5 stars all round! This café is a hidden gem in the city. It sits beneath the railway arches, which initially made me hesitant. However, with over 2,000 reviews and an average rating of 4.9, I had to see what the hype was about.The moment you step inside, you’re welcomed with warm smiles and seated within seconds. The space is much larger than the photos suggest. Service from Sid, who takes the orders, is friendly and knowledgeable, he knows the menu inside out.The food arrives quickly and is delicious, all at a reasonable price. We left full and satisfied with our choice for lunch. Definitely worth a visit for both office workers and tourists. And there’s far more on offer than just fried breakfasts.
What a great find, can see why it is 4.9 stars!Needed someone quick for lunch before taking the small to the tower and boy did this place deliver. Panini's were lovely and the chips were everything you could want from them, crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle.Can really recommend, it might look a bit odd from the outside but push that door open and head in!Staff were very friendly and the waiter was great! Slight mix up on the order but was sorted without fuss and quickly.This is going on my list of best finds in London
fantastic experience. I ordered a coffee, an orange juice, and a full English breakfast.The coffee was rich and well-balanced, served at the perfect temperature. The orange juice was from a carton rather than freshly squeezed, but that was a minor detail. The English breakfast was absolutely delicious and generously portioned. It included two eggs, crispy chips, baked beans, two pieces of bacon, two slices of toast, a large sausage, a slice of tomato, and grilled mushrooms. Everything was well-cooked, full of flavour, and served hot.The atmosphere in De Vine was warm and welcoming, making it easy to relax and feel well taken care of. The staff were attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience.I can’t say a bad word about this place. Everything was excellent, and I will definitely be coming back! Highly recommended.
I just arrived London and headed to the best breakfast restaurant. The man helped me to change two items sausage, and bacon to hash browns and extra free egg and slice of avocado. The other young waitress was so polite and friendly. Thank you for your great hospitality.
Absolutely lovely hidden gem at the heart of London! Typical English breakfast and meals, sandwiches as well. The owner is the kindest ever and welcomed us so nice! Should not miss stopping here for breakfast or lunch!
My friend and I were warmly welcomed in by Sid who showed us to a table and explained what was popular on the menu. I went with the full Monty which, in hindsight, we should have shared. The portions are healthy and the food came out hot and fresh. Sid checked in on us frequently ensuring we had everything we need. This is the perfect place to start your day on a positive (and full) note. Would definitely come back!
This was absolutely amazing choice! The place is fantastic. Food is excellent and the service so friendly, polite and making you feel very welcome. Recommend to everyone who is hungry around Tower Bridge. We went for breakfas;, full English - wonderful, omelette - amazing, one of us on carnivore diet god served whatever he needed. They make your plate up to your preference. Such a nice experience. Feeling welcome and like at home. Good coffee and beer too!
Visiting London we were looking for a Full English Breakfast and saw De Vine highly rated and close to our hotel, so we decided to give it a go. It was great. The food was really nice, and the service was awesome. My breakfast sandwich was much larger than I expected, and the focaccia (recommended by our waiter) was tender and very flavorful. My husband finished all his Full English, which I think speaks to its tastiness
