Spacious all-day cafe with roof terrace, global menu, cocktails
"Vardo is a striking and spacious spot in Chelsea with huge windows facing directly onto the King’s Road. It’s as perfect for a family brunch with your flamboyant aunt, as it is for a reunion with 12 of your least hated uni friends. The menu has something for everyone, from garam masala labneh and brioche with lemon curd, to jalapeño cornbread with beef brisket and a fried egg. And when the weather’s nice, the outdoor setup is the place to be." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
"Grand Designs-y style space? Check. Sun-trap roof terrace? Check. Jalapeño cornbread, baked eggs, and a serious drinks list? Check, check, and check. Vardo has got it all. This striking and spacious spot in Chelsea is from the same people as Caravan - so you know that they know their brunch - and the combination of an all-day menu and a roof terrace looking out over Sloane Square and beyond is pretty irresistible." - jake missing
"Vardo is a striking and spacious spot in Chelsea with huge windows facing directly onto the King’s Road. It also has a good-sized roof terrace and it’s as perfect for a coffee date as it is for a solo drink and some people watching. There’s an all-day menu and because it’s taking part in the Eat Out To Help Out scheme, you’ll get up to £10 per person off your bill." - oliver feldman, rianne shlebak
"You want your date to believe that you make your bed every day and you almost, maybe, definitely have some kind of credit score. Go to Vardo. This all-day restaurant in Chelsea looks like a spaceship owned by an intergalactic movie star. Sit in the outdoor covered area, order a couple of freshly roasted macchiatos, and say something sophisticated like “This architecture has a real Zaha Hadid feel, don’t you think?”. Plus, if the date goes well you can transition into espresso martinis and dinner." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak
