"Opposite Italo is Bonnington Cafe, a much-loved veggie and vegan cooperative set up to serve locals during the 1980s, when most of Bonnington Square was occupied by squatters. Cooks change daily as per a list on the website, bringing the flavours of their home countries to the kitchen — patrons naturally have their favourites. The daily changing menu always follows the same format: a starter, a choice of two main courses, and three desserts. It’s hearty, satisfying stuff for very little money and a side helping of warm fuzzy feelings." - Helen Graves

Went here to have dinner and it was a very cute little café. The prices were affordable and it was nice to have a vegan and veggie option as well. Staff was so lovely and kind the service was really fast and quick and the food still remained hot! The vibe was very chill, not too noisy. You could hear yourself and it was quite intimate! We definitely come here again. I would love to try more wholesome food💓

Have been a few times and particularly enjoyed Vic Conran's delightful menu, tasty Laila did a Mexican menu recently. The popular Utopia make the most delish rose lemonade and Arfa makes the best pakora! Misiek does a fab vegan apple and rhubarb crumble. Lovely welcoming atmosphere with changing exhibitions on show in the Café. On Thursdays the piano is played.

A hidden gem! Bonnington Cafe is clearly loved by locals creating a buzzing and loving atmosphere. We went on a Saturday night when Vic was cooking - you wouldn’t want to miss it! The quality and creativity of the dishes are levels above the impressively affordable price, I cannot recommend her cooking enough! Will be back for more the next time we’re in London - thank you Vic!

A beautiful, cosy hidden gem with amazing vegetarian and vegan food! The cafe is so friendly and it feels like you're going round someone's house for dinner, in the best possible way. Victoria's cooking was incredible from starters through to dessert - especially loved her carrot fritters with zingy salsa, spinach and mushroom roulade, and Eton mess. The community vibe at the cafe makes it such a special place to eat. Will definitely be coming back!!

We have just celebrated our friends birthday here at the Bonnington Cafe, and it was one of the best birthday celebrations we have had as a group of friends. Of course the people we were with made the difference but the lovely staff, lovely food and fantastic ambience were the cherries on the cake. Excellent venue, keep it up <3

We loved our early evening meal here. Our chef was a delight and as she said, served everything with love. A great community atmosphere. Very little choice of food, which I personally prefer, but it was fresh, honest and tasty. Great lemonade. Location an oasis of period tranquility. Will be back.

Wow Vic’s menu was one of the most imaginative and delicious meals iv had. Every other Saturday, very highly recommended and check out my meal which was called ‘Little Wing’, a terrine of spinach, carrot and Gruyère. Served on a puff pastry and so delicious… and to top it off you can byob of your favourite tipple :) so good!

I visited for an art exhibition and a classical musical delight just recently and was greater with smiles and an amazing atmosphere of lovely people hidden away behind Vahaul Tune /Train station. Look it up because it will be your little secret place to take friends and family who will know you are truly on the button for the places to be.
