Lantana London Bridge — Restaurant in London

Your experience really depends on who is working on the day.

I actually first came few years ago for weekend brunch without a booking and was told there was no space. When I asked if I could put my name down and wait for a table, FOH rather rudely told us that there was no space, end of. So we went to Caravan around the corner who gladly took us in with much friendlier staff.

After that experience, I never returned until a couple weeks ago when I gave it another go. The food was great! Average service with a new waiter on his first day forgetting our order but the manager gave us banana bread on the house to take away as an apology which was a nice touch.

With that better experience I returned again today, however there was another team of staff on just didn’t seem like they cared. The waitress gave off the impression that she didn’t want to be there. The food was also definitely not as good so I assume the kitchen staff was different. I have a discount card for 25% off on the weekend and had emailed the restaurant prior, and received a reply from a Rachael confirming the discount. When we paid the bill the staff initially refused to give us 25% off despite me showing them the email chain, saying Rachael didn’t work there anymore. It was only after persistence they honoured the discount with reluctance.

I was almost swayed to be a regular after my good experience couple weeks ago but after today I realised that it is too much of a lottery to rely on this place as a regular brunch spot. Until they sort their staff out with some consistent service I will not be back. After all, there many other brunch spots around the area with equal if not better food and much more reliable service, I’d recommend spending your...

had such a lovely time here!!

first of all, can we just take a moment to appreciate the interior design of the cafe?? feel in love the moment i walked in - loved the bright, airy feel of the place.

unfortunately i came without a reservation on a saturday, probably the worst timing, and had to get a seat downstairs. was slightly disappointed as their basement had a completely different vibe as it was so dark and empty. would recommend that you come at a less busy time to get a seat upstairs!

while i was slightly let down, the food came pretty quickly and i was put into a good mood again because the food was SO amazing. it was so aesthetic, yet very healthy and tasty and refreshing - who knew healthy food could taste so good?? we got the duck hash (£11.90) and the courgette bread with halloumi (£11.90) - absolutely loved the duck hash - the confit duck was surprisingly tender and flavourful, and the kale was so fresh - this was such an uplifting dish that makes you feel so healthy and happy! the courgette bread on the other hand, was a heavier dish. while i absolutely loved the courgette bread, which was super interesting as it was savoury but also slightly sweet and buttery. the egg was perfectly poached and goes so well with the bread and the two sauces. my only complain would be the halloumi - i couldn’t even finish it as it was too salty for me and a tad too dry.

overall, i had a great time here and would love...
