Madeira Star - Lambeth

This restaurant was recommended to us by a neighbour for quality, quantity, service and price. We walked 2 miles from our London hotel on a damp morning to follow up this recommendation. We were not disappointed. We were attended to instantly, order taken soon and food on the table in good time. Our breakfasts were excellent and set us up for the day. Great.

I have visited this cafe on numerous occasions and always find it excellent. Food is good value and tasty, there is quite a wide choice, staff are all friendly and attentive. As a previous review said it’s not fine dining or a greasy spoons cafe somewhere in the middle and great for a casual breakfast or lunch.

Working close by, we decided on breakfast as one of our party had been here before. It is not fine dining, but not a greasy spoon either. It is just good, wholesome (albeit basic) food. Well cooked, nice sized portions, reasonably good produce. Staff attentive and friendly, reasonably quick service from order taken to food on the table. If you are a lover of a good old fashioned, satisfying breakfast, this is the place for you.

We booked a table for 20+ for a social work lunch and the café were extremely organised and served our food within 15 minutes of arriving. The staff were very accommodating of our requests and were both very friendly and efficient. We'll definitely be back.

Dropped in for breakfast (wide choice and great value) and really enjoyed it. Excellentt service and attention without being at all pushy. Lots of bustle at that time but I was left in peace to enjoy my coffee and read my paper.
