At last - brunch at The Table Cafe | 83 Southwark Street, London ...

Lunch and dinner has always been incredible (click here for our review), but the thought of coming up to London and doing my work commute on a Saturday was just all wrong.
It has even made it onto Time Out’s best breakfasts and brunches in London, Basically everything they say is true.
We’ve got into the habit of swapping our plates over halfway through, so we shared Buttermilk pancakes with bacon, caramelised banana and maple syrup £8 and The Table Stack – Chorizo and ham hock baked beans on a toasted bagel with two poached eggs and hollandaise £11.
Not only is the food and service wonderful, it feels like coming home whenever I walk through the door.
Now I have to sit across the road from there all week, knowing that just yards from my office they are not only serving up incredible lunches and dinners, but also breakfast too.

The Table Cafe sits toward the far end of Southwark Street, past the Tate Modern, in an area that seems sparsely furnished with decent eateries, but with unquestionable potential.
A recently re-vamped wine list – both deserve calm assessment; both are excellent in range, composition and execution.
The menu is short and to the point, and as with most menus in stylish restaurants these days the intention is to describe dishes in the clear terms of their constituent parts, rather than including any detail or fluff.
We enjoy excellent, light, dry Austrian Riesling with our small plates and then move onto heavier reds with the meat.
The above tart alone would make a visit to The Table Cafe worthwhile; when you consider all the other elements that come into play here, I’d suggest you’d be imprudent not to give it a try.

staff food busyness
Sally Gurteen tucks in and talks supply chains and organic food with chef Shaun Alpine-Crabtree.
Nestling where Southwark meets Bankside, The Table Café is a neighbourhood joint with accolades including an Open Table Diners’ Choice Award and a two-star rating from the Sustainable Restaurant Association (SRA).
Ordering a radicchio salad, lamb shank and a classic burger (all of The Table’s meat comes from an SRA-approved butcher in Peckham), my friend and I settle down to wait with a very well-priced bottle of French red.
As I taste a little of my friend’s lamb shank, which is perfectly fatty and flavoursome, she tells me that The Table is always packed out at brunch.

Restaurant review: The Table Cafe, London SE1 | Life and style ...
food staff
Blossoming in the backwaters since 1987, rarely has any restaurant had such an impact – not only for its alumni and legion of imitators, but on the way real people eat and shop and cook.
Some of us spend far too much time seeking a River Cafe clone that offers the nirvana without the pricetag penance, so I become stupidly over-excited when breathless tweets invoke thrilling comparisons about the new chef at Southwark's Table Cafe.
Like the River Cafe, the Table started life as a kind of refectory for an architectural practice – perhaps it's one of Allies & Morrison's hornrimmed employees who comes in, orders "pan-fried" pecorino primo sale and a glass of vino, props up his iPad and grazes away happily.
More sourdough comes topped with spicy, spreadable nduja (look, I don't go searching for nduja; it just keeps jumping on to my plate) with white Borretane onions: saucer-shaped, sweet and roasted into jamminess.
Gnocchi with gorgonzola and hazelnuts reads like a contender for my desert island dish, but the dumplings are marooned in a lagoon of over-creamed, under-cheesed sauce in a very un-Italian way – odd, because Ghignoni clearly is the real thing.

This slick café not far from the Tate Modern serves excellent breakfasts and brunches.
Weekend brunches see the likes of buttermilk pancakes, sweetcorn fritters and The Table’s signature ‘stack’ featuring home-made baked beans, chorizo, poached eggs, hollandaise and red pepper pesto.
