Café Deco leans into Bloomsbury's decidedly vintage vibe and endearingly dusty brand of glamour. Living up to its name thanks to a 1930s-worthy sage-green awning, curved salmon-pink bar and pastel tiling underfoot, this cosy, casual – and notably small – spot opened amid lockdowns in 2020, and managed to weather the storm of Covid to quietly become one of central London’s go-to dining rooms. The result is something akin to an elevated version of a National Trust café, populated with off-duty architects and sentient Margaret Howell linen trousers. Chef-owner Anna Tobias cultivated her love of perfect veg and pristine produce at Shoreditch favourite Rochelle Canteen and cooks evated, ingredient-led cult classics. Think egg mayonnaise, nice things on toast and hearty but stylish soups.
