willows - (Near Lambeth, london)

5 /5 dana shockman: Recently came to Willow for a private brunch event and was absolutely blown away. I have never been served by such kind staff - especially with a big group. The brunch platter is incredible: taste, variety, presentation- 10/10. Amazing coffee too! I will absolutely be back!

5 /5 Ria Nash: We came for dinner on a Saturday evening. Great food options - sharing board for starter and 3 sharing plates for main. Really welcoming and friendly staff (thanks Sam) and a lovely atmosphere throughout the restaurant.

4 /5 Minkee Chong: The atmosphere at Willows is genuinely relaxing: soft lighting, comfortable seating, and a calm that makes it perfect for a laid-back meal with friends or a date.Service is polite but a bit hands-off; a little more warmth or check-ins would go a long way.The food is the star: every one of the five small plates we tried was excellent—creative, beautifully seasoned, and full of flavour. The tasting-menu style works really well when you want variety rather than a huge main.Only real downside: portions are deliberately small and the bill adds up fast. It’s definitely on the expensive side for what you get. A great spot when you’re in the mood to chill, share plates, and enjoy high-quality cooking—just know you’re paying premium prices for the experience. Perfect for a treat or special occasion. Recommended with that caveat.

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.

4 /5 S P: Willows offers a nice and relaxing atmosphere. The service was okay but could be improved with more customer engagement. The food came in small portions across different dishes, which was great for trying a variety of flavors. We selected five dishes, and every one of them was surprisingly tasty. A lovely place to chill and enjoy a flavorful dining experience.
