"Like that single rose you 100% meant to buy on the way, Café Deco is small but perfectly formed. This British restaurant and wine bar in Bloomsbury is the kind of place where you whisper sweet nothings over a plate of incredibly tasteful—and tasty—food. The menu changes weekly, but think dover sole and the aphrodisiac prowess of a loquat mille-feuille. They also have a brilliant selection of low-intervention wines and a terrace out front that’s perfect for smug sipping." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
"When straight pint-sinking isn’t your game and a cocktail too early can end up with things going far too late, then you might want to consider an after-work venue that slows the pace a little. Where you can sit back with a glass of something sparkling, eye up the other table’s snacks, and enjoy aperitivo hour without it becoming a competitive sport. This is exactly what Café Deco’s terrace is for. Spectacularly sedate and with an excellent by-the-glass list that changes daily, the Bloomsbury restaurant and wine bar is a sanctuary. And the menu is just waiting for you to get involved." - jake missing
"A modern British restaurant that synthesizes influences—Jeremy Lee’s understatement, River Café–style ingredient worship, and Margot Henderson’s straightforwardness—into a whimsical yet integrated cooking style. Dishes range widely and confidently, from Polish zurek to pork tonnato and flaky beef-and-onion pies, all executed with conviction and an emphasis on well-treated humble ingredients; a covetable natural-wine list complements the quietly inventive, ingredient-forward menu." - ByAmiel Stanek
"Any dinner at a restaurant with ‘cafe’ in the name is bound to raise a couple of eyebrows, but Café Deco has proved itself to be a brilliant host for anyone and everyone. Most importantly, you can easily have a selfish solo three-course meal at this chic British spot in Bloomsbury—and there'll probably be a pudding with custard." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
"Café Deco is a dining establishment in London where Chef Hugh Corcoran was interviewed. Known for its intimate and cozy setting, it serves as a gathering place for rich conversations and culinary experiences." - ByAmiel Stanek
