Coco Momo is a contemporary bar on genteel Marylebone High Street that's popular with the work crowds and the odd celebrity.

The Venue
Sleek lines and lots of wood creates a comfortable yet stylish atmosphere. Many of the tables have their own little lamp, a nice original touch, and although the bar is quite small the excellent layout and large windows make it feel light and spacious.

The Atmosphere
Calm throughout the day and lively in the evening particularly if you visit on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday night. Coco Momo is a popular bar and gets very busy - it pulls in a regular lunchtime crowd as well as the after work drinkers. It's also not a bad bar for celebrity spotting - David Walliams and Matt Lucas have been known to pop in for a bite to eat.

The Food
Whilst the tortillas served here in the evening are somewhat bland and nondescript, the lunch menu is certainly worth making the trip to Coco Momo. Prompt service and a wide selection of soups, salads, sandwiches and mains ensure that it is consistently popular with local workers.

The smoked haddock fishcakes are light and tasty and are served with a fresh green salad. You can also choose for the green salad option on the menu to be served with chargrilled chicken breast. Of the several dessert choices on the menu, the mango with lime syrup which comes garnished with fresh mint leaves and strawberries is highly recommended.

The Drink
Cocktails at Coco Momo are beautifully styled but aren't as potently strong as the cocktails served in many Central London bars. The Pomegranate Mule certainly doesn't kick ass whilst the Hot Vodka comprising strawberries, cranberry juice, basil and pepper vodka isn't as lethal as it sounds. Luckily, there is an extensive wine list and a wide choice of draught beers and bottled lagers.

The Last Word
Coco Momo is a great lunchtime venue. The menu is strong and the atmosphere is relaxing. Drinking at this bar in the evening is also recommended but if you pride yourself on being a cocktail connoisseur you're better off sticking to the wine list in this establishment.
