  “Was really hungry one day and found this gem hidden in the streets of Holborn. Has a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. The owners have a lot of hospitality towards their customers and are patient. I ordered a pasta and it was a solid 5 stars with excellent flavour. Really did fill me up after a long day. Will definitely be coming back here soon and highly recommend to everybody who sees this”

  “By far the best English breakfast in town and much more. Great service and super friendly as well. Also very clean and fresh everything. Would 100% recommend, and a short walk away to everything so it makes it even better!”

  “Wonderful food and superb people. Prevented my bag from being snatched whilst I had a wonderful lunch with my daughter. We were sat out side but the observant owners got rid of the potential thieves and shared the cctv with me. Totally recommend the food, service and wonderful owners. Thank you.”

  “Nestled discreetly down a quiet alleyway in London, the Little Venice Cafe is a true hidden gem. It offers a wonderfully quaint and lovely escape from the city hustle, making it an ideal spot for locals and travelers alike. For me, its location was particularly convenient, situated right across from the Citadines Apart'hotel Holborn-Covent Garden, offering an irresistible invitation for a quick, authentic breakfast. I indulge in a classic, Full English Breakfast. The plate arrived quickly—a testament to their efficiency—and was perfectly executed. It was everything a proper English breakfast should be: hearty, satisfying, and indeed, quintessentially English. It was clear that the ingredients were fresh and prepared with care, setting me up perfectly for the day ahead. To finish, I ordered a nice cup of espresso. It was a rich and flavourful end to the meal, providing that necessary caffeine kick without being bitter or weak. However, what truly elevates the Little Venice Cafe above the rest is the service. The owners were simply lovely, polite, and genuinely nice, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made me feel right at home. Great food is memorable, but genuine kindness is what guarantees a return visit. Highly recommended!”
