Small quant restaurant. The staff is very friendly and the food is very good. Was looking for a traditional English breakfast but don't like mushrooms or blood sausage so this was perfect. We went back twice as it was so good. I would highly recommend

Stopped by Cardinals of Mayfair for a quick coffee and was genuinely impressed! The coffee was smooth, rich, and full of flavor—definitely one of the better cups I’ve had recently. You can tell they take their brew seriously. Great spot if you’re a coffee lover looking for quality. Will definitely be back to try more!

An English Italian fusion restaurant. We ate lunch here. It was a small place but great food. During the usual eating times, it is a crowded place. When we were eating here we noticed that many locals also come here regularly. The staff is very nice and takes their jobs seriously. It seemed big and partly a family business. You also notice love but also professionalism. We were served very friendly and fast. The design is a classic old design but gives a lot of atmosphere to the place. It can seem a bit chaotic but that also makes the place lively. The food what top I had a pasta and other a classic English breakfast. It was really good tasting and also quite a lot. I can't remember for a moment if there was music on when we were there. I can remember not. But because the place was well stocked and everything going on in the place there was a lot of noise around you which made it feel good. All in all, definitely a place to eat!!!

This restaurant is simply a paradise for the taste buds! The pasta is cooked just right, with a chewy texture. Paired with the unique meat sauce, the rich and mellow flavor spreads on the tongue, making people unable to stop. The restaurant environment is elegant, with a unique British-style decoration, warm and comfortable. The waiters are friendly, professional, and patient, introducing the dishes in detail, making the dining experience excellent!

Friendly from the moment we walked in. Food was really tasty. Had to breathe in if you wanted the toilet as the cubicles are tiny but otherwise a fantastic place to eat and reasonably priced. Could tell there were several regulars there, which is always a good sign.

Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the food, service, and overall atmosphere. We appreciate your comment about the toilet cubicles — while their size is unfortunately something we can’t change due to the building layout, we’re glad it didn’t take away from your experience. It means a lot to us that you noticed the regulars and the welcoming vibe. We look forward to having you back again soon!

Staying close by and stopped in with kids for breakfast. We must have gotten there just before a rush and were seated quickly because it soon was a busy local spot. Food was great. Service was kind. Prices were reasonable - very much appreciated the a la carte options for the kids. Chatted with neighboring tables. Everyone was friendly.
