Do you remember I wrote about La Bodega Negra months ago, “the sex shop” restaurant? I came across a review on the blog of the talented foodie Rosie and thought it would be a great idea to surprise James with seeing as he was normally the one that took me places in London. We both loved it, and I now hear the place is really trendy and it can be hard to get a table, same goes for Ceviche which is a pity as we really love that place too. Anyway, yesterday we decided to check out La Bodega Negra the café as we were strolling around in Soho feeling peckish :)
We ordered tortilla and guacamole, seabass ceviche, tuna tostada, Guadalajara spicy chicken salad and beef wraps. My favourite was the tuna tostada which is the dish on to the left in the pictures above. I would say La Bodega Negra the cafe gives you a taste of what the restaurant serves but at a much more affordable price, I highly recommend it if you’re looking for lunch in Soho! Unlike La Bodega Negra restaurant you don’t need a reservation which is great if you’re just looking for a quick lunch (or drinks – they have an extensive drinks menu!)
Where?: 16 Moor Street, London, London W1D 5NH

Great review, this sounds seriously up my street and I too have heard so much about the main restaurant so I may just have to give the cafe a visit on my next trip to London.

That tostada looks really yummy!!
And the cafe is now on my list of places to visit in the future. That looks delicious, and your pictures showcase the food very well. I love the one that has your nail in the picture because the red polish pulls out the red garnish on the tostada!
Celina.. If you like La Bodega Negra, you MUST try polpo – its the restaurant that really made small plates popular here in London. There are a couple but their original site on Beak Street (Soho) is the cosiest! Even better still is their other restaurant/bar, called Spuntino -its just around the corner from La Bodega Negra in Soho and is sandwiched between two sex shops – you an hardly see in and it looks quite seedy (in fitting with Soho!) but inside its an amazing buzzy little place with a bar where you can see your food being prepared…
Also check out any of the Fergus Henderson restaurants (St Johns), his food speaks for itself.
…..Just a few tips for other casual dining restaurants! Its nice to eat in fine dining too of course but when you fancy somethign different these spots usually have a more lively atmosphere, laid back service and its all about amazing food flavours!!

Ooh, thank you! I will try those places, sounds wonderful! :)
Hey you really like ceviche, is your boyfriend peruvian?
Haha, I also like Indian, Mexican and Thai – yet he’s still only British.
Haha! Such a funny answer Celina :) x
