Ormer Mayfair - (Near Westminster, london)

Nicole Setterfield Lovely little cafe/restaurant. Cosy, classy, flaming and comfortable atmosphere. Friendly service. Very good avocado and poached eggs on toast. Very naughty selection of pastries. A nice escape from the hustle and bustle of the main road.

Freddie Irwin Quickly become a favourite for us, delicious food at very fair prices. The prawn toast is comfortably the best we’ve ever come across and it’s awesome every time. Everything else we’ve tried is super too. Lovely team, 5 stars!

Pascal A. Schillings I had one of those meals that stays with you. The starters were clever without trying too hard, and the fish dish (mullet) ended up being the best fish I’ve eaten in a long time — smoky, delicate, just perfect. The lamb and the chicken meat course were spot on too: tender, cooked exactly right, beautifully presented. Service was genuinely lovely. The team knew when to appear and when to give space, and the sommelier deserves a special shout-out. He wasn’t pushing anything, just choosing wines that lifted each dish. You could easily skip the pairing, but honestly it turned a great dinner into something memorable. It is on the pricier side, and if there’s one thing I’d tweak, it’s the lighting — a touch more warmth would make the room feel as cozy as the food tastes. But I’ll be back. It was a great experience.

Andrew Jung It was hard to say with words, calm and peaceful in the morning. Antique, elegance and so nice to be there. Scorn was delicious as well.

Paul Leys We had a very enjoyable meal for 4 in a very hot Balham. We sat inside and no need to book even though we did. We ordered everything to be delivered asap. A great mix of authentic Indian food. Great music to bop along to as well. A great and cool evening!!

Tony B BONA FIDE really is the light on the other side of the street at Temple Fortune. Now they serve alcohol and have an improved outside space which seems to be a bit of a Sun trap and even more warm and welcoming then ever perfect for catching the Sun with a drink in hand. But now there’s even more reason to stop by then for a perfectly made coffee, they’ve recently been granted their alcohol licence! It’s lovely to finally have the option to enjoy a glass of wine or a cold beer, something this area has been missing for far too long. I’ve had their breakfast which is excellent by the way, but the other evening I wandered in after spotting someone enjoying a glass of wine with some nibbles and I’m so glad I did. They now stay open later, offering small tapas-style dishes a brilliant idea as well as larger dishes very tasty, that gives the place a relaxed, continental feel to visit in the evening as well. Attentive service, reasonable prices, and a welcoming vibe BONA FIDE is definitely one in this area to revisit again. Can also book for private parties. Will definitely be back more often. Thanks Tony
