Such a disappointment. Where do I begin?!
18.95 for a portion of LIVER?! Which contains two 1/4 inch slices and nothing more it is absolutely outrageous.
5 for 8 finger-sized slices of fried courgettes
Unfortunately, a first and a last. Wed rather save our money and not pay a babysitter and a 80 bill on top for such a waste

The best penne arrabiata in all of london (verified by my close Italian friends). I have been many times to this timeless place and will continue to come back.

Staying at La Gaffe was such a great experience. Right away I felt known by the team and like a local to the area. Lorenzo is a gem, he'll remember your name, what you're up to during the day, and how you like your coffee. The wifi is fast and supported three days of video and conference calls from my room. Lots of plugs in the rooms. Firm bed and ceiling fans that made the hot days feel breezy in the evening. The continental breakfast has a spread of eggs, ham, cheese, a variety of breads. I thought I'd go out to a coffee shop for breakfast at least one day, but found I enjoyed eating at the restaurant

What a little gem this place is. Spotlessly clean and quite charming. Staff always on hand and endlessly attentive. Nicely situated for visiting Hampstead Heath.
