No.40 — Restaurant in London

Regrettably, our initial visit for coffee (and pastries!) was underwhelming. Lackluster looking, stale croissants and lukewarm coffee. Hmm! Will return to try more breakfast options and hope to update this review to a better one. A good start would be to replace the production-line pastries, which can be bought for a third of the price 100 metres away in Sainsburys or at Gregg's. The coffee needs to be better. White Hart Lane has been crying out for a good Café for many years, let's hope the recent additions rise to the occasion or inspire others to do better. If you like then please 👍 .

What a delight!

No40 is a relaxed, pleasant, down-to-earth neighbourhood coffee shop and bistro. It serves great organic coffee, light bites and delicious snacks during the day. (I haven't been in the evening.) It has free WiFi. The decor, tables and chairs are excellent.

It is owned and run by Anna, everything in it has her signature. A relief frankly that it isn't trying to be some hipster antipodean joint with sour coffee like so many hereabouts! It is honest, sociable and unpretentious.

It is also dog friendly :-) Otis was very welcome and happy to be there.

Mortlake needs more...

We came here for dinner and absolutely loved it. Everything was cooked perfectly. I had the steak with a a lovely creamy mash and perfectly sweet tomatoes. The steak was well cooked. The Halloumi salad with strawberries was really tasty and fresh. The starters were wonderful. Fresh figs wrapped in Parma Ham. A true delight. And the mozzarella with aubergine was equally tasty. The only thing I will say is that I would love a couple of craft beer choices as I don't drink Peroni due to its poor quality and there was not enough choices for the main courses. That's all easily...
