You look outside and you see south Kensington , cold , damp and dark . But as soon as you taste the ice cream from this place you will feel like you are in the heart of sunny Venice. Cheap (A small cup/cone is Â£2, while a medium cone/cup is only a bit more) and modern this place makes me feel like a child in a sweet shop. Me with a sweet tooth went for their chocolate chip flavour and was literally blown away by the taste. Probably the best I have ever had. The establishment itself is posh and elegant throughout. As you enter the shop on Bute Street you are greeted by two men in chef outfits in front of a massive array of ice creams and sorbets . Once you have got it you can sit on one of their comfy modern chairs and look out and try and realise why you are in south London and not Italy. The men were very talkative and very up-to-date with both the news and whats going on and me and the chef who served me chatted for about 20 mins while I ate my ice cream (more like 2 seeing how delicious it was)

Definitely recommend for a cheap and stylish way to have ice cream

As an avid baker (my waistline will vouch for the amount of cupcakes I bake!!) I had been really looking forward to trying the famous Hummingbird Bakery cupcakes. the shop itself is really cute and the staff were very friendly. But OMG the cakes.. my 3 year old had one bite and threw in the bin.. I lasted 2 bites... Rubbery, full to the brim of baking powder and tasting of a very fake vanilla extract. the biggest disappointment I have encountered..so far.. Style over substance!!

This place is quite rightly situated in the heart of South Ken, just beside the French Lycee. It is THE place where French people gather to buy their delicious French bread and patisseries. I will agree that the quality of their food is outstanding however it does come at a price, £17 for a Gallette des Rois. Ouch!!!. My advice is to avoid this place around 4pm. It is packed with French mums and their multiple offspring trying to chose their Goûter (4 o'clock snacks traditionally in the form of a croissant or a pain au chocolat)

Bagatelle also provides catering services for bigger groups. Private parties and corporate functions.

If you are after seriously good French sweets, this is place is for you.

A very relaxing place and very good food! Fantastic for take away. I also like sitting at the big table upstairs and read the papers, or relax downstairs on the comfy sofas. They also have yoga classes upstairs!A very relaxing place and very good food! Fantastic for take away.
