Guidebook for Greater London
Food Scene
This Hammersmith café was set up by five friends. It should get quite a bit of custom from those heading to and from London Olympia – it's just over the road. Savoury items on the food menu include salads such as Thai beef with white cabbage, red onion, tomatoes and broccoli in a lime, ginger and soy dressing, and sandwiches filled with honey-roast ham, emmental, rocket and a honey-mustard dressing, or crayfish with sliced avocado rocket and lemon mayo. Breakfasts sandwiches and pastries also feature.
Sweets include praline and toffee and pecan cheesecakes alongside tiramisu, a dark chocolate and chantilly slice and a strawberry and Champagne mousse.

There's a traditional, classic look to this restaurant at the St Paul's Hotel in Hammersmith - the kind of look of which fastidious old schoolmasters might approve. That could come in handy, given the hotel is located in a former school, one designed by the architect of the National History Museum, no less.
It was also where Eisenhower, Montgomery and Churchill met to plan the D-Day landings. Had they waited a bit they could have tucked into The Melody's menu of crab lasagne with a crab and ginger bisque, soya and sesame marinated yellow fin tuna, roasted monkfish wrapped in pancetta and braised short rib of beef with horseradish mash and bone marrow gratin.

Flower-filled exterior aside, there’s nothing fancy about this local favourite. From the well-worn furniture to the order-at-the-bar chalkboard menu, it’s all very familiar. In summer, outside is the place to be, a young after-work crowd spilling into the good-sized courtyard. Inside, with its candlelit tables and open fireplace, is more suited to cosy winter catch-ups, the homely vibe only tarnished by the undeniable whiff of bleach. The food has a homespun feel too, with portions on the massive side and a Mediterranean-inspired menu that may not be particularly inventive, but is generally appealing with a good range of seafood, steak and pasta dishes.
