La Giaconda - now closed

27/1/2014

We’re told that from the 1920s, Denmark Street was known throughout the world as “Tin Pan Alley, the home of Britain’s publishers and songwriters and La Giaconda restaurant was known as their meeting place. This is why this historic café is in the process of applying for a Blue Plague, to ensure this period of La Giaconda will be forever engraved in history.

The new and refurbished café and restaurant is the work of husband and wife team Paul Merrony and Tracey Petersen who, for the last 6 years have also been intimately involved in London’s coffee bars, Flat White and Milk Bar.

The front room is an all day, no bookings café where you can enjoy a good cooked breakfast from 8am, or Paul’s plat du jour with a glass of wine, a cocktail and a plate of charcuterie in the evening.

For dinner the elegant dining space behind the café offers a completely different experience, and in our opinion is the hidden gem on Denmark Street.  Beautiful high ceilings, a living wall and natural light fill the room in which you can only relax and enjoy rustic home cooking and some carefully selected wines. The food is a delicious blend of simple French cuisine that indulges you in a day trip to Italy & Spain all without leaving Demark Street. 

Menu items include; Veal Carpaccio with chicory & tuna sauce, baked mushrooms with roast garlic & herms and Venison with red cabbage & beetroot with macaroni gratin, to name a few.
