large open studio space on Bermondsey Street near [[London Bridge Station]], serving breakfast and lunch. The food style is Modern European.
The space certainly is large, unexpectedly so on such a narrow street. Tables stretch all around the vast high-ceilinged room, presumably a former warehouse, considerately decorated though somewhat echoey. Service is prompt and efficient, and there were no egregious waits for either food or for attention.

[[Ewan]]'s spiced pear tarte tatin starter (&pound;7) was expertly presented, with a half pear in a pastry shell alongside a stack of stichelton cheese intertwined with lettuce leaves and a drizzle of balsamic. As a whole it was very tasty, with the flavours working well together.

On [[Ewan]]'s November 2008 visit, a spiced pear tarte tatin starter (&pound;7) was expertly presented, with a half pear in a pastry shell alongside a stack of stichelton cheese intertwined with lettuce leaves and a drizzle of balsamic. As a whole it was very tasty, with the flavours working well together.
Mains were unpretentious but certainly well-made and tasty. My ginger and coriander puy lentils (&pound;13) was a fairly substantial portion and only enhanced by the perfectly-cooked 'croutons' of halloumi, all very lovely. Meat mains are a few pounds more in price, and my friend's pork belly was adjudged excellent.

The dessert menu presents all options at just under &pound;6, or &pound;8.50 including a small glass of matching dessert wine. [[Ewan]] had a filling chocolate tarte accompanied by black muscat, while Melissa's stichelton cheese was served with oatcakes and a Dow's ruby port.

Bottles of wine range from &pound;17 upwards, with a special offer on a cabernet merlot priced at &pound;22. It was listed as &pound;25 on the final bill, but the waiter quickly corrected this when it was pointed out.

A large open studio space on Bermondsey Street near London Bridge Station, serving modern European food at lunchtimes. At other times it functions as a cafe.

NB despite the opening hours listed here (taken from the Delfina website), Limster on Chowhound reports that as of February 2010 they also do Sunday lunches.

The space certainly is large, unexpectedly so on such a narrow street. Tables stretch all around the vast high-ceilinged room, presumably a former warehouse, considerately decorated though somewhat echoey. Service is prompt and efficient, and there were no egregious waits for either food or for attention.

The menu changes on a regular basis (every two weeks according to the website), and presents a number of options for starters, mains and desserts, including a vegetarian option for the main.

Ewan's spiced pear tarte tatin starter (£7) was expertly presented, with a half pear in a pastry shell alongside a stack of stichelton cheese intertwined with lettuce leaves and a drizzle of balsamic. As a whole it was very tasty, with the flavours working well together.

Mains were unpretentious but certainly well-made and tasty. My ginger and coriander puy lentils (£13) was a fairly substantial portion and only enhanced by the perfectly-cooked 'croutons' of halloumi, all very lovely. Meat mains are a few pounds more in price, and my friend's pork belly was adjudged excellent.

The dessert menu presents all options at just under £6, or £8.50 including a small glass of matching dessert wine. Ewan had a filling chocolate tarte accompanied by black muscat, while Melissa's stichelton cheese was served with oatcakes and a Dow's ruby port.

Bottles of wine range from £17 upwards, with a special offer on a cabernet merlot priced at £22. It was listed as £25 on the final bill, but the waiter quickly corrected this when it was pointed out.

Ewan's verdict: A worthwhile and tasty meal, though three courses with a bottle of wine will set you back around £50 each. Still, not shabby at all, and a nice open bright space.
