Delivered on time and piping hot. Great portions sizes too. We ordered a tofu chow mein and a chicken Singapore noodle with veg spring rolls. Could have been given a bigger portion of chili sauce and the dishes were a little greasy but nothing to complain about. Will order again as it was very tasty and service was good and it arrived in time for the final of the cricket and the tennis!!,

This is my third visit to Bonhomie since it changed from Belgique. I have to say that I was not particularly impressed with my previous two visits, having always ordered the avocado on toast. The first time it was served on white bread without having been given the option to chose another type of bread. Also, it was literally what it said in the tin i.e. a sliced avocado on a slice of white bread, no dressing. The second time I said that I would like to have it on brown bread please. Again, it came as a sliced avocado on a slice of bread. Both times it came with a poached egg and a minimum amount of garnish. Nothing to do with the nice avocado on toast served in other local cafés. For this reason, when my friend suggested Bonhomie today,  I said that I wasn't a fan. However, as it was convenient for it is local, we went. Our waiter was a young man, that couldn't understand my foreign accent, despite my having been in this country for 20 years, my partner being British and me being a professional person developing my profession in the area. I repeated my order of green tea, avocado on toast (I thought maybe third time lucky), no butter several times but he kept asking for my order time and time again, to the point of making me feel embarrassed. It has never happened to me anything like it before. The young man tried to excused himself saying that it wasn't my accent, that it had been a long day (it was 11am). When eventually the food came, it was the saddest thing I have ever been served in a café - a slice of bread (brown, thank goodness) with a mushy avocado on top, again no dressing and this time, no garnish and no egg. Due to the previous embarrasment, I decided not to complain anymore, my friend and I laughed and promised not to come back again on future occasions. When I arrived home, I told my partner what had happened  and he said that I should have complained, that it was not right that I was charged full price when my food was so below par and it was actually missing ingredients. I thought about going back on the following day to personally talk to the manager. Then I read the review when the owner said to a customer to go to McDonald's when the customer complained about the service (?), and I thought that I had already been sufficiently embarrassed in this establishment. Therefore, I wasn't going to risk to be told to go to McDonald's (or somewhere else). Not sure if McDonald's will be my choice next time, but it definitely won't be Bonhomie.

highly satisfied, 2 pizzas, good offer, a delicious mighty meaty and a veggie supreme, both large, very hot.

Apon arriving at the cafe that is just a 2 min walk from the station past the shed, I was greeted by friend staff and atmosphere. I ordered a breakfast and was not disappointed when it arrived! Lovely portions and lovely food and to top it off I sat outside along the river 🤩 The cafe is dog friendly so my Labrador was over the moon when he was given a free dog treat 🦴

Great food and friendly staff located inside a business centre in waltham abbey. I really enjoyed the breakfast and a nice selection of coffee to choose from. I've now been back a few times with family and never been disappointed. Keep up the good work Biz. Thanks Kev

Lovely Turkish restaurant, this is our favourite one so far!! Food is amazing, service is really good!! I ordered grilled mushrooms and the salmon fillet. My boyfriend ordered crispy battered prawns and chicken shish. He loved it!! I tried a bit of his chicken, tastes so good!!!!! Rice is soft, the salad is flavoursome and the salmon is beautiful!! We are 100% coming back here!!

Fantastic Spot for a Post-Walk Feast! After a 10 km walk through Epping Forest, we stopped by Filika Restaurant for lunch, and it was the perfect choice! The food was incredibly delicious, with every dish freshly made and bursting with flavor. The seating was comfortable, giving us a great chance to unwind and enjoy the beautiful, relaxed atmosphere. The Sunday lunch menu was spot-on, and the staff made us feel welcome. We’ll definitely be back soon! Highly recommended for anyone in the area.
