An eggsperience for anyone (and 3 friends) who love a tasty rich (massive) fried osterich egg although they will scramble it for you if preferred. Plus the rest of the breakfast bacon, sausage, tomato, mushroom and beans were really good as well. Don't forget to pre order your egg.

Amazing breakfast, my scrambled eggs were so rich and creamy and reddish, which suggest it’s good quality eggs, everything else was also well done (other than my fried egg which was over). However THE BEST part is the dessert, not an extensive menu but the Venetian doughnuts were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, so light and fluffy not greasy at all and the masala cream inside was super delicious, the blueberry cheesecake was also great. Defo would go back even just for those doughnuts

I was invited to a birthday lunch and I was amazed by the atmosphere, the food, and the service. we ordered 2 salads and the biggest burger in London which came with a candle and we sang "happy birthday" to our friend. This is a massive piece of culinary excellence. 6 of us couldn't manage it. Barry was the person looking after us and he did way better than the average service you usually get at a restaurant from this category. Very polite and friendly. Attentive and helpful. Definitely recommend

Florentine is an all-day dining brasserie-style restaurant in Waterloo and boy is it a top restaurant well worth your time. With a pan-European menu, it has slick interiors in low-lit settings that provides an intimate atmosphere. It's comfy as heck and great for groups as well as loved-up pairs. The food was fantastic. The rib-eye steak was meat perfection - juicy and just the way I like it. The tiramisu and Venetian doughnuts were also a sweet success. The outstanding item on the menu was the ravioli. It's just smothered in this incredibly buttery sauce with shavings of truffles that took it up a level. Noise level is generally kept to a minimum which allows for meaningful conversations to flow. Service was fabulous too. Receptionists are so welcoming and waiters are very attentive making sure your glass is always full. It's perfect for dates or to celebrate a special occasion (think birthdays). You won't regret coming to Florentine.

Excellent service and food. We had the Herculean burger and it was perfect for 4 people. Staff are super friendly as well. Only comment is if you want to have the Cote de boeuf, you'd have to pre-order it prior to your arrival.

Ostrich egg English breakfast is a must-have! Order fried instead of scrambled so you can take photo of the giant yolk. Pre-order recommendrd. Very friendly staff.
