Passion for food, cooked simply, presented perfectly and served with a smile is what keeps St Clements Cafe and Bar high in the popularity stakes. This is a delightful restaurant located on Middle Temple Lane in London, where diners can walk in and enjoy the delicious meals in a wonderfully soothing atmosphere inside or in the lovely garden during summer.

Start the day with the duck egg with crispy bacon on white sourdough or rye toast while favourites at lunch time could well be the homemade lamb burgers with tzatsiki, vine tomato and red onion in a griddled ciabatta bun. There are plenty of salads too and an exciting range of bar suppers which could include hamhock terrine with sauce Gribiche or sausage rolls with sage and thyme. The final touch would definitely be the pavlova, with English summer berries and vanilla cream.

The wine list at St Clements comprises a selection of interesting global choices with most available by the glass or carafe.
