Belmondo Coffee — Restaurant in London

Only our first visit, nice place, very welcoming, we sat outside as it was a nice day. The menu was a little limited if I'm honest (no sign of a chip anywhere) maybe my mistake for thinking this was more a cafe, but no drama's. The food was fantastic (hot salt beef, mustard pickles in toasted bread) the drinks also nice, iced coffees. The only negatives I have, were, the young lady that took our order wasn't very knowledgeable about things on the menu ( maybe a new starter so could be forgiven on that front) the time it took to actually come to take our order, and then the time it took to actually receive our food and drinks was a bit too long in my opinion.

The location was great and the atmosphere to my liking at least with free wi-fi. On some days dependent on staff working service fluctuated a bit.

Orpington is closest main crossing with all connections throughout England. Overall great public transportation...
