Em’s star rating
Café Service gets the balance just right. From sourdough bread with butter and devilled eggs to crisp croquettes and palourdes, everything feels precise and delicious. Dishes like the beef tartare, risotto al salto and perfectly cooked monkfish were the stars of the show. Absolutely loved this restaurant and will definitely be going back.
Fun fact
Café Service opened in the space of the former local favourite Café Stanny, but instead of wiping out the past, the owners kept the vintage bar’s old tiles, wooden counter and neighbourhood spirit while giving it a fresh bistro twist.
