Still a great dining experience - London has some good restaurants but there are only a few great restaurants that are on my go to list. Waldos on King is one of those great places that... read more you know food and service will be always be top notch.
Small enough that you know that you will not have to wait hours for food or stand on the table to get your servers attention.
My only wish is that oysters are added to the menu and not just offered as an all to infrequent "special'
Delicious food and Amazing Experience - From start to finish, this restaurant did not disappoint! The Owner was extremely gracious with our seating choice, pleasant and easy to talk to! Our Server Scott was charming and... read more witty! He made the experience that much more exceptional!
And the food was absolutely amazing! We chose to try Waldo’s based on reviews and the Londonlicious menu selection they offered and I would highly recommend this lovely Restaurant!
Thank you to the team at Waldo’s for such a wonderful experience and we will be returning!
Delicious food and cozy atmosphere! - Very nice experience from start to finish. Walking into the restaurant you are immediately transported to a very comfortable atmosphere. Our waitress was very pleasant, and our food was very... read more flavourful.
The place is nice and clean. The tables are apart from each other, providing a safety distance between the clients. The pictures on the walls are very nice and there are a lot of mirrors giving a sensation of a bigger space. It is nice to see the chef cooking, and the staff is very polite and nice. All the plates have an amazing look and they also taste very good. We can feel the freshness of the veggies and all the elements are very well combined. We ate the burgers with salad and pasta salad, and we loved. A place to go with family and friends!

This restaurant has a metropolitan New York vibe to it with classic decor. Our server Lauren was friendly and knowledgeable about wine pairings and menu ingredients - one of my friends has a serious food allergy and Lauren put her mind at ease with careful preparation of her meal.
Great place, very nice inside. Food was amazing - have been to Plant Matter Kitchen in Wortley but first time for Bistro. Went for Londonlicious blizzard edition. Jazmin served us, was amazing and accommodating. Very knowledgeable and pleasant. Definitely worth a go if you’re vegan, vegetarian, or curious!

A work lunch brought me here but I was curious to try since it came on the scene. The space is long, deep with tall ceilings so the atmosphere can be quite boisterous when full. Our party was 10 people and we pre-ordered but our meals still took a little while - they claimed a rush before we showed up. Not really an issue, unless time is a concern. However, even with (despite?) the pre-order, our presence was kinda...overlooked? No drink orders taken without prompting and the servers seemed very disorganized.
My meal was the Po'boy sandwich (crispy tofu | avocado | lettuce | tomato | onion | garlic aioli) with a side Caesar salad. The tofu had a great crispy batter and all the toppings worked very well together. The salad was good, the classic taste not missing a bit, but the lettuce was a bit wilted/soggy. I ordered the chocolate cheesecake as well and was very happy with every bite.
My first time at a vegan restaurant and I was not disappointed.
We shared three different mains (ranked in order of deliciousness):
1) chickpea & mushroom burger
2) sweet potato gnocchi
3) the pomodoro linguine
In addition, we tried the daily soup (a strong Thai-flavoured concoction) and the dark chocolate cheesecake. I was thoroughly impressed with how well each item was made despite great ingredient limitations.
Unfortunately, this review is brought down a star due to some bizarre service. Near the beginning, while our waitress was listing off some of the specials, a green bead-like object suddenly dropped onto my napkin. I thought it was a piece of jewellery that had come off her bracelet, so I picked it up to return it to her. It was at this moment that I regretted my action, as the bead was sticky. Turned out it was her cough medicine, and she nonchalantly said: "Oh that's just my cough drop", picked it up, and proceeded as if nothing had happened. No apology, no new napkin, and three very confused customers. It was an accident, but her whole attitude about it and throughout the evening was a bit off-putting.
Otherwise, PMB seems like a fabulous location in London for vegan options.
