Description
Tucked inside the magnificent surrounds of Somerset House, Café Petiole is a stylish all-day spot that brings a fresh, plant-first approach to one of London’s most iconic cultural destinations. Created by chef Rishim Sachdeva, the talent behind critically acclaimed Mayfair restaurant Tendril, the café takes inspiration from classic European artists’ cafés, pairing elegant interiors with relaxed dining that’s perfect for everything from a morning coffee to a leisurely lunch.
The menu focuses on bold seasonal flavours, championing dishes that are mostly vegan without compromising on creativity or comfort. Expect vibrant salads, inventive small plates, indulgent bakes and desserts, alongside Sachdeva’s renowned Tendril Tiramisu. An all-vegan drinks list featuring kombucha and low-intervention wines adds to the appeal, making this a go-to for health-conscious foodies, culture lovers and anyone seeking something a little different in central London.
With its pastel-hued dining room, restored vintage furnishings and artistic touches throughout, Café Petiole strikes the perfect balance between laid-back café culture and destination dining. Backed by the team behind Tendril and featuring contributions from pastry chef Tarryn Williams, it’s a charming Somerset House hideaway where thoughtful cooking, beautiful design and a creative atmosphere come together effortlessly.
