Lively and fun place to visit
Good food and very friendly and helpful staff
Food good, a little noisy. Toilets a bit dirty too
Lovely coffee and atmosphere, and the staff are friendly. The food was a bit hit and miss. Two whole muffins for eggs royale is very generous but given they were whole and unbuttered, it was quite difficult to get through! My poached eggs were perfect, and the hollondaise sauce was lovely. I'd definitely go back but a few minor issues need ironing out.
The eggs in the shakshuka were overcooked - hard and rubbery. The servers replaced it, but it took a while and my friends all finished their meals before I was served. We also had to wait for our pre-booked table. Drinks were nice, waiters were friendly but busy so it was difficult to order.
Very good place for work, friendly staff and lovely ambiance
We ordered shakshuka, wasn’t nice as before, it looks like just they over cooked left over onion and pepper in tomato sauce.
Fantastic food flavours are excellent. The service was slow however it was busy. Would defiantly go again.
A huge THANK YOU to our wonderful and friendly, Andre. He was mostly on his own but gave us more than sufficient attention. He is a great asset to your establishment.
The food was astonishing and superb! Melt in your mouth pork was my favourite. The rest of our group absolutely loved every dish as well. (just a small one though as sticky toffee pudding is my favourite, the bottom bit was just slightly starchy... but still enjoyed it!).
I have been to your place before hence I did not hesitate to recommend it to our social bubble to celebrate Christmas before we head to our respective family for the Holidays. My friends thoroughly enjoyed the evening and thanked me for taking them there. So I would hands-down recommend you again.
Happy Christmas!
Hi FebeP, We really appreciate your lovely review as well as your feedback on the sticky toffee pudding and it's great to hear that your group all had a good and enjoyed the foo.! We'll be sure to pass on you compliments to Andre, it'll make his day! Merry Christmas! Fiona
One of the best brunch spots with the best pancakes!
Thanks for your lovely review about our brunch and our pancakes dish, we look forward to seeing you again soon!
So lovely to have the opportunity to dine out with the lovely folks at the RHC! A great alfresco Sunday lunch with friends - great food, super friendly staff and helpful as ever. The new out door heaters worked a treat! We'll be back soon - thanks.
Thanks for the great review FionaC, it's good to hear you really enjoyed your visit and appreciate the new developments made on the outdoor space. We look forward to seeing you again soon! Fiona
The food was delicious and the lychee martini cocktail was great. The waitress was friendly and welcoming. The only minus was the wait time for the table despite the booking and that the place seemed a bit too crowded. Will be coming back in the future
Really tasty food and great service, very attentive even though we were at an outdoor table and the indoor restaurant was busy.
Hi GeorgieH, Thank you so much for your kind words, it's great to hear that we made your visit enjoyable and looked after you well. We look forward to seeing you again! Fiona
Really enjoyed brunch here the best eggs benedict ever. High quality food the pancakes are great too. Just a little odd due to covid
Thank you for the lovely review MartinB, great to hear you enjoyed you brunch visit. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon! Fiona
This was our third time at Riding House Cafe & it didn’t disappoint. Great service, excellent safety measures in place for patrons & staff & the food & drinks were tasty. My eggs Benedict was sensational.
We were offered to stay longer than our allocated time as there were no other bookings & had some great chats with the lovely team. Looking forward to our next visit.
Hi BiancaV, It's great to hear that you've become a regular at the Riding House and we're chuffed that you enjoyed both the food and service on your last visit. We're looking forward to seeing you again too! Fiona
Really good buzzy place for lunch. Food was good and a good atmosphere. Love it that it’s not part of a chain (I don’t think!).
Hi Jojoada, Great to hear that you enjoyed your lunch visit to the Riding House. We are indeed independently owned, but do have another site in Victoria, The Rail House Cafe, which is equally lovely. We look forward to welcoming you back at either venue! Fiona
Atmospheric, beautiful decor and really yummy food. Great for brunch.
Thanks for the great review KV96, looking forward to welcoming you back soon! Fiona
We had an amazing experience at Riding House Cafe. They did a make up American Thanksgiving meal that was amazing. They were also able to cater for one person who was lactose intolerant and me as a vegetarian. They didn't just give us the vegan option and call it good. Instead the GM came over to speak to us, had the meal specially prepared for us, and checked we were happy. Both of us thought our meals were delicious. We will definitely be going back to The Riding House Cafe!
Hi Lori20, Thank you for leaving such a lovely review! It's great to hear you enjoyed you visit on our Thanksgiving evening. We take pride in doing our best to accommodate our guests and are glad you were well looked after. We hope to see you again soon! Fiona
The service was efficient and the staff were friendly. I feel the value of the quality of the food vs. the cost was slightly wrong.

Delicious food and super friendly service - well worth it!
Thank you for your kind review! We hope to welcome you back again soon! Fiona
The aubergine dip is 🤤. I really enjoyed a small rigatoni bowl with prawn and chicken skewers. All washed down with a tasty Albariño. Deeelish

Lovely food and atmosphere, an overall great dining experience.
Thank you for leaving such a lovely review, it's greatly appreciated. We hope to see you again soon! Fiona
This is the first restaurant I have been impressed by since moving to London. I shared the tasting menu and was astonished at its value for money. I am excited to visit again as soon as possible. The only downside to the tasting menu is that the main is not suitable for vegetarians.
Hi ZoekV, Thank you for leaving such a lovely review and also for your feedback on the tasting menu. It's great to hear how much you enjoyed your visit and we hope to see you again when we re-open our doors! Fiona
Great food, great service, great vibe/atmosphere - 10/10!

Thank you for your lovely review Helena, its great to hear that we can always be depended upon. We're looking forward to welcoming you back! Fiona
Very tasty food and nice friendly atmosphere!
No coconut milk on offer for the posh coffee. Sensor lights in gents loos went out and never came back on so grasped way out of the pitch black. Service a bit indifferent. No ondiment sauces offered for cooked breakfast. Terrific sausages though.
A quality place. We had a great time, thoroughly enjoyable!
Had a fantastic brunch over half term with my 5y old. She got colouring & absolutely loved our setting & the food. She had an apple juice with pancakes & bacon. A really big portion which I’m surprised she ate most of.
My scrambled eggs were too salty but the service & my daughters food was brilliant.
I still love RHC & can’t wait to go back with the whole family next time.
Always a solid experience. Great location, staff food and of course cocktails.
Thank you for the lovely review! We're glad to hear that you enjoy both the food and service and look forward to welcoming you back!
Staff are so nice and welcoming here, food is great, pancakes unreal

Exemplary food and service.
Our first trip to The Riding House Cafe and we will definitely be back! Great service and the food was amazing. We came for breakfast and there’s a great choice on their menu.
Hi PennyF, Thanks for taking the time to leave us such a lovley review. Great to hear that you enjoyed both the food and service on your visit and we look forward to welcoming you back! Fiona
As usual, had a nice meal here, it's my 'go-to' place for dinner when I'm in London.
Such a shame restaurants have to close at 2200 now as it does cut the evening short. No fault of RHC of course!
Hi Rebecca, Great to hear you always have a good time here and thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Hope to see you again soon! Fiona

Excellent ambience, staff were great although sometimes difficult to get a hold off but the exquisite food more than made up for it. Strongly recommended if ever in Fitzrovia
