“ I turned up at this place with no reservation on a Sunday and was accommodated in no time the the lovely lady at the door. They have very polite and nice staff. The drinks menu had an extensive choice of beverages and good selection of wine. The food was delicious, the beef with chips had a delicious peppercorn sauce. The bread and butter pudding was very tasty! ”

“ Even in such a crowded French-inspired-British-classics and nose-to-tail restaurant scene, Cafe Cecilia manages to stand out. Each dish was exceptional: the flavours are familiar but everything felt elevated — because of how well-executed each dish is and the quality of the ingredients. The standout dishes were the mackerel and the bread pudding. I don’t have the exact statistics but just based on my own experiences of dining out, this is one of the rare restaurants where at least half the chef are women. ”
