You don’t have to be on a plant-hunting expedition to enjoy the delicious delights of the W6 Garden Centre Cafe
Tucked away in a peaceful setting among a superb selection of indoor and outdoor plants, The W6 Garden Centre Cafe on the edge of Ravenscourt Park (just off King Street) is very special. Serving homemade restaurant-quality vegetarian and vegan dishes, it is a secret gem.
The Manager Leo Tsattalios, chef Anton Petrov and their team have created a haven from the hustle and bustle of London. ‘Our vision was to create a cafe that complemented the garden centre and reflected its service,’ explains Leo. ‘It made sense to offer the best plant-based food in such a life-enhancing plant-based space. Converting the menu to meat-free was challenging, and it’s why we insist on the highest standards. We want to say, “this is excellent food, don’t put any labels on it.”’
Leo and Anton constantly refine the menu according to the seasonality of the ingredients. Asking Chiswick resident Leo for recommendations is invidious – he’s passionate about every dish! – but on the breakfast menu his personal favourites are the homemade granola with oat milk and fruit compote and organic porridge with berry compote.
‘For brunch I’d recommend Tamari mushrooms and cashew cream on sourdough bread,’ he adds. ‘And I’d love meat-lovers to try our veggie burger. It took us three months to perfect the recipe: it’s a chorizo-style patty with homesmokedtomato ketchup, onion relish, celeriac and apple coleslaw and paprika crisps.’
With a children’s menu, tempting gluten-free cakes, speciality coffee, superfood lattes, a range of freshly pressed juices – not to mention treats for canine clients – and plenty of indoor and outdoor space, W6 is the perfect place to meet friends and enjoy some quiet in a green environment. ‘We’re so lucky to work here,’ says Leo. ‘We care about what we do and we try to cater for everyone.’
