Ekstedt at The Yard - (Near Westminster, london)

Jon Sharp Serene location overlooking the lake. Good quality coffee and food. Was not to busy midweek so service was quick. Large outside seating area.

Paul Young Beautiful view before dinner.

Dominiki Nikolopoulou As a Greek living in London, Gea is by far my favourite Greek restaurant. I’ve already dined there twice, and I still can’t get over their tirokafteri (spicy feta dip) — one of the best I’ve ever tasted! Another thing that really stands out is the generous portion sizes, something you don’t usually find in London. The space is very cozy, and the soft Greek music in the background makes you feel right at home, especially if you’re Greek. But the best part came at the end of our meal. When they gave us the dessert menu, I spotted a dessert my grandmother used to make. I couldn’t believe it, and I couldn’t wait to try it. Not only was it absolutely delicious, but it tasted exactly the way she used to make it. That moment truly touched me and made me feel closer to home than I have in a long time. We also had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, and it was lovely to see such a warm, family-run business. My only small feedback would be that, even though the service was very warm, it does need a bit of improvement in terms of interaction, and to offer a slightly larger portion of bread, especially for a cuisine where bread plays such an important role. Overall, I highly recommend Gea if you enjoy good, authentic and of course Greek food. I can’t wait for my parents to visit London so I can take them back to Gea for another amazing experience!!

Jay V smith Went in for a quick one before home and there was a gentleman being rude to staff not sure why. They guy was really rude to the staff as I ordered a pint and he said something to the staff and continued talking over them. Not sure what his issue was as hadnt even been in the venue. Maybe just using the loo as waited for a bus. Dont like when people talk to staff that way. Sadly. The staff was great Massy I think she said. Really kool and collected considering the abuse. Will be back always.

Louise This was such an amazing brunch place! I loved the food, seating, interior and how quick the service was. The wait for a table was only short. We were in quickly and the service was super speedy getting the food to the table. I got the Young Betty which was perfect! The eggs were poached to perfection with a lovely bright orange yoke. We shared the brown butter banana cake and it was so yummy with such a soft sponge. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be coming back and 100% recommend to go here to everyone!

The London Guru Really enjoyed my lunch at Farmer J near St James’s Park. Great service from start to finish, super friendly staff. The food is excellent: plenty of healthy, nutritious options that actually taste good and feel fresh. Portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable for central London quality. Great value overall. Only downside was the cleanliness in some areas. Tables were a bit cramped (typical for busy spots), but more noticeably the bathroom was dirty. Sink was overflowing/wet and needed attention. It felt a bit neglected compared to the otherwise solid experience. Still, the food and service make it worth a visit if you’re after wholesome, tasty meals in the area. I’ll definitely go back, just hope they tidy up the facilities a bit!
