Corzâ Cafe Bar Restaurant — Restaurant in London

Lovely big open space... absolutely beautiful in the summer with the wide open windows (French window style). Gorgeous coffee, lovely staff.

Update: This has become one of my favourite places. I have now been quite a few more times to this lovely restaurant for breakfast, brunch and for dinner. I have been there with family and also with friends. Everytime, it's been great service, great food and a great time. Last night, we went for dinner and the M'aitre d welcomed us and seated us. We preferred another table and the waitress very happily re-seated us. The waitress was so attentive and also professional. The maître d' took our orders and talked to us about the food and drink. When the food arrived, it was hot and so delicious. We had the grilled salmon with sauteed potatoes & cream spinach and the seafood risotto with extra side of roast vegetables. Both were so good. We will continue going there. It's a lovely place for breakfast, for brunch, lunch and dinner.

2nd Dec 2022 Update: It has been months..a year? Since my last update. We have continued to go to Corza for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But i felt an update was due because of some subtle changes that have been made.

We went for dinner last night with a group of friends and our kids. There are now red thick velvet curtains at the entrance door this immediately creates a refined luxe atmosphere. Same red thick curtains in doorways inside the restaurant leading to the ladies/gents. The lights at corza have always been dimmed at dinner but now there is even more lighting but they are all still dimmed. It's lovely. They have more paintings on the walls. A piano to the side. An unobtrusive mic and instrument stand. So we had live very beautiful gentle background music. Loved it! The singer and her partner were great. There are also different table settings to previous again giving an air of refinement and quality. The new dinner vibe at Corza subtly messages that dinner at Corza is for an adult crowd. They, however, always welcome children. And it was the same last night. Seating is also done in such a way that families are not seated in the midst of those out for a lovely adult evening. Very clever.

We all had delicious food and scrumptious dessert. The kids (3 x 6 year olds, a 12 year old & a 17 Yr old) also had a lovely evening. They had lots of choices from the dinner menu but were verbally offered food from the day-time kids menu also (we weren't given any kids menu - remember the subtle message mentioned earlier about this being an adult environment?) which was handy for dessert but otherwise the dinner menu met all our needs. There is no children dinner menu. Again, a nod to the subtle message.

I honestly can't praise the delicious-ness of the food here enough. I am in love with their chunky chips. So crunchy.

Fantastic selection of wine. We tried their Wicked Lady white Rosé (or is it Wicked Woman?) and it was delish. It's a sweet Rosé. I tend towards dry wines ideally but this wasn't too sweet. And did i say it was delish?

One criticism I do have was we were made to wait for ages before being attended to. There was a loong delay before our drink orders were taken. And an even longer delay before our food order was taken. We had been there over an hour before our food order got taken. The restaurant was full and such a great atmosphere but customers ..even groups who came after us were served before us. It wasn't a nice feeling. This has turned put to be such a loooong update!

Do try Corza out. You...

It was so bad I ended up having to ask for my money back and walk. Avoid if possible no respect for the customer. We ordered 2 simple breakfast eggs on toast ect (please note you have to pay when ordering). After nearly 40 minutes with no food or contact from staff, I went up to chase the member of staff and went into the kitchen to discover it had not been cooked yet. She promised the food would be 5 minutes, after 5 minutes a member of staff came to our table and asked if we would like a complimentary drink we said no just the food we had ordered that we had been promised would be done by now. She did not say anything, just walked away. after a further 10 minutes, I went inside to speak to the manager to find that the food still had not been cooked, so I asked for my money back. I was advised by the manager that on busy days like this, people have to wait upto 2hrs for their food in restaurants and as we were not at that yet, they were OK and not doing bad. I was shocked. I did get my money back when they had managed to find my order, but overall, it was a very poor experience. I was not the only person going up to chase...

We were looking for a seafood restaurant on the High Street of West Wickham and we saw this restaurant that, thanks to the menu displayed outside, convinced us to go in. Be careful what you want to eat, because the restaurant offers different menus based on the time. The environment is welcoming, clean and tidy, it has its own personality. The service is good, standard. We tried a few dishes, as a starter we took the one with salmon which honestly wasn't very tasty and the fried calamari was decent, the breading was detached from the fish. Then as a main course we took a very good seafood risotto and fresh pasta linguine with King Prawns, the latter was not well done, the pasta was not separated well, it was badly pre-cooked and the taste in general was below my expectations, too much tomato sauce. To drink I tried a Tubor Fiçi and sparkling water. The dessert with coffee was standard. I recommend it for breakfast, lunch or dinner but without big expectations, the usual cuisine that you find a...
