I haven't been here for a while and i really must go back! The food here is amazing, as is the service. Their menu is predominantly for the lighter bite, but they do have other delicious main meals as well. Lots of choice and everyone will find something to eat. its quite a trendy place and you also occasionally catch a glimpse of someone famous! Not going to name them though! I had fish and chips (i see a previous reviewer had them too!) and i thought they were fantastic, probably the best i've had so far! I have tried other food here and have been equally impressed. As you would expect, its not that cheap but well worth it for a good night out!]]> Sun, 14 Sep 2008 16:28:40 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1b22z9/202-cafe/158m56107998494 pindulgence 51.514073482637 -0.20142284204719 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1b22z9/202-cafe/1j2508

Great place with great food in a great location! The pancakes surely are good (as recommended by Belinda)! It's also a fashionable clothes store. Definitely worth a visit for a break during a busy Portobello Market day.]]> Mon, 09 Apr 2007 20:44:16 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1b22z9/202-cafe/146258636771665 benzevenbergen 51.514073482637 -0.20142284204719 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1b22z9/202-cafe/1n30q8

This is a place where a trendy crowd gathers in the weekends for a coffee or lunch. At 202 I have eaten the best fish and chips ever in London! As a greek new-comer in London I had no positive thoughts on British cuisine but when I tasted 202's fish and chips I must admit I didn't know what to say! However my friends' food was not as good so I give 4 stars for the atmosphere, crowd, and -of course- fish and chips! ]]> Sun, 03 Dec 2006 18:31:50 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1b22z9/202-cafe/1n30q8647007506 elena 51.514073482637 -0.20142284204719 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1b22z9/202-cafe/1j2098

To add to Arisp's and Belinda's reviews this place is great. It is quite quirky as it's not just a simple restaurant / cafe but also a cloth shop. You can come to 202 Cafe to have breakfast, brunch, or lunch. And whilst I'm sure they would be great for breakfast or lunch I've only tried it for brunch... and what a brunch it was! Definately one of the best places to have brunch. I have tried two different brunches there. The Buttermilk Pancakes that Belinda mentioned and the French toast and bacon with real maple syrup. now making French Toasts seems quite easy but making them correctly isn't. You want it to be tenderish in the centre and slightly golden and crispy on the outside... and 202 Cafe does it exactly like that. The staff are very professional, the juices are great and the coffee superb. What else could you ask for??? The only downside is that you can't reserve for a table and thus you would find yourself waiting for a table quite often. But if you're not in a hurry and your lady friend is happy to look around the clothes then be patient as you'll be richly rewarded with a superb brunch!]]> Thu, 02 Nov 2006 10:49:15 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1b22z9/202-cafe/1j2098347625368 walid 51.514073482637 -0.20142284204719 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1b22z9/202-cafe/1j5068

202 do a great breakfast before noon and also a great brunch menu after 12. I agree with Arisp that is gets very crowded on the weekend so if you can make it during the week you will have a nice relaxing time.

They have pavement seating out front and a lovely patio area out back - heated for winter! The staff are always very attentive and exceptionally professional.

We go to 202 often and I cannot fault it, I would definitely recommend 202 for breakfast/brunch/lunch. I love the Buttermilk Pancakes!

Update to my post: If anyone from 202 reads this.... please change the menu! aside from the specials (none of which are ever vegetarian) it hasn't changed in 2 years and we don't go there anymore because of it. *sniff*]]> Wed, 01 Nov 2006 13:14:05 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1b22z9/202-cafe/1j50681938442864 belinda 51.514073482637 -0.20142284204719 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1b22z9/202-cafe/149028

Top class place. Great for Sat or Sun brunch. Attracts a nice and varied Notting Hill crowd.

All of the dishes are great but ones to try are the french toast with bacon which is delicious and the scrambled eggs with salmon.

Tends to get a bit packed so either get there early or be prepared to wait for up to 45 minutes for a table during peak time.]]> Mon, 14 Aug 2006 20:05:55 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1b22z9/202-cafe/1490281162922355 arisp 51.514073482637 -0.20142284204719
