Known forChicken orzoSaladsSandwichesWine
A historic café set in the atmospheric crypt beneath St Martin-in-the-Fields church, just off Trafalgar Square, with 30 years of popularity among locals and tourists. Order from the self-service counter—try the chicken orzo, salads, or sandwiches—then find a seat among the beautiful brick-vaulted ceilings and arches. It gets very busy, especially at peak times, so expect queues and potentially shared tables.
