Silene LimMay 11, 2017We had the chili squid, dumplings, superfood salad and burger. Everything is delicious and the restaurant such a gem in the London Bridge area which reminds me of the meat packing district in NYC.

Ido BañosAugust 7, 2015Awesome dinner. The escallops where amazing... Ceviche has to improve, it looked more like a seabass tartar but really nice. The hake was... Undescriptable amazed it was so perfectly cooked!!Upvote1Downvote
Evina DiamApril 21, 2019Brunch and cocktails for the win! For cocktails try the Breakfast Martini (which is surprisingly strong 😆) and for brunch the avocado/feta benedict. Nice environment as well ;)

BrianDecember 8, 2013Great refurb. Although I prefer rustic in situ rather than installed. The campfire breakfast was a little disappointing as the beans were VERY al dente. But the buttermilk pancakes are amazing.UpvoteDownvote

Amanda FoleyNovember 27, 2012From the exterior, this place seems like just another slightly-posh Bermondsey St restaurant. Whilst it *is* on the fancier side, it's still a nice place to chill in the morning with a coffee.UpvoteDownvote
