Melting Point Bistro in Waltham Forest

Nice staff and food quality.Could invest in little refurbishment on tables ( the paint feels sticky) and lighting (dramatic spotlights).Overall is a pleasant experience. :)

Worse place to go pre ordered 3 days b4 food was not ready didn’t even have our booking!Very expensive 2 kids working there had to run to Tesco !Surprised this place is still opened !Can of beer £6.00 and only half a can .If u go there u must be desperate!Read all the other reviews don’t go there !

Amazing place! Feels like being in the lovely owner’s home having beautifully cooked tapas (etc) and she also makes the best cocktails! An absolute gem! Love love love this place! 😍

Very disappointed. heard great things about this place.Arrived the day before, told we didn't need to pre-book, so we didn't.Next day turned up to an empty restaurant, shortly after it opened. Took 20 minutes for some drinks. Chef had to run out for ingredients for the drinks!A table of 6 arrived. Apparently their booking hadn't gone through.Our food arrived - sadly 40 minutes later. The fondue was not to standard, and had a hair on the plate. we let chef know - " I'm sorry I've got a lot going on right now" which we took to mean it couldn't be remade or other food be ordered.Attempted to pay and met with some hostility about wanting to leave, rude and abrupt.I appreciate she was under pressure but this was inappropriate to a party of two, of one which was pregnant suffering severe food aversions.

Went in on Wednesday to ask if we needed to pre-book. We're advised we didn't need to. So turned up the next day on the Thursday.We ordered some tappas, mocktails/cocktails and fondue. Some items were not available, but most were. To our delight. Unfortunately it went down from there.- only one server who left us alone on the premises whilst she popped out to source ingredients- service from then on slow- asked to move tables as they had not made a note of a birthday booking next to us- the heating was inadequate keeping me freezing-both tables were sticky and glasses unclean and sticky- found a hair in the fondue (which we tbh didn't mention) and when we asked to change it to another cheese were told this was not possible as they wanted to prioritise other tables- they did however take this off the bill in the end- didn't have change for our money- broke 2 glasses in the backgroundOn the plus side, once the waitress stopped being defensive (as there was some sort of attitude throughout the service Inc. some reactions that I am not recording here due to privacy) the food was okay. Not amazing, but absolutely edible. Bread a little dry for my liking but I did enjoy the carrot salad & some of the other tapas. The place also had a nice atmosphere.Unfortunately the evening was spoilt so left early.

Amazing service we had this evening from Annaleise and kiki.Food is lovely, and service is outstanding.

Such a cute and cosy place. Staff are gorgeous and the cocktails were delicious! Will be back again!

Went there with my daughter to try somewhere new. Initially all seemed great, got a good seat outside and the staff were lovely. However. It took 10 minutes just to get 2 drinks and over 40 minutes to get 2 breakfasts, which when they eventually did arrive seriously looked like they'd just been reheated in a microwave. Eggs were undercooked and the sausages were brown-ish on one side but also looked totally undercooked. Beans had a film on them which I guess is where they'd been reheated? All of it was dripping in oil.If we hadn't been hungry, I would have just walked away and refused to pay. Instead we ate it to avoid a fuss and had to pay nearly £30 for the privilege. I would not go there again and will tell all my friends to avoid. 2 stars as the staff were lovely but the food most definitely was not!

Amazing food and wine with a really cost atmosphere (although best to book and get a spot with a heater)

Enjoyed a cosy evening here. Food is great!
