Bergamot Cafe
Persian-influenced cooking on British seasonal produce, which is how the family describes it and is narrower than calling it a Persian cafe.1
Why go
A family-run room in Arch 87 on the Wood Lane arches, doing salads, soups, sandwiches and a hot dish of the day off seasonal British ingredients.1 The hot dish is where the Persian influence actually shows. Evenings run an events programme.
Order this / avoid
- Order: the hot dish of the day, and a soup, which is the part of the menu the kitchen pushes hardest.
- Avoid: arriving expecting a full Persian menu. The kitchen does not claim one.
Good to know
- Where: Arch 87, Wood Lane Arches, Wood Lane W12 7RQ, by White City.
- Hours: not published on the page read this pass.
- Booking: none needed for the cafe; the evening events are a separate programme.
Verdict
listed — A family-run cafe in a Wood Lane arch cooking Persian-influenced food on British seasonal produce, which is the kitchen's own framing and a narrower claim than a Persian cafe. Salads, soups, sandwiches and a hot dish of the day, with an evening programme on top. It sits on the bottom rung because the family's own page is the only thing published about it: no cook is named, no dish is named, and nobody outside the business has written a line.
