Pedros is superb. Very efficient service, good prices and food, and extremely hardworking and friendly staff. The best cafe in Cricklewood, and hands down one of the best around

Asolutely brilliant cure for all hangovers.
Great breakfast menu and also for lunch and dinner, but you would have to try one of the breakfasts for sure.
Abviously don't be going to Pedro's for a candle light dinner with your loved one or with your boss for that matter,unless you find that construction site workers and old dears going by the name betty help you along for finding a little romance but if you dreaming of the best hangover cure or simply a bit of TLC comfort food then Pedro's is your place!
Also I love the idea of ordering an orange juice and then a litre glass bottle comes to your table like being back at primary school,same applies for milk.
The custom is very friendly and if you become a bit of a regular they've even been known to remember your name.
Good,Great Irish cooking even though its run by eastern europeans with an Irish heart and this is of course expressed through they're delicious food.
Warning! It's all very well going to Pedro's hungry, but be sure to not order more then you need as the portions are colossal! which is always great and far from stingy, far,far,far.

So enjoy! and as you can tell it suited me well over the years and try to remember that it is a greasy spoon and not the 'Ritz'.

This place is a laxidasial mess.

I'd decided to venture to Pedro's a few weeks ago, upon high recommendation from a "friend", who I am now in the persuit of suing for libel. Upon closing a major financial deal, myself and a party of Japanese City boys decided to "chillax" (as I believe the locals describe it).

For a start, there was no real service to speak of. There was no head waiter to greet us (a small thing, I know, but first impressions count) and the wine menu was lax, to say the least. When we went to the counter (!!!!) to order our food, we explained that we were in a celebratory mood and wished to dine on the most extravagant cuisine the premesis had to offer. The lollygagging troglodite taking our order gave us what I believe is referred to as a "fry-up". Thinking this was some form of European delicacy, my party agreed with great gusto.

What arrived on the plate was, quite frankly, disturbing. A few, flaccid eggs and some forms of meat which I've since been led to believe were called "bacon" and "sausages".

My bacon had hair on it and the sausages were moving. You could even hear the eggs being squeezed out of the chickens in the shoddy excuse for a "kitchen".

We left feeling thoroughly underwhelmed. Bad form, London. You promised the Earth and delivered a mess.

Can you put a price on perfection? 24th January 2008

Apparently, you can. Pedro's have gone and done it.

Despite their t-shirts being grammatically incorrect; this lovable gaff features, perhaps, the very best cuisine in London.

The waitresses are polite, friendly and are all good material as potential brides - if you have the money to marry these days. I did have a favourite, but she seems to have been snapped up already by an eligible chap. Fortunately, the turnover of waitresses is quite high, so it's really just a matter of time before I find a new suitable future bride.

Back to the food. Pedro's must have written the book on the "All-Day Breakfast". They serve it at the perfect temperature, with good portions, a good variety of savoury items and within a decent timeframe. You get an all-inclusive breakfast consisting of:

Toast
chips
Beans
Hash browns
Black pudding
Bacon
Fried mushrooms
Fried egg
Sausage
Tea/Coffee

- All for the sum of £5.65! If that's not a bargain, then my names not David Dickinson! For legal reasons, I should point out that it's not in fact David Dickinson or anything similar to it.

Other gourmet options available to the clientèle include:

Sausage and Mash
Beans and Mash
Sausage Sandwich
Chips
Chips and Mash
Toast
Toast and Mash
Spam and Mash

Tomato Ketchup and Salt are usually provided a la carte.

There's a strict dress code of no suits or smart, expensive clothing.

All joking aside, Pedro's probably really is one of the best local cafes in London with excellent service and prices.

Bon Appétit!

Well, maybe Pedros is just full of people called Pedro and their sign isn't grammatically incorrect.

Thought of that?

Hello All!

Some of your comments are very funny but Im still left wondering wether you were being serious or not..Moving on...I was born and raised in 'Sunny Cricklewood' and I can only say that Pedro's cafe has stuck by me through thick and thin and has always welcomed myself and my colossal other half with opend arms on a late saturday morning (very late may I add) with such comfort and grace. They have a vast breakfast menu and tends to all your good irish home cooking lunches and dinners also..even if it run by eastern europeans, Who Cares!
Great food, if I haven't said so already and gigantic portions which are always hard to finish and brilliant value for money..Sooo 3 cheers for Pedro's..puts a smile on my face anyway.
