About Carpe Diem

Carpe Diem is a bistro at 1376 High Rd in London, with a menu that runs from breakfast through to dinner. Chicken Valdostana is on the specials menu, which sits alongside that wider range for anyone who wants something beyond the regular dishes. Breakfast comes with coffee, and the scrambled eggs and goats bruschetta arrives with a salad of peppers, avocado and olives. The chicken and chorizo burger covers the heartier end of the list. The kitchen prepares its food to order.

Customer Review Summary

Generous portions of fresh, home-cooked food are what reviewers return to most, and several say they leave stuffed. Named dishes include the chicken and chorizo burger, the chicken escalope with spaghetti, the Chicken Valdostana from the specials menu, the Kalamari Salad, scrambled eggs, and a goats bruschetta served with a salad of peppers, avocado and olives. Close behind is value for money, which one reviewer calls unbeatable, along with a warm, family-like atmosphere and friendly staff, including an owner described as welcoming and attentive. A few also mention the wide menu, outdoor seating, and consistent quality whether dining in, collecting or ordering delivery. The one recurring drawback is how busy the bistro gets. One visit found it packed, and another reviewer wishes it were bigger after stopping by a few times to find it full.

    “Had such a lovely experience at this cozy coffee spot today ☕✨ The food was absolutely delicious — full of flavor and clearly made with care. The portions were generous, which made it even better, as you really feel like you’re getting great value. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the kind of place where you instantly feel comfortable and relaxed. It’s the perfect little escape for a quiet coffee or a catch-up with friends. What made it truly special was the owner — so friendly, welcoming, and attentive. You can really feel the passion and heart behind the place. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to again soon 💛”

    “Visited this place with a friend of mine today. We were greeted by a lovely lady Called Fatima . The place was packed but we managed to get a table. We ordered some drinks and food. Everything was fresh and delicious. The portion was generous too. The menus were impressively diverse. The cafe itself has a warm, inviting atmosphere and they have table outside available too. The customers service was 10 out of 10 ✨Fatima was friendly and attentive.Highly recommended if you are looking for cafe with variety and quality 💚”

    “Really lovely home-cooked high quality food. I ordered the scrambled eggs and my mum the goats bruschetta along with coffee. Portions were generous and accompanying salad with peppers avocado and olives was delicious. All for £20 - great value for money compared to similar cafes like HollyBella. Staff were lovely! We will be back.”
