Hi
I used to really loved 5th View untill a month ago.
It look like the management change and it is a big mess .
35 min to get a drink and 50 min for food.
I don t think i will go back there.
By the way the previous drink list was much better without those boring classic cocktails that you can find everywhere.
I tink it is time to do something,may be change food,cocktails,management.
Shame because it is a great venue.

I tried it a couple of days ago and I liked the atmosphere. It was late afternoon, so I went for a drink and a snack: pomegranate juice and patatas bravas. The food was simple but full of flavours. The drink was refreshing. The service was excellent. I would definitely recommend it.

Many times I have spent a mad shopping day down Oxford and Regent Street, gagging for a cocktail break and not knowing where to find one. Thank you ViewLondon for introducing me to 5th View - the perfect shopping stopoff. The Cocktails are delish and for a lady on her own about town, there is no stigma in sitting in a book shop!

I love this big book shop and the 5th View Bar & Food is simply fab. I don't come to Piccadilly that often as it is so busy, but 5th View Bar & Food may well tempt me over more often.

5th View Bar & Food is a big improvement on the previous place. I love the idea of a place to eat and drink in a book shop, but the reality is a bit different. The staff will let you browse with books in the cafe, but too many people are absorbed in their books to look after their children that are running amock. I really like 5th View Bar & Food, but feel that more could be done to preserve the grownup atmosphere here.
