Vardo Restaurant

Lovely cafe! Very big & spacious, which helped because we were struggling to find a place to settle Sunday brunch, everywhere was full. Vardo was huge, with both indoor and outdoor seating and the ambience felt great for both. The food & coffee were delicious too and not too pricey!! My only gripe is they were a little small for the price point, in my opinion. But the taste is great! We ordered the hash, baked eggs and lemon curd pancakes. All were good and hearty, my favourite was the hash — so tasty and well fried. The lemon curd pancakes felt so refreshing as well. The iced oat latte was good too! Would return to this place

Dear NETTA I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude and admiration for your exceptional management of Vardo Restaurant. My recent dining experience at your establishment left a lasting impression, and I believe it's a reflection of your outstanding leadership. From the moment I stepped into Vardo, I was greeted with a sense of warmth and hospitality that set the tone for the evening.

Your knowledge of the menu and willingness to engage with diners truly elevated the experience. Your recommendations were spot-on and added to the overall enjoyment of the meal. Your leadership has undoubtedly contributed to Vardo's status as a culinary gem. It's rare to find a manager who is not only efficient but also passionate about delivering an extraordinary dining experience. Thank you for your dedication to excellence, and I look forward to returning to Vardo Restaurant under your capable management.

The host who greeted us was great - super friendly, very happy to let us choose our table and set the evening off to a lovely start. All of your waiting staff were attentive and friendly, and the dishes we chose were excellent and very delicious. Thank you all for a lovely evening in a beautiful setting!

Vardo has been a saving grace in what can be a pretty uneventful Chelsea/Sloane square area. We’ve been going there for over a year now, but in the months coming up to this summer in particular, it’s definitely been the go to place, like there hasn’t been in years in this area. There’s a swing and great vibe, it's funky, multi-cultured, attracting interesting characters from all over. Even friends from East and North London are happy to meet up there. The staff is a great cross section from all walks, they are welcoming and make a real effort to make your visit memorable as well as want to come back (every week). Friendly, charming, efficient and attentive. It breathes life and is very special. Let’s hope it keeps that way. Great space, great coffee and menu.

Vardo is in a great spot in Duke of York Square. During a sunny lunchtime like yesterday i couldn't think of a better place to be. We both had a lovely tasty lunch of the crispy chilli sea bass with broccoli and flatbread with spicy masala sauce and chickpeas. The portion sizes was perfect all washed down with a rioja and sauvignon blanc. It was enjoyed in the lovely sun providing a great atmosphere is the trade started to increase at about 12.30pm onwards. Staff were friendly and the service was prompt and responsive. We believe that Vardo provided value for money considering it is in the heart of Sloane Square, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience and recommend it as a great place for food and drinks.

I've had many an dinning experience in my life time. Some not so good, others mostly require an injection of great chrisma and energy but not today at VARDO the service I received today from Tahire was god like. Dam exceptional I say. Thank you Tahire, what great chat. Smiles all round. Untill next time. I would highly recommend this experience to everyone.

A charming restaurant that neighbors the Saatchi Gallery with plentiful outdoor seating and a trendy interior. Duke of York Square is a perfect place for people watching: young couples drifting in their own world, mothers cooing at their babies, and blue business suits stopping for lunch. Union Jacks hang from streamers. We stopped in for lunch our first day and dinner our last day. The menu consists of elevated European fare and small plates. The cod dumplings are filling and fresh. The crunchy tofu was the perfect balance of salty and umami. Their pizzas are flavorful and fresh, I especially liked their caramelized onion pizza with heirloom tomatoes. Their selection of libations is excellent and they serve a delightful cup of earl grey tea. The servers are very pleasant and attentive, though the rate in which food comes out can be a little slow (at least it was for dinner, not so much for lunch). We enjoyed it so much we ate there twice and I’ve saved the location on my phone for next time. It’s a lovely restaurant and a must try if you’re staying in Kensington and Chelsea.
