Food was great and the service even better! Kind and attentive. We had the Lamb and the steak, delicious. And for dessert we shared a cheesecake! Gluten free too. Plenty of gluten free options must not be fried, as there is cross contamination No picture of the mains as we were super hungry.
You MUST stop by to see Ffiona if you are in town. We first ate there over 15 years ago and we had such a great time that we just went back recently. Ffiona takes the time to read the menu and hang out with you. She is a true gem. And the food is simply amazing. Give it a try if you are in town!Food: 5/5
I liked the restaurant itself, a proper homely place. Sadly, the roast dinner was pretty terrible - watery gravy, old potatoes, very little flavour/seasoning. Probably should have ordered a breakfast, which looked decent.
This place looks cute with quaint knickknacks decorating the very tiny restaurant, but the food is just OK and completely overpriced for what you get. It seems almost all the people there are from out of town and coming there for the first time perhaps because of some of the good ?! reviews I see on Google and perhaps because it looks cute from outside. We were there for brunch, so perhaps other meals are different, but I really felt like we were rushed during our 45 minute brunch even though the place was not even a quarter full. Nearing the end of our meal, they even sat another couple at the same table as us - so strange. The food was OK, but portions were tiny and it was very basic for the price. I think there are better places to go for breakfast or brunch.
Originally, we were hesitant to come here because of the recent reviews, but the fact that the owner is actively involved in the restaurant convinced us to give it a try. We visited with our 5-year-old, and it's definitely a kid-friendly place. The staff is welcoming, and the food is absolutely incredible! They make you feel at home, and the food reflects that cozy, home-cooked vibe. We ordered the Sunday roast, and it tasted like Grandma herself had made it! Give it a try—you won’t be disappointed!
I watched a YouTube video on this place, and instantly booked a reservation. I was looking forward to this meal very much. The space was cramped, and I am claustrophobic, but that is my problem, not theirs. The first part of the meal was tremendous. The Chicken Kyiv is, quite possibly, the best in the world. The steak was magnificent. The garlic spinach was ok, and the roasted carrots were great. We asked for bread, and it was delivered to the wrong table, but that was neither here nor there. Then, we ordered a sticky toffee pudding for dessert. The pudding had a burnt taste that my wife and I both tasted immediately. The outside of the pudding had a burnt flavor. The inside was good. We ate around the dish, leaving the edges. I asked the owner’s sister, who was running front of house, if it was supposed to have the burnt flavor, and she told me, yes, that it is toffee and caramel. I have lived in the UK. I have visited several times. This dessert is a favorite of mine. I’ve probably had hundreds. I told her that this wasn’t the taste of caramel or toffee, but a burnt flavor. She told me it couldn’t have that taste, because she made it herself. I don’t like being talked down to. Maybe, as an American, she thought that my maybe my palate wasn’t refined enough. After she took away what we didn’t eat no offer of a second go at it or possibly another dessert, I walked outside before I said something I shouldn’t have. My wife paid the bill and the optional service charge, and we left. I have eaten everywhere around the world. I am polite knowing how some Americans can be, I tip even when it’s not customary, and I give honest feedback. I wanted Ffiona’s to be a regular stop for us in London. Sadly, I doubt I will be back. The chicken Kyiv cannot overcome the experience over the dessert. Ffiona’s was so close to being memorable, but the aftertaste of the dessert and the condescending tone ruined it.
My husband, son, and I visited Ffiona’s on a Sunday evening. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff, atmosphere, and food at this establishment. It not only tasted like a true home-cooked meal, but I felt as if I were part of the family. I was sad to leave once we finished our meal. It’s both family-friendly and absolutely lovely. We will all be returning, and I will always recommend it.
So happy we found this Kensington gem! Cozy wonderful place to have brunch. Claudia our server was lovely. The fruity fizz proseco drinks with fresh-squeezed OJ and the Bloody Mary with homemade horseradish got us off to a great start. The Vegetarian Breakfast, Queen's Scramble, and Chorizo and Sweet Potato Hash were excellent. And we topped it off with out-of-this-world French Toast with whipped cream, fresh fruit, and toffee syrup that we shared among the table. Will have to return to try all the dinner options!
We walked past Ffiona's and on a whim decided to see if they take walk ins, we were lucky and they cleaned up a table and we were seated by the door. Prices were fair for Kensington, the food quality was amazing and the portion size was excellent. The apple juice was cloudy which is my favourite, so they clearly do not skimp on the food side. The atmosphere was generally calm and collective, but there was one teenager whom I think could win "Loudest Talker of the Year". Sadly the service wasn't brilliant. We had long waits for the service side of things. The drinks and food came quickly after ordering, but ordering took a while, which is unusual since there were 3 staff members to 8 odd tables. There was a large wait for the bill, as we asked the gentlemen who seemed to forget so we had to ask twice. The older female waitress was adorable, she was so lovely, polite and warm. She did however had to clarify what we ordered so she could create a bill, and sadly she put on the service charge twice. She apologised and we know it was a mistake, so no worries. A big annoyance, which is arguably a good thing for Ffiona's is... we were sat by the door, and about every 5 minutes a group would walk in asking if they had any tables. Which they didn't as they were all reserved we were lucky, just it wore thin by the 6th-7th time it happened. However, we are very glad that there is demand for such a great place. The excellent food, warmth of the older waitress, lovely decor and warm atmosphere would give Ffiona's a 5/5, sadly there were some minor issues which could be easily rectified. I would recommend and return.
Cafe F-Fiona's in London deserves high praise for their exceptional hospitality and delicious offerings. Despite not having a reservation, they graciously accommodated me for brunch, which I'm truly thankful for, especially as a first-time visitor to London. The hostess greeted me with warmth and politeness, setting the tone for a delightful dining experience. The ambiance of the cafe was enchanting, with charming decorations and perfect lighting that enhanced the dining atmosphere. As for the English Breakfast, it was nothing short of amazing—I savored every last bite. I highly recommend Cafe F-Fiona's for breakfast or brunch, but do yourself a favor and make a reservation in advance to avoid any unexpected waits. Learn from my experience—don't be like me!
