We dined at The Lovely Food Company again last night and had a fantastic time. The food was superb, well presented and excellent value, the staff were professional, engaging and added greatly to the ambience. We are regular customers of The Lovely Food Company since it opened. It is an atmospheric, busy neighbourhood cafe serving good food at great value.... More

I've been here a few times and its always delicious. Have never been in the evening so far but have sampled a few of their breakfasts and all delicious. The also do great sandwiches using sour dough baguettes, they are really good, great combinations. Looking forward to returning soon and trying the evening offering as well.
