Farm Girl Cafe review: Jay Rayner tears into Australian cafe in London

Review analysis
food   menu   location  

Farm Girl cafe will rue the day The Guardian’s Jay Rayner came for a feed.

The cafe cum restaurant’s website states that the original “Farm Girl” was called “Rose”.

“The meat is overcooked and has the texture of something Timpson’s (a shoe shop) might one day think about using to resole my brogues.”

It’s by no means the first time Rayner has done such an elegant job of eviscerating a restaurant, seemingly taking great joy in dumping its disgorged reputation on the footpath on the way out.

As for his review of the Australian cafe in London, Rayner said he headed straight off to the nearest burger restaurant for some proper food.

Farm Girl offers laidback, healthy Aussie eating with dishes that will leave you all heart-eyed emoji’ed.

Summing it all up: After a well-matched first-floor takeover of Oxford Street’s hip Sweaty Betty gym shop, Farm Girl are on the move again to Chelsea, where they’ll be opening their third cafe and their first ever dinner menu.

It wasn’t that long ago that we reported on Aussie health food spot Farm Girl’s arrival in Sweaty Betty’s behemoth store on Oxford Street.

Now, they’re at it again with the announcement of their first all-day restaurant and bar - so you can expect to see more of those superfood cocktails.

Come the evening, Farm Girl will be turning their hand to dinner service for the first time with more hearty dishes like Cod Croquettes with a Green Herb Sauce or Lamb Gyro with Roasted Pistachio Yoghurt, and an Apple & Pear crumble for pudding.

Well, much like the Soho cafe, we’ve heard that there’ll be strawberry and lavender infused FAIR Vodka to go in their boozy-yet-healthy superfood creations with help from Gianfranco Spada (Experimental Cocktail Club, Chess Club).

Meal for two, including drinks and service £110 The menu at the Farm Girl Café features lots of initials.

If you examine the company’s website, and I would only advise doing so if you have strong teeth that can cope with a good grinding, you will learn that the Farm Girl group offers: “A holistic and healthy yet comfortingly simple approach to Australian Café culture.”

The Farm Girl Café, Chelsea, is the third in a group which until now has stuck to charcoal or matcha lattes, and light lunches involving an awful lot of almond butter, avocado and something called coconut bacon, which you just know isn’t.

The elegant glass box that houses the café at the Garden Museum, just south of Lambeth Bridge, gives equal billing to both meat and veg, but does so with grace and good taste.

Stay for dessert nothing clever about stupid high prices for food items, but it’s always good to have something to gawp at.

Everything at Farm Girl – the nutritious brunch dishes, the casual, Aussie-inspired backdrop, the customer base of phone-happy tourists and wannabe Instagram models – is fresh, wholesome and oh so pretty.

It was both satisfying and wholesome.

Surprisingly, the standout item was a Liquid Gold turmeric latte, which came with added astragalus, an immune-system booster.

And yet, the health focus meant that most of the dishes weren’t exactly moreish, plus all the added extras (£2 for a poached egg, £2.50 for mushrooms and £3 for about eight clusters of granola) crank the bill up fast and furiously.

But as the Hemsley sister lookalike next to me photographed her £4.10 Smurf-blue, organic almond milk latte, I suddenly remembered: we’re not really here for the food, are we?
