A glamorous, mid-century American-inspired grand café by Jeremy King that trades on its impeccable aesthetic and show-stopping desserts, even if the savory dishes occasionally miss the mark.
Ordering Strategy
Come for the immaculate atmosphere and focus heavily on the stellar, nostalgic dessert menu. Start with the monkey bread, order brasserie classics with caution, and save plenty of room for an ice cream sandwich or a custom sundae.
What to order
The Park Monkey Bread
This tearaway, buttery bread is praised by critics as the 'perfect start' to any meal at the restaurant.
Ham Hock Pie
A 'carby marvel' densely packed with ham, peas, fava beans, and fingerling potatoes, though it is so substantial you may be surprised the vegetables are inside the crust rather than on the side.
Dita di parmigiano
Described as an absolute 'must-order,' these are essentially sticks of deep-fried, cheese-filled goodness.
Red Velvet Cake
A 'massive slice of rich, deeply red sponge' that is so good you will likely not want to share it.
Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich
One of the restaurant's two dessert 'showstoppers,' providing an excellent and bespoke sweet finish.

Good to know
The restaurant's gorgeous lighting and aesthetic have made it a major hit with TikTok influencers—to the point where Jeremy King has joked about banning tripods. Expect an extensive, slightly pricey Californian and Italian wine list.
