Cafe Deco is a very special place. The menu changes with the seasons, and - as we're almost in December - I had a wonderful earthy salad of potato, artichokes and parsley, followed by a pumpkin stew. There's nothing especially spectacular about the food they serve - it's just excellent fresh ingredients, beautifully cooked. Indeed, if you nip downstairs to the bathroom, you can see the chefs making your meal. The decor is soothing, the place is reasonably quiet so you can have a conversation here, and the staff are just brilliant: attentive, enthusiastic, and very happy to explain the menu if there's anything you don't understand.

Food was excellent, wish we went for the 13 course, just to try the fatty tuna but I was surprisingly full with 11 courses. The bread and butter was an unexpected surprise too. Overall everything was good and would go back again.

This was, without a doubt, the best dining experience we have had this week in London. My family of 12 was welcomed as if we were part of their family, the food was superb, and we will return. The friendly staff/proprietors brought personality to the experience. We love “pots and pans” and highly recommend this to anyone looking for a nice dining experience.

I took a colleague to lunch to celebrate her birthday and so glad I chose the Fitz's Brasserie. The whole experience from being greeted, to having our coats taken, to being seated, to ordering, to eating and finally to paying (!) was very enjoyable and my friend was delighted and surprised by the birthday 'plate' which was a lovely touch. A big thank you and mention to our server (sorry I didn't take his name) who was friendly, professional, attentive and a total credit to the restaurant. I forgot to mention that the food was delicious as well...
