Cafe Deco
Based on Store Street in Bloomsbury Café Deco is a charming, chef-led restaurant that brings a refined yet relaxed dining experience to Central London. Spearheaded by Anna Tobias—formerly of the River Café and Rochelle Canteen—and backed by the team behind 40 Maltby Street, the restaurant offers a weekly changing menu that celebrates seasonal British produce with European influences. The intimate setting, featuring pastel tiling and a curved salmon-pink bar, evokes a vintage charm reminiscent of a 1930s café, making it a neighbourhood favourite for those seeking casual fine dining. Critics have praised Café Deco for its deceptively simple yet flavour-packed dishes. The Michelin Guide highlights the restaurant’s fresh, seasonal offerings and notes the chefs’ involvement in service, enhancing the intimate atmosphere. Hot Dinners commends the thoughtful cooking and reasonable pricing, describing it as “some of London’s best modern cooking”. With a natural wine list that changes alongside the menu, Café Deco provides a dining experience that is both comforting and sophisticated. Open for lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday, it’s an ideal spot for those seeking a chef-led, seasonal meal in an intimate setting.
