Asrin Chopani was so welcoming, really set a lovely tone. Her warmth made the whole evening feel relaxed. I had a glass of their house red with the lamb, and the pairing was spot on. A very pleasant visit.

The Reuben here is my new go-to. The meat was so tender, and the bread had this nice crisp to it. Just the right amount of cheese and kraut so it wasn&#39;t too heavy. A solid lunch spot!

Perfect for a quick catch-up over coffee! The staff were lovely and the food came out fast. Just a bit cosy inside, tables are close.

The English breakfast was generous and delicious. Staff were kind and quick, which made for a really comfortable visit.

When I booked this, it escaped me that it was situated in the Caf&eacute; Royal Hotel. What a beautiful setting, on the balcony of the main reception to the hotel; and what history. Adorning the walls are memorabilia of days gone by and the rich and famous, who frequented the hotel. For instance, adjacent the dining area is an annexe that was home to the final performance of David Bowie as his alter ego, Ziggy Stardust. Elsewhere, there are pictures of Lulu, Mick Jagger and Lou Reed and many others. We chose to eat from the set menu and the food was superb. Service was swift without being rushed, and tables are well spaced so even when busy there is no feeling of being cramped, indeed quite intimate at our generous round (as many of them are) table. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant as a must see place, and we&rsquo;ll be back too as it&rsquo;s just too good for a one off visit. As a post matinee theatre dinner, this was perfect for us, a haven in an otherwise bustling area of London.

Had the full English breakfast here. Portions are generous for the price, and the staff were really welcoming. The bacon was cooked just right, not too crispy. A solid, classic breakfast spot.

A decent spot for a quiet coffee. The selection of savouries and cakes is fine, and the location is pretty good. Coffee portions are generous. It felt a bit tucked away, but that adds to the relaxed feel.

A solid spot for a quick bite before a flight. The scones were good, tea was hot. Full breakfast and tea service available. Prices are fair. Convenient location made it a repeat stop for me.

The seafood linguine was the standout. Fresh clams, perfectly al dente pasta, a light but flavourful white wine sauce. Really hit the spot. They do have a decent gluten-free pasta option too, which is good to see. The place was packed, so things did take a while.

Flat white&#39;s always on point. Kennedy&#39;s a legend, makes you feel right at home. Good spot to park up with the laptop for a bit. Quick, no fuss.

Nice quick lunch spot. The chicken schnitzel came out fast and was crispy. Good portion for the price. Staff were friendly, got my order right away. The brownie was decent, a bit dry though. Solid for a quick bite.

The ruby hot chocolate is lovely. The seats are comfy too, which makes for a relaxed visit.

Popped in for a cake and ended up staying for two. They&#39;re just so fresh and light, not overly sweet at all. That lemon drizzle slice was something else. The whole place has such a cosy, welcoming vibe, perfect for a quiet afternoon.

Love the vibe here for catching up with friends. The Italian-Korean fusion is a fun twist, and the coffee is really smooth.

Been coming here for years, and the orange juice is always fresh and lovely. It&rsquo;s a small thing, but it&rsquo;s consistently good.

Been here a few times. It&#39;s clean and tidy, plenty of space to move around. Having their own toilet is a big plus, saves you having to go out somewhere else. Makes it easy for a quick lunch.

Really liked the freshness here. The ingredients felt top-notch, especially in the grilled octopus starter. It was simple but so flavourful. A bit pricey for the portion, but you can taste the quality.

Really nice vibe here, feels like dropping by a friend&#39;s place. Staff are super friendly.

Staff remembered my usual order. That personal touch makes a difference. Friendly without being overbearing. Just a solid, welcoming vibe every time.

Decent spot with generous portions. The lasagna was pretty good, and Halil is very welcoming. The jam rollie pollie was a nice touch.

Been coming here for years. The smoothies are consistently good, which is why I keep coming back.

The vegan naan wrap is the thing to get. The bread is fresh and soft, not dry at all. The spiced chickpea filling has a good kick to it, and the mint chutney cuts through it nicely. A solid choice if you&#39;re after something plant-based.

Nice spot for a catch-up with friends. Staff are quick and friendly, especially in the mornings.

The veggie breakfast is a solid choice. Portions are generous, I couldn&#39;t finish it all. The sourdough toast was really fresh and tasty. For the price, you get a lot on the plate.

They always remember my usual order here. It&#39;s a small thing, but it makes the whole visit feel a bit more personal and relaxed.

No queue when we got there. The French toast portion is huge, easily shared between two. It&rsquo;s well-priced for what you get. The hot chocolate and coffee were fine, nothing special.

Service was prompt and efficient. Staff were attentive without being intrusive. The place is spotless, which I appreciate. Good for a quick business lunch.

The classic salted beef sandwich was spot on, and the chips were lovely. A little English mustard on the side would have been perfect. Really comfortable spot to settle in for a relaxed lunch.

Nice spot for a solo meal. The steak and cheese breakfast was pretty good, generous portion too. Could do with a bit more seasoning, but the relaxed vibe was just right.

Perfect spot for a quick bite after walking around Hampton Court. Right by the bridge, super convenient. Got a burger and chips, came out fast. Exactly what you need when you&#39;re hungry and short on time.
