Creative riffs on classic American fare, plus beer, wine & cocktails in hip, understated digs.
"Jim’s Café is a casual American diner-style day and night restaurant in the middle of Chatsworth Road. So whether you’ve been in the sewage water of Hackney Marshes, pretending there isn’t a packet of McCoys and an Ofo bike floating past you, or just lazing about in Millfields Park, it’s an easy 15 minute walk from either. The double cheeseburger is particularly good here, but there are vegan, vegetarian, and kid’s options as well." - Jake Oliver
"A biker cafe in Clapton sounds a bit dangerous, doesn’t it? Like that scene in True Detective. You know, the one where Matthew McConaughey goes into a meth stash house undercover with lots of angry, hairy men. Well Jim’s Cafe is nothing like that. Swap the meth for moreish brunch and burgers, and the anger for an extremely comfortable and diner-ish environment, and then you’re more on the mark. Jim’s is one of Chatsworth Road’s most reliable hangouts. The coffee and breakfast is good, and the burger is, whisper it, definitely one of London’s best." - Jake Missing
