About La Cafeteria bistro
La Cafeteria on Forest Road has grown from a small Italian café into a neighbourhood favourite, now extending back to a terrace that locals prefer when the weather's good. The menu roams between Italian staples and Mediterranean specials — the lasagna draws repeat praise, and the chicken tagine comes loaded with vegetables. Families appreciate the buggy-friendly layout, highchairs, and a kids menu that keeps things simple, while the generous portions mean there's usually enough to share. Reviewers note the restaurant is very accommodating to prebooked family groups and child friendly. Daily specials bring variety, smoked haddock with mash, chicken salad made with fillets and boiled eggs, pork and mash, and the tiramisu or banana pancakes with ice cream make a strong finish. Staff get mentioned constantly in reviews for their warmth, and the prices won't break the bank: a light dinner for two comes in under £40.
