Megan’s at the Flower Market - Chiswick

I was really excited to see a Megan’s here after having a great experience at another location. Unfortunately, this visit didn’t meet expectations. As a big fan of smashed avocado on toast, I was disappointed it wasn’t fully smashed, lacked flavor, and some of the pomegranate seeds seemed past their best. I also ordered an Earl Grey tea, but it had no aroma or taste just hot, colored water. I asked the staff if it might have been the wrong tea, and the gentleman kindly confirmed it was Earl Grey (additionally I believe that a place like this should be serving loose leaf tea, not tea bags). He then brought me a new one, which I appreciated but unfortunately, it still tasted the same. The only highlight was the staff member’s effort and kindness, which was genuinely commendable.

A lovely hidden gem with a holiday vibe! We stopped by for brunch/lunch and were genuinely impressed. The food was delicious and super fresh — it felt like we’d been transported to the Mediterranean! I had the meze bowl, which was tasty but on the smaller side (note to the chef: just a tiny bit more, and you'd have a fan for life!). The sea bass was beautifully presented with healthy, vibrant sides — a real treat. I would like to suggest the inclusion of a shrimp burger and alfalfa sprouts on your menu.🫶🙏 The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, with friendly guests and even friendlier staff. A special shout-out to the lady who served us — she introduced herself with such warmth and professionalism you'd think we were in a five-star resort. Alessandro, the manager, was equally impressive — friendly, funny, and great at making you feel at home. The decor is beautiful and relaxing — you honestly feel like you’re on holiday, even though you’re under a block of flats (which you totally forget once you're inside). There is plenty of street parking available, and the outdoor seating is lovely. I didn’t see any dogs, but if they were allowed, I suppose this would be one of the rare places I wouldn’t mind (and I say that as someone firmly in the "food first, dogs later" camp).The decor throughout the restaurant was charming and thoughtfully put together — but I have to say, and this is not something I ever thought I’d mention in a restaurant review — even the toilets were a highlight! They were surprisingly cosy and beautifully decorated, to the point that even a quick trip to the loo felt like part of the experience. It’s clear that every corner of this place has been designed with care and creativity. The only thing to keep in mind is that access to the toilet isn’t the easiest if you’re in a wheelchair due to stairs, but everything else was spot on. One small suggestion: it would be great if the staff dress code was just a touch more polished. Trainers are absolutely understandable, but sportswear like leggings or gym trousers can look a bit too casual in a food service setting. Something simple and tidy would make the already excellent service feel even more professional. See you soon!

We visited here for dinner with some colleagues on a weekday evening and we all, collectively, enjoyed our experience. The menu is quite small but quite a high quality of food with complex flavours and a sophisticated spin on the kebab. Prices were a bit steep but nothing out of step with the area. The device was also good, with loads of staff on shift. The Manager did seem to get quite stressed, bordering on rude, when there was some concussion over who was having what. We had pre-ordered but a couple of leagues couldn't make it. Naturally we were happy to pay as we didn't realise what had happened until the food was at the table. The Manager said at one point 'we're just bringing you the food that you ordered' and I think I heard her say under her breath at one point that we were taking the piss! The restaurant wasn't exactly busy either! She seemed to get very agitated when we couldn't immediately realised what had gone wrong. Bare in mind there was about ten of us. So she out a bit of a dampener on the evening, but she was really the only negative element of the evening. The rest of the team were really pleasant. As you'd imagine, parking is a bit tight. We managed to get a bay across the road but it was a fluke, I wouldn't expect to get a space there every time!
