L’Opera of Brompton

This place is the perfect place to drink the famous arabic coffee and enjoy a wide selection of cheese cakes and all kind of cakes. They put a nice background music and the atmosphere is amazing. Just set back, relax and enjoy the moment.

My mother and I popped in for a quick snack after coming out of the V&A, we had a large plate of mixed salads which was absolutely delicious and so very fresh and then we had floral tea which was absolutely gorgeous! Lovely workers, and a beautify place, a lot of work has gone into making this place look as pretty as it does!

We went there for Lunch; we didn’t have any expectations on mind as we were passing by chance feeling hungry, yet the look of that place from the outside was very luxurious & rich, we were tempted to see what this place is all about.
Yet assuming from that place name we thought it offered french food but once when we were seated we discovered that they serve mediterranean cuisine
As to our orders we had 2 different salads, named Taboula & Fatosh; the vegetables were fresh yet they lacked sour & sweet seasoning that the meddteriam cousine salads are known of. ⁴⁄₁₀
We also had egg plants mixed with yogurt as one of the starters, it was way better than the salads. ⁷⁄₁₀
as for the main dish we shared grilled chicken with rice based upon the waiter suggestion that its the no.1 selling dish they have. Luckily it was the BEST part of the meal & we weren’t disappointed
For the drinks they didn’t have an epic menu of different cocktails, so i had my usual lemon with mint, it was very refreshing & it came in a big glass which was satisfactory.
Lastly, if you are a fan of the mediterranean cuisine then surely you wont be disappointed, your eyes & stomach will leave that place satisfied from the outstanding interior & the good food they have!
Cheers,

Wonderful food — horrific service. Be ready to wait for your dish even if you can see it there on the counter. I’d also highly advise getting the check up front. However, the salads are delightful and there is a huge range of choice.

Honestly, I’m shocked to see how well reviewed this place is. The service is alright but other than that this place has nothing going for it. The desserts might be better, I tried the Turkish delight and wasn’t a fan but the dinner food is awful. Perhaps even worse than the food is the atmosphere. My table and chairs were so small I felt like a giant and there is no consistency in the décor. I felt like some weird 90’s music video could have been filmed there. The entire time I was eating here I could only think of 2 things: this food isn’t good and I’m so confused by where the hell I am.
Only got the second star because of decent service, that wasn’t amazing either.

Wonderful flora teas. It is so interesting and engaging to watch the little flower bud bloom in your tea. Especially through a wine glass. The menu for the tea was so descriptive in showing the benefits off each. Also, the chocolate almond cake was so rich and dark. The red velvet had an interesting description. The red was made with real beet root but didn’t taste any different from Americas. At least the cake part didn’t. The cream in the cake was very good. Not too sweet but not flavorless. The staff was so attentive and friendly and the atmosphere made me feel so warm inside. The only thing I would complain about is the wifi. Even though I was warned it may not work I tried it anyway. As she said it did not work. Overall an enjoyable tea time.

Great lunch spot on a museum day. L’Opera is a great café close to the Natural History and V&A museums. I love their Mediterranean style lunch plates where you can choose 3 – 5 items (salads, main dishes). They also have amazing fresh juices.
Salads range from hummus and tzaziki to roast veggies and meat dishes. All the vegetarian options are delicious and you can mix and match any way you like. The staff is friendly and attentive and overall, it’s reasonably priced.
Highly recommended. (Note to self: must come back to try the cakes)

I don’t get this place, really. From the outside, one would think it’s a café with top quality cakes. What we had was pretty forgettable dessert as evidenced by the fact that I couldn’t tell you anymore what we had. Maybe you can go there for the ambience?

A small café in a nice shopping area. And outdoor tables are always a plus when there is nice weather. There are about four tables located in front of the café and lots of dining inside. I ordered a sandwich which came with a small salad that was delicious. My wife order a plate special and inside you can choose three items from an array of couscous, beet salad, tomato salad, tuna, rice, and many, many more. We had the pistachio almond cake displayed in the window which was also very nice. They have a lot of desserts and the whole experience was a great afternoon break. I recommend this if you are in the area shopping and want a nice tea break or go bigger and have lunch.

The food was fresh, delicious and available quickly which was perfect as we were looking for a quick lunch. The restaurant is very conveniently located. We found it on our way from the V&A to Harrods. We spoke with the owners of the establishment and we could feel the passion for the food in their conversation. We were quite surprised to learn the restaurant was newly opened (4 mos). The operation seemed smooth for such a young outlet. I highly recommend L’Opera. Bravo!
