It might be located in the heart of central London, just around the corner from the British Museum, but Café Deco somehow still has the feel of your local neighbourhood restaurant. Its look is clean and simple, its team are friendly, and its ambience is that of a buzzing little bistro. The cooking is appealingly straightforward and amply flavoured, showing off a strong understanding of combinations from the chefs – who serve many of the dishes themselves. This is the kind of restaurant where you know you're in good hands from the moment you arrive.
