William Peel Homestyle Hospitality at La Cafeteria – Walthamstow Located on Forest Road, La Cafeteria is the kind of place that feels like a second home. With its blend of Italian, Mediterranean, and café-style classics, it offers something for every mood — from a hearty brunch to a relaxed dinner or a late-night bite. The menu is broad but focused on comfort: pasta dishes, grilled meats, fresh salads, and indulgent desserts. We tried the lasagna and the grilled chicken with roasted vegetables — both were flavourful, well-seasoned, and served in generous portions. The tiramisu was a standout: creamy, rich, and clearly homemade. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with a mix of locals, families, and solo diners. The staff are friendly and attentive, often remembering regulars by name. Whether you’re popping in for a quick coffee or settling in for a full meal, you’re made to feel genuinely welcome. La Cafeteria also caters well to different dietary needs, offering vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, and it’s open from breakfast through late evening — a reliable go-to for any time of day. Final thought: If you’re after a cozy, unpretentious bistro with Mediterranean soul and a loyal local following, La Cafeteria is a lovely choice — generous, friendly, and full of flavour.

Jenny Hills Best pub in the area. Community-minded without being unwelcoming to everyone. Great selection of drinks, including gin and an outstanding cider collection. Hearty pub food including a decent vegetarian selection. Strikes a perfect balance between the cosy and traditional (its a beautiful, maze-like old building with a old-fashioned bar, beams and lots of books), and modern (food, non-overbearing music, football / rugby on low for those who want to watch). Theres a surprisingly spacious garden tucked away behind with cover and heating for cooler months.

Rose Yemelyanova I love this place... they have a great selection of food including Dosas and starters. Havent tried their biryanis yet but so far i am very impressed! Personally i think their masala chai is a bit meh, just tastes like black tea, but other than that i cant fault the service, the atmosphere or the food at all. Really lovely flavours, good price.

Tony The amount of food extra given is Excellent. On the order of 6 Boneless strips & Fries. Order 4 pieces and get 6 Value for money is exceptional. Totally recommended. Double Ringer burger is massive. Often rude customers is the downside. As well as the people hanging around outside intimidating you.

Nicolas Povall This is a nice, bright, and airy new restaurant with a modern feel, although it’s worth noting that the interior is very blue, which might not be to everyone’s taste. The menu offers a strong selection of popular favourites, including burgers, pizzas, kebabs, and peri-peri chicken, so there’s plenty of choice for different tastes. Prices are reasonable and good value for what you get, and the staff were spot on — friendly, attentive, and efficient throughout our visit. The only small negative, and it’s not a major issue, is that I personally think a drink should be included with the meals in the price, as this would make the overall offering even better.

Jessica MacLain We went to Alba Trattoria for a lovely birthday dinner and couldn’t recommend the restaurant more. Ambience, service, food, and drinks were all impeccable and the servers were more than happy to share recommendations with us. Really looking forward to our next visit here.
