Chez Bob

The restaurant is good for the local area but I have been to far classier places. However that is justified by the prices and the service which are very good. I love their attitude and it is obvious they are trying hard.

Very nice food and place. Attentive service, even though the dessert needed reminding. However, when all was said and done, it also turned out to be a bit on the pricey side. At least in my opinion. The starter was tomato soup with garlic foccacia. Extremely good. It set the expectations high for when the main course arrived, which was a bit of disappointment. The meat was a bit touch to chew and industrial french fries did nothing for the eye. Came back on higher score when the sticky toffee with vanilla ice cream arrived for dessert. All in all, I recommend this place.

This morning I was wandering around Hampstead and finally ended up having a late breakfast at Chez Bob. Unfortunately, there was no table free inside, but as it was kind of warm, I went to a table outside.

I had scrambled eggs on toast with bacon and a sausage. The food was very deliciuos, the bread was tasty and I really liked that the bacon was not the kind of thick sliced stuff you get in London quite often, but some nicely thin and crispy pieces.
The home made lemonade I ordered as drink was also really good.

Overall, this is a very good place for a breakfast. And I guess, it’s good for steaks or burgers as well.

This is local to me but I only go here when I can get the meal deal which is steak and chips with a glass of wine for £9, before 7pm Mon-Thurs. The steak was good and large, with tasty french fries.
Nothing really wrong with it but there always seems much more interesting places to go.

My wife and I attended Chez Bob for brunch on 16th July 2011.
The decor was very nice and the lighting and general atmosphere of the venue was appealing.

The menu was also looking good, and had a number of vegetarian choices, which is why we chose to eat there.

We ordered our meals and drinks, latte and tea, of which the drinks came out quickly and were hot and tasted nice.

Unfortunately it was downhill from here. Both brunches contained baked beans. The meals were warm but the baked beans were cold.

We informed the waitress and they were taken back (apart from the accompanying toast which remained on the table). Five minutes later one meal came back. The beans were still not warm, but I really didn’t want to return them again. A further five minutes later and no sign of the other brunch we sent back. We mentioned it to the waitress and after the “oh shoot I forgot” look on her face, quickly scurried off and returned them, still not hot.

We ate the (luke warm) meals which were nicely presented, but the experience was spoiled by this point.

We did not eat the toast whilst we were waiting for the meals to be returned as it was supposed to be part of the meal. An offer of fresh toast of perhaps a complimentary drink could have rectified the situation but it was not to be.

The bill had a 12.5% service charge automatically added(!) Needless to say we did not pay this “service charge” and quickly left. overall it was a shame as our initial impressions were very good, but the visit was spoiled by poor service and cold food.

Ate brunch here outside in the sun almost every morning during a trip to London! Great coffee, service & ambiance.

Really good!

Wonderful new locally owned restaurant on Haverstock Hill!

A truly delightful addition to the neighbourhood, and a terrific alternative to some of the other nearby dining establishment chains where you're more likely to be served a raspberry by a 5 year old than your meal by the server...

Not that Chez Bob isn't child friendly, because it certainly is, but nor is it overrun with kids.

And the food is simply, humble, and VERY good... lots of vegetarian options too!
