Le Café du Marché - (Near City of London, london)

NMA Croudough, situated near Sadler’s Wells, offers a warm and thoughtfully curated dining environment, elevated by its stylish décor and welcoming atmosphere. The menu presents a well-considered range of options, making it suitable for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. Service is attentive and genuinely pleasant, contributing positively to the overall experience. The pizza selection is particularly commendable; while my own arrived slightly cooler than ideal, the flavours remained balanced and satisfying. Despite this minor misstep, Croudough delivers a confident, enjoyable meal and one I would readily return for.

Water Chung This was my first time experiencing a dining-in-the-dark restaurant, and it also happened to be a birthday celebration, which made it even more special. The entire experience felt fresh, unique, and surprisingly enjoyable. Our guide and server, Michael, was extremely professional and reassuring. His clear guidance helped ease any initial fear or discomfort of dining in complete darkness, allowing us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the experience. The quality of the food was excellent, and dining in the dark created a unique opportunity to focus purely on flavors and textures. It was also interesting and enjoyable to interact with others in the darkness, which added an unexpected social element to the evening. What truly surprised us was how time passed so quickly when we were fully focused on the food and conversation. It was a genuinely pleasant, memorable, and highly satisfying dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for something different and meaningful.

Jaime Ridley Amazing, made to feel so welcome and we were lucky enough to sit opposite the chef and watch the dishes come through! The food was full of flavour with every dish bringing a new delight!

Steve Gannon Great food and of course, an amazing choice of beer - bottles and on tap. The table service is fantastic, as soon as you near the bottom of the glass they’re taking your next order.

Anatori Sealife We stumbled upon Exmouth Market quite by chance yesterday and were delighted to find a familiar and trusted name – GAIL’s Bakery. It felt like a small reward after wandering through the charming street with its lively atmosphere and mix of cafés and shops. GAIL’s is one of those places where you know what to expect: reliable quality, friendly service, and a welcoming environment. This particular branch lived up to that reputation. The moment we stepped inside, the aroma of freshly baked bread and pastries set the tone. The staff were attentive, efficient, and genuinely warm, which made the experience even more pleasant. We ordered tea, coffee, a cinnamon bun, and a blueberry custard brioche – all staples for us when visiting GAIL’s. The drinks were spot-on: the tea brewed to the right strength, and the coffee had a lovely balance of flavour and depth. The cinnamon bun was just the way it should be – soft, slightly sticky, with just the right amount of sweetness. The blueberry custard brioche was a true highlight, with a creamy, indulgent filling complemented by the freshness of the fruit. The space itself is bright and comfortable, perfect for a short break or even a longer sit-down if you want to watch the world go by outside. The buzz of Exmouth Market adds to the charm, making it not just a bakery visit but part of a wider experience of this vibrant corner of London. Overall, this branch of GAIL’s reinforced why the brand is so well loved. Consistent quality, great bakes, and a calm, enjoyable setting – exactly what you hope for when you come across a trusted name in a new part of the city. Highly recommended.

Lam Mic We had such a lovely lunch on Saturday afternoon. I arrived with three friends and we were immediately greeted by a smiling member of staff who let us know there would be a short wait while another table finished up. We were seated very quickly, and from that point on everything felt relaxed and welcoming. The food was very good and the service was spot on throughout our visit. We live nearby and had been meaning to try it for a while, so we are really glad we finally did. It will definitely be somewhere we think of whenever we are planning a lunch or dinner out.
