http://www.london-eating.co.uk/22332.htm Cantaloupe Readers Reviews - London Eating en-gb Copyright: (C) London Eating Booked a table for Sunday night. Was told that the restaurant was closed but would set up a table in the bar for nine of us. Went along and told there was no table and the chef had gone home - no attempt at an apology. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/50.htm I've been going to Cantaloupe for 3 years and always enjoy the laid back atmosphere, especially early on the week, where you can spend the whole evening just chilling out on their comfy sofas eating a good selection of tapas. The staff is always nice and friendly to me and my friends. I usually eat at the bar but would it's worth trying the ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/50.htm Went here on a Saturday night and it had a nice buzzy feel. Food was slightly better than average. The paella was very big but not as flavoursome as would have hoped. Had the 7-9pm sitting and was told to hurry with dessert so that we finished before 9. Still better than expected given the reviews. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/50.htm During the Shoreditch revival Cantaloupe was at its hub, it was bustling and vibrant full of interesting people and local characters, now it has more the feel of an All-Bar-One, with an ‘after-work’ crowd on weekday evenings and a town-centre busyness on the weekend. Having read the other reviews, my comments for the restaurant ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/50.htm The ambience is great : respectably dim lighting, big wooden bench seating and nooks and crannies full of leather settees, with low-key and unobtrusive music burbling away in the background. Mainly a vast bar with a restaurant tucked away in the back. On the Monday we visited it was virtually deserted, and we headed straight for the restaurant ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/50.htm Went to Cantaloupe for our office Christmas party. Food was great (cos it often can't be for a Christmas do!) but the service sucked! Got aatitude from the start, ending with a row with the restaurant manager! It was a real shame. Wouldn't mind except that we paid over £150 in service charges!!! http://www.london-eating.co.uk/50.htm I've been to Cantaloupe a few times and always really enjoyed myself. Food is great, service is good and there's a great bar to drink in before and afterwards. Definitely recommended. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/50.htm Have been to cantaloupe loads of times and have never been dissapointed.<p>The food in the bar is great, loads of Latin Tapas type dishes which are great for snacks, lunch or a light dinner (Particularly recommend the Meatballs). Service has always been helpful and quick. Regularly manage to walk the 10 mins from work, order, eat lunch ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/50.htm I've been going to Cantaloupe for years for the occasional pre-club drink or post-club Sunday brunch and it's always been a place whose little faults can be forgiven for its does-exactly-what-it-says-on-the-tin style. Oh, apart from the breathtakingly annoying DJ who occasionally plays there, cranking up his whiny schoolboy beats to the point ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/50.htm I have been visiting Cantaloupe for a couple of years now and have always had a great time. The atmosphere is fun, funky and friendly. I have always enjoyed the tapas menu but on my last visit this week I was severely disappointed - next time I think I might keep to the bar. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/50.htm
