The staff were super friendly and helpful with the menu and took time to explain the specials to us. The decor feels classic American, and the food exceptional for the price point. We spent roughly £100 between two people for starters, mains and a bottle of wine. We ordered a broccoli and goats cheese dish for starter - it was sensational, also a wood pigeon dish which was cooked and seasoned very well. For mains we had a mackerel rillette and a steak with fries. The steak had perfectly rendered fat which was properly flamed, this gave it a nice crispy texture. Most places don't get this right. I'd most definitely return to this venue and am disappointed in myself for taking so long to visit - shame on me!

They are clearly proud of what they have achieved here and it really shines through in their demeanour. I felt the food was slightly hit or miss. The nicest thing we had was the tomatoes with whey vinaigrette and ricotta. The tomatoes actually tasted like tomatoes! The smoked trout was lovely although the dish's flavours were either fish or onion. It needed some acidity to bring it to life. The cabbage was fine too but you really need to work cabbage to make it shine. I liked the grilled aspect to the dish but the flavours fell a little flat. I did like the panelles. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. The presentation needed a little work and a different dip than ketchup would have made the dish more than just a fancy variant of chips and dip. All that said, we had a really nice visit. You can sit outside on a nice day and just enjoy the energy of Pop Brixton. It's fun! Super staff!

The place is above a bar and looks like a converted flat. Nothing fancy, just cozy and comfortable. From beginning to end, we were so happy. Even the bread and butter was delicious! Our table treats included kale chips, a dried meat with some sweetness and spice, and red beets on crunchy crackers. My descriptions aren't doing justice to the sophistication and care of the preparations, but these bites were more than pleasing and I could have eaten 10 of the kale chips. It's a good thing I didn't, because everything else that followed was delicious as well. The first course was a deconstructed fish "taco." The fish was kind of ceviche-like, and the clean fish flavor blended so well with the other flavors, including lime and jalapeno. There was an intermediate course not on the menu: a pâté with flat bread and a mustard sauce. Every aspect of this was delicious. The main course was smoked grouse, and it was perfection. The texture was so tender, and the smoky flavor was amazing. Perhaps the highlight of the meal was dessert: a sweet corn tart with popcorn ice cream. Wow, the corn tasted sweet, but in a good way. You could really taste the freshness of the corn, and it went perfectly with the texture of the pastry and the contrast with the saltiness of the ice cream. We were really full at this point, but this dessert was so good we had to finish it all. Being gluttons, we also had to polish off the delicious petit-fours: raspberry canelé and peach popsicles. Yum! The two chefs and founders, Remi and Aaron, were also the servers, and service was very friendly and attentive. It was reminiscent of going to a dinner party, except with professional (and very gifted) chefs. I was blown away with the range of foods we had; the different types of ingredients and preparations. I hope they find a suitable permanent space, and maintain the friendly vibe. I can't wait to try their cooking again soon!

Service was dreadfully slow. Some friendly, but could not cope. Starters were average but extremely tiny. A bit of a rip off. Clearly "English" artichokes were used as I have never seen such a disappointment of a vegetable. (See my photo for size). Two bites and done. Mains - burger was probably the only hit on the table. Other dishes to avoid, the stuffed corgettes, waterery tasteless matter, as if they had been frozen. The cote de boeuf, what a disgrace. Asked for medium rare, came bleu, not exactly the most tender piece of meat but this, this was dreadful. Fatty throughout, with tough stuff, the bone had some meat but not enough to take off nor was the meat tender enough. (See photo posted). Pure and simple, the meat was a joke. The manager excuse didn't work for me. After such a disappointment of a meal, we wanted to leave , although we would sit there for a while until service resumed again. Bill please! Let's get out now!
