5 /5 Iryna Matyev: Willows is one of my favourite brunch places in London, and honestly, it feels like a bit of a hidden gem. Their Scandinavian small‑plates concept is something I haven’t seen anywhere else in the city, and it makes the whole experience feel fresh, and a little bit special.
I visited in December and was really impressed by how accommodating the team were. I had to add two extra people to the booking at the last minute, and the staff handled it with genuine warmth and zero fuss. That set the tone for the whole visit — friendly, attentive service without ever feeling overbearing.
The food itself was exceptional. Every plate was beautifully fresh, full of flavour, and so well balanced that choosing what to order became the hardest part of the meal. Each dish complemented the next, and it’s clear that a lot of care goes into both the ingredients and the combinations. My friends loved it just as much as I did.
I honestly can’t fault Willows. It’s stylish without being pretentious, the food is outstanding, and the service is exactly what you hope for but rarely get. We’ll definitely be back very soon.
