Wonderful tasty food at very reasonable prices! Excellent friendly attentive service and very nice ambience. This place is indeed very charming and beautiful. Had very yummy salt n pepper calamari, tender and delicious in a very light batter. The panfried seabass on a bed of seafood was divine, the tomatobased broth delicate and the nice potatoes make sure that you do not leave hungry! Recommended!

This was one of the best lunches in recent memory on Saturday 4th Nov 23. We ordered calamari for starter and it was just perfectly crispy but tender at the same time with only a touch of batter additional plus tasty fresh chillies and spring onion rings. The main course pan fried sea bass filet on a very tasty seafood stew with shrimps, mussels, clams baby spinach and some potatoes exceeded all expectations and we have eaten fish and seafood in many restaurants in London, Amsterdam, Greece and other parts of the world, this has to be among the very best. And also really excellent value for money the main course had plenty of everything, big portion and cost less than 17£. Very discrete, attentive, friendly service. Everything else in the other tables looked really good too. You really need to try this place.

Very cute little cafe with excellent food, I really wasn't sure what to pick as multiple items on their menu sounded great!
If you're planning to come on a weekend, definitely book in advance, we arrived around 12 and saw multiple visitors turned away due to not having booked and no unbooked tables being free
Brunch/Breakfast menu on the weekend is served until 1pm with the main menu being served after this

Vegetarian Sunday Roast like no other. Finally found a place that does proper, tasty vegetarian version of the famous Sunday Roast. The nut roast served by the Monkey Leaf is not your boring piece of veg or even worse, paper-like meat imitation served to tick the box. It is actually well balanced, juicy and satisfying meal with amazing onion gravy and perfectly cooked root veggies. This should be an Everyday Roast. My partner said, the chicken option was also delicious. Great selection of juices and smoothies and other options on the menu worth trying. I'll be back!

Lovely little place nearby Streatham Hill Station. Food is on the healthy side, fresh, great smoothies, juices, everything is well balanced and tasty. Dishes are very refined, lot of care and thought behind what's served. Prices are reasonable, service is attentive. Would absolutely recommend!

You could easily walk passed this place without noticing - Don’t! I’ve just enjoyed a really fancy Eggs Benedict (pictured) at a reasonable price. Definitely worth a visit if like me you live nearby but don’t have anything nice in the fridge for breakfast! Winner!

An absolute hidden gem in Streatham. This is a beautiful and very welcoming cafe/ restaurant. Had a wonderful brunch today...freshly made plates of deliciousness...french toast with roasted peach and yogurt topped with fresh berries ..a very generous portion....all very reasonably priced. Cheerful and friendly staff always greeting you with a smile ...not to mention the shiniest apples I've ever seen .

What a fantastic place! Really tasty food and drink, everything beautifully presented and garnished - so much attention to detail! 😍
The breakfast burrito I had was quite wonderfully light and fresh, with the gentle crunch of the edamame giving a nice textual contrast to the softness of the egg. Their numerous variations on eggs Benedict are well worth exploring - with pulled pork, smoked salmon, chorizo...
Their cocktails alone are worth coming for; their truffled take on a bloody Mary is phenomenal.
Came here as a treat for brunch on Sunday but look forward to working my way through the rest of the menu - it all looks amazing!
