Most memorable dinner we have experienced in a year or more. …read more Beautiful trout with spring vegetables in a subtle glaze and chicken schnitzel with an aioli type sauce. Even the asparagus deserved its own review. Staff knew how to make the evening a hit including a very rare thing: a well mixed martini. Our meal was topped off with a perfect British sponge cake snuggled down in warm toffee and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The environment of casual benches and chairs with homemade cushions surprisingly served to make the relaxed ambiance the perfect background for the fine dining. The chef and staff share their process in an open kitchen which allows the diner to appreciate the whole experience. No one hurried us. Everyone was professional and lively. An evening we will not forget.,

Came for the full English breakfast based on others' reviews. Full English breakfast was on my…read morehusband's list of 'must do's' while in Britain. It did not disappoint. Everything on the plate was FANTASTIC. I especially want to note the bacon- I'm somewhat of a bacon snob and theirs was perfectly done. Thick and cooked enough to be sturdy but not overcooked and too crispy. My first time trying black pudding and I was a little hesitant, but it was also delicious. Highly recommend this place. I wish we were staying longer in London, we'd probably come back every morning!

I dislike nothing more than a disappointing dining experience...and this place was a real let down…read more The initial welcome was friendly and promising, but this did not continue. Service was terribly slow and ice cold, bordering on awkward at times. For a £17 burger, I was thoroughly underwhelmed from the moment it arrived- saddest looking bacon I've ever seen! One of my friends ordered a steak with a side of chips (my meal was to come with chips too) - without mentioning anything, they set one order on the table next to his steak. I enquired about my chips and was told that the order was for two...like, really? Why would you just randomly assume two people want to share something they ordered?! When I questioned this, the waiter replied rather rudely "sharing is caring". We were eventually brought our separate bowls of chips, but by that point I was put off by the curt service. Not impressed! On to the actual food. Gets a resounding meh, a mediocre burger with chewy bacon and bog standard chips. Condiments were displayed in fancy little dishes on a wooden board, but portions were super skimpy for a table of 5. Maybe this place should stop trying to be cool and trendy and actually focus on customer service and improving their food. In short, overpriced, mediocre food with a side of terrible service. Safe to say I won't be returning.

Best roast chicken that I've had in years!…read more Maybe I just ordered the best thing on the menu, but I was REALLY impressed. I'm surprised the Yelp reviews are not even better--and that this restaurant was not packed. The roast chicken with stuffing and gravy was so moist, so flavorful, and seasoned just right. And it was a half chicken so I really didn't have room for dessert. Fortunately, they serve a "mini chocolate cake," which makes up with flavor what it lacks in size. And the prices are quite reasonable by London standards. (26 pounds including tip). Be warned: the pornographic artwork and wallpaper in the men's room is not really kid-appropriate.

The atmosphere was cute, and kind of swanky, as it's a hotel. The prices were pretty reasonable, though, and the food was scrumptious.

Newly open on Baker Street!…read more Thank God. Seriously, previous tenant Canteen was such a 'wet blanket' restaurant. Wholly uninspired, bland and boring. I walked past it nearly daily and always thought "blech." I went once and never returned. So imagine my utter and complete delight as I returned from maternity leave this week to the hallows of Baker Street (and its myriad of somewhat crappy lunch options) to see a bright, beautiful, gleaming, large Natural Kitchen popped up here! Seriously, I smiled to myself and thought "YES, I am back to work and here is where I will eat!" And at my first opportunity, I did just this. Lunch with a colleague and I couldn't be any happier. The space is beautiful, a far cry from bleak Canteen. Natural Kitchen has a nice rustic kitchen feel with ample seating in the front sections (we snagged the last 2-top at 1:05pm yesterday, so the word is out) -- and a nice takeaway deli towards the back. I've been to the location on Marylebone High Street and really enjoyed it, but even better to have this outpost so close to "home away from home." This location at Baker is infinitely more spacious and inviting and much less chaotic. I had the Salmon Teriyaki Salad with beets and quinoa -- it was exceptional. I had the smaller portion and could not finish it, it came with an entire salmon filet. Very well portioned. Service was spot on. The only downside is it can get a bit pricey, but I have to say the food quality is high and in my opinion, worth it. It wouldn't be a daily lunch spot (unless you have a huge budget for lunch) but once in awhile its great and I'm sure a quick takeaway here and there would be lovely as well. I'm sure I'll be conducting many lunch meetings, breakfast meetings and coffee dates here in the future. Very excited to have replaced a boring option with one of great promise. NATURALLY!

I was being generous last time. I gave them a 4/5 when it actually deserved a 3/5 BUT I went back…read moreand WOW... 5/5 undoubtedly! This time the portion size was HUGE, completely filling my to-go box. And, seriously, the chicken shawarma was the most tender, moist, flavorful chicken I've had from a kebab shop. I was pleased with the service. He seemed enthusiastic and passionate about his job. He said, "This is going to be a good dinner!" as he passed me my meal. Needless to say, he was right. On Yelp it says they close at 7pm; that is incorrect. On most nights they close at 3am.

Elephant and Castle is just wrong. It is not a borough it is a giant trash bin. Even though there…read moreare businesses around it still feels like a desolate dump. When I'm trapped here during the day I don't stay for lunch; I go to London Bridge for my midday repast. I found this cute little sandwich spot called Café Rossi. For £3 you get a sandwich, a bag of crisps and a can of soda. It's cheap and it's filling. It's not a super gourmet luxury feast, but it's perfect for a quick bite to eat in the middle of the day and it's not too far from Elephant and Castle, so if you need a quick escape flee to this place.

I was greeted with cheerful smiles and friendliness each time. The first time I just went simple with a plain bagel, and they toasted it just enough where it wasn't over-toasted or under-toasted so that the butter wasn't soaking through the bagel. The second time around, I expanded and ordered a basic sandwich; it was a great portion and had lots of freshness from the taste of the ingredients. My partner had an English breakfast, and it was a generous portion as well. The little bites I was offered, that tasted great as well. It's a small little neighbourhood cafe, but I love the vibes and the people. When I come back to London, I will definitely be stopping by again.

I certainly appreciated it for that. They did actually do a decent coffee, which I ended up sitting at the table over the road from the place. Mind you, I probably shouldn't be all that surprised that many of them don't open until later because, well, it turns out that they are pretty close to the city.

It was the last dinner we had during our most recent trip to London, two weeks ago! It was a great way to end the trip We placed a reservation for dinner and ate there before seeing play that night. We would have stayed longer if the play wasn't starting soon after. The place has a great ambience. We quickly noticed how Ffiona treats her guest with care and kindness upon arrival. I let Ffiona know about not having dairy in my meals and she was clear on what could be adapted to not have dairy and which items to avoid completely. We truly enjoyed everything we ate, and had to be careful not to stuff ourselves. We had the sheppards pie, fish and chips, aubergine fritters, a tasty salad with some vegan cheese and a couple of desserts. They some great drink options too! We had a mocktail. Ffiona communicated that there was optional service charge that could be removed upon request before we even presented our card for payment. We did not have it removed due to the great service we recieved. Next time we are in London, we will surely make a visit here.
