Metro Garden Restaurant and Bar

A hidden gem in Clapham that simply cannot be missed. A short walking distance from Clapham Common Station, is this quaint and well decorated venue with the most welcoming and attentive staff that engage and host an incredible meal. The menu is small however incredibly diverse with many options for both vegetarian and meat lovers to choose from. We had the Scallops and Crabcakes to start that were tasty and a good portion (forgot to take a picture, that's how good and quickly we ate them). We finished off with the carvery which I did take a picture of, as this was presented beautifully with all the trimmings. They also continuously served us varieties of freshly baked bread (corn, olive, mustard seed and wholegrains) with butter and this was also an incredible touch and again well portioned. The Coffee was really good also so I've no doubt even to stop in and have a quick drink would be a real treat, but the main experience would be to have a nice sit down meal as we did. We didn't manage to book but if we did, we'd sit outside as the pictures online looked incredible and we arrived a moment after they opened and it had already been fully booked this speaks volumes to me so we will be back!

Absolutely delicious and the staff were incredible friendly, attentive and the place is beautiful. Billy Keane was fab as usual. Thanks for having us!

The staff were lovely but the menu could be better. For a start the starter we ordered was meant tk be burrata with heirloom tomatoes. It was the most basic mozzerella you can find and about 3 slithers of a salad tomato..... the prawn pasta was also the tiniest prawns you can possibly find. It was fine tasting but the menu was incorrect

Lovely restraunt in Clapham. Food was delicious, staff really friendly and welcoming . it has a quirky decor inside but if you venture in to the courtyard at the back its like a tranquil Mediterranean hideaway. shaded by wisteria trees as you eat your meal is delightful and a welcome break from the busy streets.

Amazing evening for my birthday with friends and family! The garden was magical and the food and service was wonderful. Thanks Fran and your team for making the evening so special.. See you all very soon.
