The Riding House Cafe in City of London

I stopped at Riding House Cafe for a quick coffee break with my friends. Loved the quaint and calm atmosphere this cafe radiates.Excellent cup of cappuccino with friendly professional service.Would highly recommend to anyone needing a quiet place to work from in the middle of this busy city ! :)

I loved loved loved the pancakes 😍Definitely the best I've ever had. And mega large portion.We loved it so much we came twice in one week.Service could be a tiny little bit friendlier, but they're very well organised.Will definitely come again!

Had the full English for brunch. Great food and service. The beverages are also good too. I also liked the ambience, felt spacious.

overall: one of the best pancakes i’ve had in london~ great place for brunch, would recommend booking as it’s quite busy.artichoke dip 🍞: crispy cheese crust on top. very creamy dip, packed full of the strong lovely flavour of artichoke. the sourdough was toasted beautifully as well.pancakes 🥞: buttery & fluffy pancakes with a crispy ring on the edge. it’s ‘deep dish pancakes’ so it’s quite thick. the slight sourness of berries compote paired in harmony with the creamy clotted cream. don’t underestimate the hefty portion. probs one of best pancakes i had in london.

Christmas Prefix Dinner is Terrible.We just left after having one of the worst meals I’ve ever had - especially for the price.First off all, the portions are far too large for two people. Most prefix menus I’ve had at classy restaurants have multiple courses that are much smaller so you can enjoy a wide variety of carefully crafted dishes.To start, the beef tartar had clearly been sitting out because it was dry and stringy. The prawns were in a seaweed soup that made the whole table smell like the sea and tasted overly salty.Then the turkey was roasted to a crisp. So dry and flavorless. The stuffing and sausage tasted cheap and fatty. We also had the portobello and sweet potatoe Wellington. It wasn’t as bad but also nothing special.It all came with an overwhelming amount of carrots, Brussels sprouts (hard and undercooked) and other random veggies. My wife and I are two normal sized individuals so I don’t understand how the average person puts down this much food.Next there was a cheese board that we just skipped entirely to try and save room for the desert. They brought me the wrong desert (ordered the pudding, got the cheese cake) and so we just nibbled on the chocolate torte. Hard to mess that one up and it was decent. Skipped our pudding that was originally ordered because it was taking for ever.The only things we liked were the things we ordered on the side (a nice run mmm & rhubarb cocktail and some fresh juice).Overall, I’d say it was a waste of 200 pounds and damped out Christmas Day experience. I wish they would’ve offered to discount the meal as they saw we didn’t enjoy multiple dishes and downright skipped others.Go to a local pub instead on Christmas Day or just skip the prefix menus all together.

Food here was yummy, I was even able to bear the spicy heat of the hot dishes!I’m glad I went for the lobster lasagne!Staff were wonderful and attentive, on entry they asked the occasion my fella just said it’s a bday do and surprised our whole table with a bday chocolate dessert. We were all like 😶 who told them??If you like beer, they do a stein/mass(?). Wine is just as great.

My partner and I enjoyed a delicious brunch at the Riding House Cafe. He had a Burgerdict - great flavour but served on a very small plate. I had the toasted marshmallow deep dish pancakes with coconut clotted cream. The clotted cream was heavenly - I would go back for that alone! Pancakes were fluffy but dare I say too fluffy. They would crumble as soon as I tried to get it on my fork so it kept falling apart. Also not the easiest thing to eat.Overall, service was great, food was delicious and ambience was nice!

we had a great lunch, both servers were very friendly and helpful, the place was buzzy and the food was very tasty. The hostess could have been friendlier, but luckily you only speak briefly.

We had the most wonderful brunch here this morning. The staff were warm & welcoming & Aaron in particular took the time to chat to us & make us feel very much at home. The food as always was utterly delicious. Definitely the best way to spend a Sunday…or any day for that matter! Thank you RHC xx

Went for brunch on a Sunday morning. Food was fantastic. We had the pancakes with maple syrup and bacon, eggs Benedict and scrambled eggs on sourdough toast. Very tasty, decor was nice too. A bit pricey but that's London for you. Lovely food, just don't expect a smile from staff, you ain't getting any...
