Such a gem in a beautiful old building with lovely decor and history, weird there were not so many people. Food was okay, small menu, but nice choices! Bread was outstanding. Music was good. Service could be better, didn’t felt too much seen by the waiter.

Fantastic french restaurant. We had snails as starter and they were very good. I had an entrecôte as main and it was absolutely delicious. Best I had in years! The fried as side were awesome too. My girlfriend got a pot-au-feu, she was very happy with it. I tried a bit and it As extremely good. We were full and could not try a dessert. We do plan to come back to try. Absolutely recommend, this is a hidden gem. Edit: came back another time to try the desert. It was HUGE! Don't try it alone.

I walk in thinking that it’s another pub in the area. I was surprised with the atmosphere, feeling that you walk into a French restaurant in the mid of the previous century. Beautiful place. Food really good and normal prices for London. Very polite,friendly and efficient staff. Didn’t have to wait but the normal time for my drink and food to be served. Definitely I ll be back

Very charming and picturesque French bistro hidden away along a quiet street in Wapping. Really loved the atmosphere here - it's a little quieter but very cosy and intimate. Perfect for couples. They also have a courtyard outside for a more casual drinking option. The food was delicious, lots of flavour. Only downside was that the menu was quite limited.

Good food and great outside sitting. Close to a park and very quiet and relaxing. I appreciated the soft ambient music. Pet friendly and charming. The service was ok, but not perfect. They left our table without lights and other decorations once it became dark. We arrived without reservation and we were not able to get everything from the menu. I recommend doing a reservation before going.

Best steak ive had in years. Tuna starter the best bit of fish ive had in years. Really been wow, d by this place. So unassuming from the outside back to mid century france inside.. Great staff great food prices reasonable. Highly recommend.

Charming cafe/restaurant with friendly staff and a nice vibe. We visited today for some coffee and cake. The pastries tasted a bit stale but the lemon drizzle cake wasn’t half bad. Overall a great spot to visit - it really was quite lovely to sit outdoors in the terrace area and enjoy the sounds of the park. My only suggestion would be that staff need to be more aware of customers waiting to be served in the outdoor seating area. We waited for quite a while and in the end had to go ask someone to come and take our order. Otherwise no other issues.

One of my favourite spots in Wapping that offers, hands down, the best wine list in the local area (other contenders being Traders in St. Kaths + Bottles in Spitalfields). The recent addition of their bakery and coffee shop adds nicely to the offering in the local area. My only gripe would be that opening times sometimes deviate from those advertised. However, a summer's evening drinking wine in the gorgeous garden is always well spent.

Beautiful spot and I've mostly had positive experiences here, but the last time I went they'd forgotten about a 10 person booking I made. Was very annoying to have to find somewhere else for dinner for that big of a group!

So excited this cafe reopened in wapping. It's been closed since I moved into the area. I enjoy and am a regular at their sister cafe Cinnamon. Turks Head is a bigger version of Cinnamon which is great as there is plenty of space to sit. I quiet enjoy arm chairs by the candle full fire place. With a open kitchen, it's a great atmosphere. Great coffee and selection of cakes. (Not as great as cinnamon) Its a good selection of gluten free options, such as there popular brownies, and loaves. During the day they have brunch with a number of omelette choices and eggs. There is soup of the day or baguettes for lunch. In the evening drinks and a tapas menu, which I haven't tried yet. My negatives are you can tell the staff are still new and they don't have as great a cake selection as cinnamon. Looking forward to my next dirty chai and trying the tapas

It's a shame that this place is no longer a pub. Captain Kidd had his last beer here before being hanged. That said, they serve a respectable breakfast for £5 and the people that run it are rather pleasant.

Good sized and well priced portions of standard cafe food, I recommend their fry-ups and bacon sandwiches, although they do a good range of boring healthy food that the yummy mummy crowd seem to go in for. Chirpy staff, surprisingly good coffee, and a leafy outdoor seating area in the park. Sunday papers, sofas and a chilled out atmos in this converted pub. Slightly off the beaten track but very close to Wapping high street/Thames - no drawbacks at all.

Nice atmosphere and great outside areas for summer. I can definitely recommend the Turks head for grabbing a cup of coffee and as a work space. Unfortunately, the food is not great. The vegetarian breakfast I had was mediocre. My avocado was mouldy. When I asked for a new one, I received another mouldy avocado. The smoothies don't taste fresh either.

Excellent breakfast -- fried slice, eggs, beans, and bacon. Couldn't ask for more! Great neighborhood, very friendly service. Recommend making the trek even if staying in Central London, as it's a lovely walk. Can't wait to go back in September!

Great atmospheric coffee shop, easy access open kitchen area with very warm and friendly staff.

Have tried this place twice. On both occasions disappointed. The first time I ordered the Veggi Breakfast and received an avocado that was mostly brown and had been turned over to disguise. Today I went again and was given spinach that obviously hadn't been washed. Gritty beyond gritty! Ruined my breakfast and put me off eating the rest of the meal. Such a shame that more care is not being taken. I won't visit again.

I had the burger and it was amazing. The cheese was the best part. The chips are standard chips. I had a milkshake, and it was good, but very frothy and not thick at all. The outdoor seating is lovely, and the staff was very friendly.
