Reviews in London

What a fab place this is! I went for the first time tonight after Carousel and its like a little gem tucked away in the tiny alleyway by the Coliseum, full of Dickensian rooms with beautiful dining tables and shelves of books and lots and lots of cognoscenti, serious people, radio 4 types and A list actors in evidence tucking into kind of smart comfort food and pisco sours. Its got a great atmosphere which is hard to describe but you just feel it right away, it is the opposite of corporate and very friendly and welcoming with everyone respecting each other and not staring at people, and the staff will never let you feel uncomfortable or second rate and they are as mad as a box of frogs! I can't wait to go again, its a really special place, the kind that makes memories.

Best thai restaurant in London I've tried. Pad Thai and Tom Yum Koong are pretty delicious.

The restaurant has just opened, but the things seem to be perfect. the foods are delicious.

We would like to come and visit your restaurant. Could you please advise the opening time from Monday to Sunday for Buffet. Also advise the number of non veg and veg starters, main course and the desserts. I believe the cost is £9:99 per person as per advertised by Lyca Radio. Can we bring Alcohol in the restaurant? Thanks for your time. PS: Your restaurant has been recommended by many people for quality of food.

Average food and staff and rude management. No wonder this place is always empty.

Fantastic evening with freshly made pasta and superb creme brûlée. Modern industrial design feel with fantastic light bulb and superb staff. Highly recommended

Bambinos was recently opend it was a fantastic relaxing place. food was cooked perfect, staff very respectful. I highly recommend this place and i will definetly visit again as i said i highly recommend it

The food, the service and the décor of Restaurant La Roma Bella welcomed my visitors to London in a most pleasurable way. They enjoyed Italian food, I devoured a jacket potato, and their children munched on the burgers. The food was served quickly and examining the fine hand-painted murals was a treat for all!

I invited my partner to il Fornello to celebrate her promotion. A very demanding lady indeed, she was highly pleased with the service, the food and the price. We both had steaks cooked to perfection. Thumbs up to you Il Fornello!

I brought my children here. The cheerful staff and vast selection of dishes catered to our needs fabulously. The pastas, pizzas and sorbets brought smiles to the kids faces! The excellent food, quick service and fantastic coffee made me very happy too! We give Trattoria Verdi a mark of 5/5!

Delicious food crosses all borders. The food at Yialousa Greek Taverna was sumptuous. We feasted on succulent mezes, moussaka and shish kebab. The manager and waitresses were very friendly--even the cook came out to greet us in his chef's hat! What fun we had at Yialousa Greek Taverna!

I would just like to say thank you to the manager and staff who made us feel very welcome yesterday when we visited the pub.. When we got to the pub it was packed the atmosphere was great and cheered us up, we ordered food which was really tasty ,We had a long journey back home and stayed in the pub a lot longer than we should of but really felt the pub was run properly and very clean and tidy .

I recently visited Crystal Palace because of work and went in to the Monkey Bread tree. It was empty when I walked past and fancied a quick bite to eat so I decided to pop in. First impressions where the decor was slightly weird, someone had basically just thrown a few tins of paint at the walls but I guess that could be "artistic". I waited for about five minutes to be seated but there was no one around, this coupled with the fact the place was FREEZING cold I decided to leave. I'm not sure if there is a lack of staff there or they do not pay for heating but it really put me off! Such a shame.

Very fun atmosphere. Not too many young people. drinks were very good!! Great place for after work drinks

We dropped in for a late lunch on Saturday afternoon while dodging the freezing weather after a walk at the Horniman Musuem. What a treat, !!!The decor was rich and vibrant and a spacious, bright and WARM, homely venue. We enjoyed some excellent starters and mains and the food was fresh, punchy and delicious!! The hosts were most friendly and service was just perfect - they cook everything to order. The menu really tantalised us both and we were not disappointed. We will be back very soon and it appears the menu changes and evolves and some classics always available. Gluten free and veggie available.The best part was the price - excellent food and drinks and such fantastic value for money. See you very soon!!!

We ate at The Monkey Bread Tree the other day. Its on Westow Hill right next to the closed down American diner. Its also family owned and run, so it has a very particular homely vibe about it. Very relaxed and warm.The place is quite quiet for the time being, although they did say that they've opened without any marketing, so I'm sure as word gets around it will get busy.Its decor is really vibrant and arty - the entire place is covered in all sorts of colours… and the menu matches it - it has a really great eclectic mix of items, and its really quite affordable. Its all made fresh (including the rolls which come with the pates), and they apparently keep changing the menu items to keep it unusual and a fun experience - so it won't remain the same all the time. Looking forward to trying more out on the menu, kind of felt as if we played it too safe on our first visit… we want to try to come back as they change things because some of the dishes they described as coming onto the menu soon sound really exciting.The chicken dish I ate, which was really succulent and well cooked, came with this potato filled pastry and a balsamic cabbage salad. I don’t know where it comes from, the type of food, but it was really great and unusual. I guess that’s why they say the restaurant is more international cuisine than anything else. It made for a really fun change on Crystal Palace high street, so I hope they hang around and get settled.They also make their own ice creams - some of which sounded really exciting like the apple and rosemary ice cream or Chinese apple. We settled for the Bakewell Sponge for dessert though, it was wonderful and really filling.

In Rubedo you can spend some quality time with natural wine, the owners Federico and Lorenzo, the chef Pascal show us that these artisanal wines don't merely pair with food, they enhance the experience. Amazing experience!!!! I have to say...

Just went for dinner @ The Monkey Bread Tree, never again. On first inspection it seems promising, inexpensive menu, nice wine good lighting, however it soon became clear, with the arrival of my main, that things were not as them seemed. The portions were tiny! And for£8.50 iI don't expect pretentious cuisine, I was very disappointed but thought that the pudding would make up for it, after waiting nearly 20 mins for it, it finally arrived a new twist on a bakewell tart I was promised what was delivered was a dry over cooked sponge with some very sorry looking fruit underneath, to add insult to injury I was also over charged, when I made it clear I was unhappy I did not get an apology I got excuses about how they've just opened, to me that is 30 quif down the drain, the only redeeming quality was the beer. I would not recommend it unless you've already eaten and enjoy spending money on pretentious, small portion food and slow service.
