Amazing food, beautifully cooked and friendly service. My only complaint is that the cheeseboard consisted of three small pieces of cheese that were straight out of the fridge. Other than that, superb.

We were looking forward to Sardine and enjoyed our meal. I chose the pork and it was delicious. I do sometimes wonder why restaurants choose to have an open kitchen. As a woman, the last thing I want to be faced with during my evening is the sight of sweaty chefs and grimy saucepans. In addition to that the space is drafty and we were sitting at the door end of the long table. I think Sardine could improve the comfort/aesthetics of the restaurant. The staff were courteous and attentive, and the service was faultless. Well done!

Found the food quite average & over salted. Seems like a nice neighbourhood restaurant but not one I will be going back to.

What a gem! We came for brunch and really enjoyed the cassoulet. The food, ambiance and service were all exceptional. An essential when visiting the Victoria Miro or Parasol Unit galleries

Four of us for dinner. We booked under the London Festival Scheme: not really impressed by the menu so we chose a la carte. Trevise compotee was a new taste really appreciated. Pork, fish, clams, lentils - I think I can say everything was good and tasty. Presentation/plate-up was far from being super sophisticated but it actually suited the place's style and we didn't mind as the taste was good. Didn't try the cheese myself but I know well the provider Mons - who is a proper cheese refiner, so I'm sure it must be good ;-) Service was okay - nothing really special. It was overall a good evening - good food, good wine, decent service. Only hiccup: the horrible smell that suddenly invaded the restaurant towards the end of the evening and one of the chef brushing his teeth in the kitchen (?)

This restaurant was a very pleasant surprise. We went for brunch on a Sunday; unfortunately it was empty and we couldn’t understand why as the food was excellent. There wasn’t an extensive menu, but the food was beautifully prepared and delicious. The service was excellent. This place is not in a very bustling location so maybe it hasn’t been discovered yet. Definitely worth a try!
