    Let's take it for granted that the food was all delicious (well all right, special mention for the caramel ice cream which tasted wonderfully of burnt sugar) and focus on the friendly welcome, the first-floor terrace setting complete with canopy for shade (sunny spots also available) and a long row of shrubs in pots for a garden feeling; and the knowledgeable, efficient and prompt service from our delightful waitress who was a pleasure to interact with. Chips were on the menu, Jay Rayner fans, though we didn't order any!

    I have been to Toklas several times for dinner and have always had a good time. The food is great and the sourdough bread is the best I have ever had! The restaurant is relaxed and not noisy. Vegetarian options: Although the menu is small, there were attractive vegetarian options

    Absolutely wonderful lunch. The service was lovely and the food was outstanding, one of the best meals I have had in a long time! Relaxed Saturday atmosphere and delicious cocktails -a totally unplanned delight :)

    Tokas is close to my work and I have eaten there at least 10 times. The food is thoughtful and indeed imaginative. Toklas is especially good for fish and vegetarian dishes. The dining room is comfortably informal. It is hard to go wrong from the wine list. In fine weather the terrace is wonderful; and there are not many terraces in central London. Vegetarian options: The braised artichoke I had was creative and full of flavour.

    Delicious food in a laid-back setting. The menu changes weekly and on the two occasions I've been, the choice of courses has been excellent. Would definitely recommend, a great find.
