    Stuffed rolled lamb breast with lamb croquettes
    Paul G.

    Well, this was a surprise. Great to have a new venue in Vauxhall. I was expecting a simple bar/diner, but actually the food is serious - really interesting and ambitious. a starter of Cromer crab was really strong crab flavour - lovely. Stuffed lamb breasts and lamb croquettes were a stunner for 'lamb two ways'. Dessert was rhubarb mille feuille - good to see creative use of ingredients in season. Finished with wonderful Espresso Martini. It's not cheap, but it is very good. We were just back on eurostar from France, and this was as good as anything we had on the other side of tLa Manche! Three course dinner for two with drinks £104. Go, before the chef moves on!

    Baked eggs a go-go. Frying pan included.

    A gorgeous spot for a weekend girly brunch! A little out of the way for me, but when a good friend decided to do a last minute Saturday brunch for her birthday I was more than happy to travel closer to her, and handily it's right by Vauxhall station. It's tucked into one of the railway arches but you soon forget that - they've done a great job in converting the place from essentially a windowless air raid shelter into a beautiful looking brasserie. Some clever mirrored walls and pretty lamp lighting goes a long way! I could've happily ordered almost anything on the menu, but eventually went with the Baked Eggs which was a beautiful mix of pesto-ey goodness with tomato, spinach and truffle mushrooms. I also instigated a second course (obviously) and we shared a couple of helpings of the blueberry pancakes between the seven of us. Delicious. The five stars though are really dedicated to our waitress. She was attentive, friendly and most importantly of all in our case, patient! Of the seven at the table I think only two of us asked for a dish as it came on the menu. The other five were either gluten-intolerant, dairy-free, trying out sugar-free, didn't like mushrooms, didn't like tomato, wanted a side that wasn't on the menu, or some combination of the above. Not that there's anything wrong with being specific about what you want to eat but it did become laughable after the fifth person asked to swap something out, plus I guess I just have a deep dislike for being awkward (is that a British thing?!). The waitress took it all in good humour though, even reassuring us that they'd had far worse (people swapping out avocado from the dish entitled Spiced Avocado, and so on). They also put candles onto one of the pancake helpings for the birthday girl which was very sweet - though sadly whilst they'd obeyed her dairy-free wish to put the creme fraiche on the side, they'd then put a knob of butter on top. But when the waitress saw the faces around the table fall she swiftly said she'd replace it without the butter, and did so without charge (though I would've happily kept the buttery portion they probably chucked out too!). We felt so well taken care of that we ended up sitting there chatting away happily for far longer than we'd intended. It was also combined with some confusion over the large poster of a naked man with strategically-placed vodka bottle in the ladies' loo - it didn't really fit the rest of the setting and begs the question of what's in the men's! It was a lovely brunch stop though and reasonable value for the setting - mains were mostly in the £7-9 range. It would work nicely for a brunch date I think, with the brasserie feel putting it just a notch above casual on the swishness scale :)

    Burgers are not good. Overcooked (even though asked for a medium) and poor choice of toppings.

    The Table Cafe is a gorgeous little eatery in London's Bankside neighborhood…read more The space is welcoming, with a warm red ceiling, light wood furniture and plants hanging and growing all over to give it a very natural feel. Their fare is also very light and natural tasting. We visited at lunch and I got the Table Brunch Burger which had egg, avocado, spinach, and tomato compote. So even though it was a burger, there were a lot of fresh ingredients in it! My friend got the Table Burger and loved her chicken too. We each got different fries to try - I got the sweet potato fries and she got the normal fries (chips). Both were great but I slightly preferred the sweet potato fries since they were something different that I'm not used to. The Table serves brunch too and that menu looked fantastic. We were there more toward lunch time though, so dang. Now the only downside is that it's not the cheapest place in existence to eat, but what in London is? I would definitely recommend checking out The Table for their very nice interior vibe and the delicious food offerings!

My friend and I stumbled across this cafe en route to an event and dropped in on our way home to try it. We both had a cup of herbal tea and I had a slice of cake. Staff were really friendly and it was a nice spot to spend an hour or so. The cafe also has various items for sale including plants, crockery, candles and kids items, however I found they were priced pretty high. This is why I dropped a star on my review as I found it was on the pricier side. Tea was £2 and a slice of cake/cupcake/pastry was £3. I did enjoy my tea and cake and the cake was homemade but it was a bit of a small portion to justify the £3 price. However I appreciate the vicinity of the cafe probably warrants the price and it is in quite a touristy area with the London Eye a 5 min walk away. The cafe has been there 4 months and it makes a change to visit a local business vs a chain cafe, hopefully it is here to stick around. So give it a go! Hopefully they will become a bit more generous with the portion sizes!!

Perfect seating area with electric fireplace, light jazz instrumentals, perfectly brewed tea and coffee, and just calming atmosphere. There isn't a huge sign that shouts where this place is, so I suggest you come and enjoy it before it gets too popular! This is truly a hidden gem and relaxing place to read a book, talk to friends, or just enjoy some time to yourself.

The tagine was very authentic and tasted just like the ones I had in Morocco. The lamb was nice and tender and was cooked in the traditional clay pot. The chicken and kofta salad was pretty good as well with a generous portion size, including veggies and rice. I also got a fresh orange juice, which I saw them freshly squeeze. It was around 35 GBP for all this, which is a pretty good value. The guy running the cafe, who I presume is the owner, is a very friendly man who is helpful with answering any questions (and I think he is probably Moroccan). The service speed is pretty quick as well. The only critique about this cafe is I have to say the environment is not all that nice. Aside from the fact that there is construction going on outside, the inside feels slightly dated. However, this actually kind of adds to the local / authentic vibe, so I didn't mind too much. Overall, I think Shrigley's is a great option if you are interested in trying some authentic Moroccan food in a casual environment.

As we were walking around Borough Market we saw the line for Bread Ahead and realized it was for the donut stand they had outside along the street. We had to jump on line and drool over the display of sugary goodness. We each tried a different donut and was not disappointed! So many varieties to choose from - coconut, lemon curd, blackcurrant cheesecake, seasalt caramel and honeycomb, and others. They don't skimp on the fillings as each bite was flavorful. Yum!

I'd reccomend checking out the bakery as this is where the fresh goodies are made and you're more likely to get the fresh batch here. Price wise, it's a bit steep. At 5£ per donut and 6.50£ for a piece of focaccia. But you're in a tourist area so high prices should be expected. We opted for the cheese focaccia that came right out from the oven. For 6£, it's not bad. It's pretty sizable and a good shareable snack! It's a good crusty bread and had a subtle garlic flavor with a blend of stringy cheese. If you like cheesy garlic bread, this is for you! Out of all the snacks you could get in the borough market, this is a solid option! But I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.
