A tribute to European cafe culture that avoids caricature, Matilda’s menu swings from rich (croque madames, three-cheese mushroom toast) to wholesome (acai, overnight oats). House-made cakes such as a courgette-pistachio loaf are superb; better still is bottomless filter coffee.

Good to know: Neighbouring sister venue Petite handles takeaways and lends picnic rugs.
