There's always a warm welcome waiting for you at one of the best places to eat & drink wine in London. An unusual and delicious range of food together with an extensive wine list.
They have space in the back and it's rather nice to have a coffee there, their quiches and tarts are great ... This is an up and coming place
Marian CramersDecember 5, 2014Had an absolutely wonderful evening here, with gutsy wine, heavenly Gourmande platter and a very warm and genuine welcome from the staff. Will be back soon!
Fantastic little place (seats for dinner out the back; tables on street for breakfast). Great food (Italian and French) and friendly service.
Twenty Something LondonSeptember 12, 2013A fantastic blend of French and Italian cuisine. The Toulouse Sausages and Arancini had us coming back for more. Check out the full article here:
Rachel TitleySeptember 23, 2014The sharing platter is wondrous! Hardly enough room to fit it all on the table and the tastes were divine - as accommodating for foodies as for my 10 year old
Very good dinner too. Apparently they have a new chef since July. Definitely worth trying. The nice room in the back is better for larger groups.
Mark CoveyMarch 21, 2014Excellent sharing food and quality wine selection. Sit down space at the back. Would create more atmosphere though if turned lights down a tad. Otherwise great.
A SFebruary 2, 2015A very nice cozy place to go to when you want fuss free, a relaxed spot with great food and drink.- Helen SwainSeptember 2, 2013Second visit here, I love this place. Relaxed atmosphere, excellent products, pleasant staff... What's not to like!
Lizzie BarkerMarch 13, 2013Great coffee and focaccia. Would definitely come here again for the friendly staff and coffee :)
Eren ErmanSeptember 19, 2013Great place for a relaxed dinner and evening of food. Highly recommend the cheese dish!
Amalia GoutakiJuly 2, 2017Food was good, nothing amazing and quite pricey for pretty small portions. The street and sitting outside are great
Kit BiniJuly 30, 2015Very disappointing #Lemon-cake. It seemed that they used the oil in which they fried their egg or meat for making the lemon cake. Very expensive too.

"Super affordable and tasty pasta. Even though the silk handkerchief egg pasta is the most photogenic, it’s def not the best. Go for their spicy pork ragú or other options!"
