Blushes Cafe

Better than some cafes in Chelsea we had full English breakfast hear rarther than our hotel firstly it was cheaper and the food was much better. We are from New York USA and enjoyed the place and its atmosphere so much we went back with friends for dinner the Food & Drink was very good at about £23 per person very reasonable. Having been riped of in sloane square the day before. We will recomend all our friends from the USA, Good Luck Blushes great name.

Blushes has been here for ever the food is good value and uncomplicated. The service can be a bit hit and miss as in any busy venue but its always nice to be recognised. I note a decline in Polish staff at last. Please sort out the weak wireless network signal blushes, I keep loosing the connection whenever I have my laptop with me. I often pop in for a coffee at breakfast to pick up my emails and then again in the evening before retuning home very friendly ambience.

Had dinner at this place for the first time in a while the foods is still very good and the service attentive, but what a moody Polish managers stomping around talking at 100 mph so you can hardly understand a word she said. Thank goodness she got the message and sent a waitress over to continue serving us.

Other than that we had a great girly night out highly recommended to those who do not want to be pestered by men trying to chat them up whilst having a night out. The music was well good and mix it up some more Blushes we will be back soon. Its not cheap as chips but its Chelsea.

With a prime location on Kings Road with indoor/outdoor seating, Blushes has a laid back, relaxing atmosphere that makes it ideal for a peaceful meal away from the hustle and bustle of London. It is an ideal place to go for a quick lunch during the afternoon or for a late night dessert and coffee/tea.

Despite these high points of the restaurant, the food is a bit of a different story. While it isn't outright bad, it isn't exactly above par. After my Dad went there and told me how good their burger was, I went to go try it and was unimpressed. As a tourist from America, where burgers are juicy and full of numerous toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles) and condiments, I did not like the fact that the burger was well done and had minimal toppings. Yet, since my Dad likes Blushes, I found myself there again. This time, I had the spaghetti carbonara, which was not bad, but I have had better spaghetti carbonara before. Unforunately, the pancetta was a bit overcooked and the cream sauce could have a little tastier. Overall, Blushes' food is mediocre at best.

With regards to service, the results are mixed. Most of the staff consisted of immigrants who seemed to make a genuine attempt to provide good service considering that they are in the process of learning English. Once in a while, they would make a small mistake or perhaps forget something, but for the most part, the service was pretty good and worthy of a good tip.

Like others have mentioned, the quality of the food does not live up to the price. A lot of restaurants in London, from an American point of view, seem to be quite overpriced; Blushes is not any different. The burger cost roughly 11 to 12 pounds, whereas I could get a tasty one in America for 4 to 5 pounds. If you are looking for a relatively low priced meal, then Blushes is not the place for you.

Blushes has a great position on the King's Road, and with some outside tables, could really be quite a decent place to go.

Sadly, the menu hasn't been changed in years and looks quite tired. It's also very overpriced for what it is (despite the location). Lunch yesterday came to over £30 for two, but that was only a main course each, together with a soft drink.

Once you add in the "optional" 12.5% service charge, that's £35. Quite frankly, that's shocking. The service was also pretty poor - a remarkably surly waitress who was paying little attention to what was going on.

I shan't be going back until it looks like it's had a bit of a shake-up. My companion described it as a prime candidate for a visit from Gordon Ramsay and I'm afraid that's right.
