Metro Garden Restaurant and Bar

What a great find! I just love this beautiful garden restaurant in the middle of Clapham! We had a fabulous time dining at the Metro and loved the ambiance in the secret garden. It has an almost magical atmosphere dining under the fairy lights in all the greenery. There are big comfy couches in the garden which make it a great place to relax with friends for a fun night out. I thoroughly enjoyed my appetizer and the main was even better! What a refreshing place to be! I can't recommend the Metro more highly. But don't take my word come see for yourself. It's one of Clapham's hidden gems.

What a treat! Friendly staff, great atmosphere, and exceptional food are in abundance at Metro. Walking through the front doors, we were greeted and led to our table, which was situated in what could have been from a page in a romantic novel. The plants, twinkly lights and garden view are incredible dining surroundings. And the staff were right on when recommending the right wine to go with dinner. We will definitely go back to experience this again, and try more of the great food and desserts!

The problem with this place is that nobody seems to be in charge of it.

We had badly prepared and barely edible squid. This was followed by two meals, one was good, the other was swimmng in cream and oil and made me feel a bit sick.

Puddings were OK but not great.

Service was friendly but staff really didn't have time or were not wonderfully attentive.

Customers were told there weren't tables when very clearly were tables. Customers were not efficiently handled by the person greeting them. As we left, we saw a group which had waited for a table (for drinks and snacks only). They had left the Metro and were in another restaurant.

The gents toilets had an overflowing urinal. (The only urinal)

Its been a long time since we were last there, but this place has gone down hill and isn't any longer the sort of place you would go to have a ‘nice’ meal.

A real shame.

We've just moved to Clapham from north London and our friends took us to Metro on Saturday night. You could never tell from the outside how pretty it is at the back, all the twinkly lights. The food was really really good and the wine the waiter recommended was so good we drank three bottles! A real south London gem, we'll be back.
