"Cafe 12 is absolutely amazing. My partner and I visited yesterday and the service from Andre and his lovely host (sorry, I can't remember your name) was exceptional. This is the kind of local cafe that you want to support. We both ordered the lasagna, which was delicious and came in a generous portion. Andre, the owner, even brought us some fresh pesto that he had made himself. As we were enjoying our meal, he asked if we liked spicy food, and despite our confusion as our food was already there, Andre brought us a complimentary plate of chili carne to share. It was honestly the best chili I've ever had in my life, and he even took lots of pictures of us. The dishes featured fresh ingredients that I had never tried before, like green tomatoes, green peppercorns, and fresh scotch bonnet sauce. Everything was impeccable. Thank you so much, we will definitely be returning!"

This hidden place, in a suburb, with a small entrance, does not shine like the place to eat in London. The visible kitchen looks like that of the average eatery. However, the place is more than worth the trip. The small dining room, exiguous steps to the open air function room, have an imitable air of cosiness. The surprises come from the food, cooked and displayed with undeniable talent. Service is definitely personal, contributing to the atmosphere of this special place. We were initially suspicious when we saw, on TripAdvisor, few or no critical reviews, and a lot of reviews that verge on a collection of comments from a fan club. We can hereby confirm (1) there are good reasons for that;...

"A friend and I stumbled on to this neighbourhood restaurant by chance; no research, no booking, no expectations. We were then blown away by the quality of the food: wonderfully fresh fish, beautifully cooked. The service is also exemplary. I've always enjoyed calamari, but this was by far the best I've ever had: truly succulent and juicy. The mussels were almost as good, and the sea bream kept up the standard. The spiced quince with ice cream made a nice change from baclava in a Turkish restaurant (they still threw in some baclava). The owner, Tony, provides excellent recommendations — make sure you take them! He knows what's fresh that morning, and how his wife cooks it. The bill comes hand-written, and Tony forgot to include the wine (obviously I corrected him). I can't remember the last time a restaurant bill made a mistake in the customers' favour! No service charge is included, and it deserves a lot more than the usual 12.5%. This is a wonderful, old-fashioned restaurant, run by a charming old couple, committed to maintaining old-fashioned standards. The food is more than great and the prices more than reasonable. Service is personal, honest and responsive (providing Tony turns his hearing aid on). Tony warns you if anything you wanted was bought in, rather than home-made. Why don't unassuming but wonderful restaurants like this get Michelin stars?"
