast food and coffee were OK but not outstanding and certainly not worth the price quoted on the menu. Having now had the chance to sample the delights of this establishment, I am sorry to say that it is not somewhere that I will be returning to - but the owner will no doubt be pleased that I have at least increased my rating. I wish them well, and there was certainly a healthy take-out service for hot drinks whilst I was there, and from the other reviews it seems to be a popular place for lunch / dinner but it's not for me. I prefer some space between my table and the next, and not to have to shout above the background music to have a conversation.

I came back to this place with my friend to try the new specials and it didn't disappoint. I had the stuff chicken with cream peppers and it was amazing. My friend had the fish skewers with spinach cream and it was the best one he'd never had. This place has an impressive menu when you look a this tiny restaurant. The staff is always very friendly. I'll definitely come back with more friends.

Ready for a late lunch and not interested in a pub, ( seems to me that most pubs in London are owned by the same chains with the same menu). Anyway we stumbles across Villiers, and gave it a try. Loved it.This is real food, served in a no nonsense way, which adds to the feel that they focus on serving good food at reasonable prices, so if you want pretty food served on fine china, you need to keep looking, but if value taste and good ingredients, this is for you.Be warned the burgers are huge....... enjoy

Petit Resto de quartier vraiment sympa pour un Fisch and schips sur le pouce un midi. Serveur super sympa, et cuisine typique!

The food and staff were amazing. Very nice atmosphere with great music. Would highly recommend the fish and chips, very delicious. Night little spot if your looking for a quiet meal with a very receptive staff.

Stakk innom stedet for å spise fish and chips etter å ha vært ute og spasert. Trivelige servitører og god mat ! Ventetiden var også helt akseptabel. Kommer sikkert til å stikke innom her ved en senere anledning...

We enjoy finding out-of-the-way, small, individualistic cafes that might not be the height of elegance but have loads of personality. Villiers All Day Dining Room and Coffee Co. (love the name, too) is such a café. It caught our attention between visiting the Horse Guard barracks in the morning and visiting Spencer House late in the afternoon so we decided to try their food. Quinoa Salad with an accompanying light ale hit the spot with an espresso to finish the meals. Tables are packed close to one another but not too close to impact on adjoining diners. Take notice that the toilets are downstairs in the basement requiring you to go down and then climb up a steep staircase to return to the cafe. This could be limiting for people with mobility issues. The staff are super friendly and helpful when suggesting a lighter ale brew that wouldn’t sit heavily after the meal and they smiled, which is a bonus. Don’t bother with fast food takeaways when you have tasty, healthy food in a distinctive, low-key atmosphere like Villiers.

We enjoyed a nice dinner with great beer! One waiter was a bit unattentive, but the waitress made up for that. We really recommend this place.

We ordered two dark hot chocolates and after 20 minutes of waiting we left, having heard nothing from the staff in the intervening period. The place was half empty.

We stumbled in here for dinner one night when we searched Google Maps for "Places the locals go." The restaurant is tiny and pretty busy all the time. I had one of the best chicken Caesar Salads I've ever had- chicken cooked and seasoned perfectly- and my husband had fish and chips. We found that the restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner so the next day, we tried their breakfast and went there every morning for the rest of our vacation! By the third morning. our server knew what we wanted, and for our last morning there, they gave us free coffee. We loved Villiers and hope to return soon.

If a restaurant is going to provide 'classic', simple dishes, then two things are paramount - the sourcing of the ingredients and the care of preparation. There's nowhere to hide. Villier's Eggs Benedict is a case in point. A simple, classic dish with only four ingredients. The bread has to be fresh and crusty (it was). The eggs have to be carefully sourced and perfectly cooked (they were - yolks that deep golden colour you only get from the best free range and delivered to the table judged just right). The bacon was obviously from a great supplier - thickish cut and a proper porky taste. The hollandaise was expertly made with just enough of a vinegar kick. Well-judged cooking using prefect ingredients can make even the most basic dish sing and Villiers does this. The service was very good indeed. There was one of those freak sudden influxes of customers just after I was seated - a quiet little space became suddenly very busy indeed. My waitress remained attentive and seemingly unhurried and unstressed in her work. The decor is just like the food - simple, uncluttered and very well thought out. I very much enjoyed this place and will always support establishments that look to quality, care and intelligence over flash and novelty.

I just sampled the menu at v for a mid week catch up dinner post work and I enjoyed the food. The tables are quite close together so it does feel a bit intimate but actually it creates a cosy feel.The menu is very accessible and not complicated. Fine for a mid week catchup and great location near to station but I wouldn't go for a special occasion. I would definitely return though.

Lamb kofta salad smothered in far too much chilli jam. Fish and chips came with poor quality French fries -- several of them were black and inedible. Service was efficient but unsmiling.

Decided that I wanted a quick me as l while on my way to Vauxhall Gardens, this tiny shop is tucked away and could easily be overlooked. Opted for the fish and chips. Tables were crowed we received our meal quickly. Fish was extremely fresh and done to perfection, crisp and flavorful and the service was excellent. I would definitely go back to try additional items on their menu.
