The service at Cafe Brera in Canary Wharf is the most surly, uncooperative, dismissive and abrasive I think I have ever received in a london restaurant! The food & wine may be good, but this is ruined by the shockingly poor service.

Cafe Brera can get very busy at lunch times (as we found out yesterday), but a little wait in the queue is definitely worth it. It's a trully authentic Italian coffee house - you don't really get coffee like this in the UK so if you are partial to a little of the bean I can recommend Cafe Brera.


The food is good too, I had a pannini and it was better than average; my companion had what she described as 'sensational' soup with very good bread. So, if you're peckish, Cafe Brera's pretty good for the belly too. All in all, a very positive experience.

Cafe Brera is a good cafe in a really nice little spot. The staff are lovely and I go into Cafe Brera quite a lot.
