The Riding House Cafe

The Riding House Cafe Review

Stuffed squirrel lamp holders peer down on trendy diners at this groovy New York-style small-plates-and-deluxe-burgers all-dayer just north of Oxford Circus. Everything's reclaimed, salvaged, or bespoke, so you'll find stuffed birds and taxidermy dotted around, reclaimed blue theater seats at the counter bar, bright orange leather banquettes, or old snooker table legs holding up your dining table. Opt for a £5 small plate of sea bass ceviche with lime and chili, and head straight for the poached-egg chorizo hash browns or a mighty decadent foie gras hamburger, with gherkin and chips—a bargain at £13.90.
