About West Reservoir Cafe
West Reservoir Cafe perches on the decked edge of a working reservoir, serving Portuguese home-cooking and cafe staples to families and open-water swimmers. The family-run operation turns out chicken escalopes with homemade piri piri sauce and crushed garlic potatoes for £8.50, plus fresh seabass, fish croquettes, and proper pasteis de nata that regulars rate higher than Chinatown versions. Kids can watch the sailing boats and canoes while parents nurse good coffee on the terrace — "such a good place to relax here after a swim at the west reservoir," one regular notes. Highchairs available, plenty of outdoor seating, and buggy-friendly access from Woodberry Wetlands. The lakeside setting and reasonable pricing (two seabass meals and drinks for £28) keep local families coming back for eight years and counting.
