Old Compton Brasserie - (Near Westminster, South East)

Alexey Subach Exceptional experience with their special Valentine’s Day tasting menu. The interior was nice, the staff were friendly and welcoming, the cutlery and crockery were really great. The bread with leek butter were simply amazing - the bread was warm and custom made and the butter was uncommon and delicious. The scallop croustade was good although the flavour was a bit on the simpler side (classic scallop and citrus combination) - still a good starter. Tuna tartare was amazing, halibut dish wasn’t perfect as the fish was overcooked in my opinion but the sauce was out of this world and put everything in order. The duck breast was truly great as well - tender with a crusty skin and paired well with the beetroot which wasn’t overly earthy. The dessert - chocolate mousse - was a bit on the simpler side and the crusty but was a bit too hard but still the balance was there and this was a pleasant dish with a nice twist of burnt grapefruit. Overall, this is one of those experiences where the value for money is clear. Forest cocktail was great - the flavours were rich and silky. The only small downside was that the cream on the top was a bit difficult to sip with the cocktail itself. All in all, a great place which I recommend especially for occasions when they have those tasting menus as the chef is really talented.

Femke2 Van Dommelen Love the food and the people who run the restaurant! It was the best English breakfast I ever had for a very good price (had to pay in cash). Will definitely return to eat there again.

Pokin Utaisup First time staying around the Shepherd’s Bush area and I stumbled upon this interesting concept restaurant. The food and atmosphere were perfect, exactly what I needed after a long day of travelling. I really enjoyed Tomapork, the pork steak with Thai flavours, and all the cocktails were excellent. The Hoxton beer was a great touch for a beer lover like me too. A special thank you to Mai, who provided outstanding service. I’ll definitely be coming back the next time I’m in London.

Rosie Quick We found this charm walking past it! The pizzas (4 girls with different choices) were all super yum! We also had the 4 dips which were all delicious! The house red was also lovely too! We will be back! The owner was so kind and friendly vibes too!

Justin Rogers-Cooper This is “the” cinnamon roll of all the dozens I’ve tried here in London and in New York, with the only comparison being Sunday Morning in Manhattan. Having said that, the other treats here exceed expectation and might be tops in Teddington: the classic brownie, the biscoff New York roll, a salted caramel brownie. Savory, gooey, buttery, memorable. Anyone passing through the area with a keen sweet tooth shouldn’t let Parsnips pass.

Haily Very busy since they are after all the best coffee place in London. Points to improve - spilled coffee can get your loyal customers dirty. Better to serve a clean one The new vegan sandwich- taste is a bit neutral.
