We were disappointed, especially knowing how good they were. The food is average, and the staff is nice but not effective. We all waited 50 minutes for our order, and they messed it up. Two girls waited for their salad for more than an hour, while all the others had already finished their food. They brought our drinks together with the food, which took more than 50 minutes. After that, they never removed our empty dishes. We asked for water three times. One couple next to us left because they had waited for 50 minutes. Because of this experience, we even decided not to order dessert. I am leaving my review because I remembered how nice this place was before.
We went to The Old Swan our first night in London. The food was delicious and their Notting Hill Lager was one of the best lagers I’ve had! Their steak and ale pie is worth the trip. It exactly what we needed after a long day of travel. If you’re in the area and want some good food and a charming atmosphere this is your spot!
I used to get quite a few pies when I was younger, but the Beef and Raclette Pie far surpasses any of those. Great service and allergy friendly. Loved having a pie and pint as our last meal here!
Tuve el menú 'sabor de Bugis' y me encantó cada curso. Gran relación calidad-precio y comida de sabor maravilloso. Calamares de sal y pimienta era maravilloso. Precios del vino buenos y grandes cócteles. Definitivamente iré de nuevo la próxima vez en el área
Be careful with this establishment/hotel and Booking.com. It's been permanently closed for months. Upon arriving and seeing such a state of disrepair, we spoke to a nearby establishment, and they said it's been like this for months. Completely closed. Several people have come with reservations and found this. Booking.com must know this perfectly well, but they haven't done anything for all of us who still had reservations open until you arrive in person and see that both the pub and Booking.com have tried to scam you. Then Booking.com washes its hands of the deal and finds the most sloppy options they have available, and if you "cancel," they say they'll only refund you half of your reservation... In short, scammers on both sides.
I have been frequenting Montparnasse Cafe for the last 5 years and I can only say good things about it. The owners are lovely and aren't afraid to have a personal relationship with customers, making the experience wonderful every time I visit. The staff are always exceptional, providing top shelf customer service. And last but not least, the food is fresh and leaves little to be desired. A definite recommendation for those who live in, or are visiting, Kensington.
