86 The Broadway, London, SW19 1RH, United Kingdom, England
I visit all the time, last 4 years. Food is consistent but management is not.
I like to be a regular at many places for the personal touch. Missing here since managers and staff keep rotating.
Otherwise great.
Good value for money, especially the Aperito offer. They also have a deli corner now, after they close Mercato, which was locate inside the Grafton Shopping Mall. They sell nice Italian products, some as well from Greece and Spain. While for drinking and eating is great, the deli is a bit over priced.
First the easy bit - coffee & cake were excellent.
Now - the trickier subject of dogs in restaurants! We were greeted by the sight of five dogs - three of which sprawled out blocking both of the gangways through to the toilet! The couple who walked in in front of us decided not to stay. Various people tried to pick their way past the dogs to get to the toilet and then one of the dogs had the last laugh as it didn’t need to move from where it was sat to go to the toilet!! The owner quickly got her bag out to clear it up but….!
Outstanding breakfast. Had the dirty chai latte (insane) and a “the avocado” w/ added mushrooms and chilli oil. Holy smokes it was amazing. High quality, fresh ingredients. Really hit the spot. Gave me London cafe vibes. Get involved.
Friendly, buzzy restaurant with memorably delicious food. We really enjoyed everything we ordered but especially so the asparagus, lamb and patatas fritas. The service was excellent and helpful.
