Ferrari’s Cafe is a longstanding cafe at 8 West Smithfield in Farringdon, serving market workers, local residents and visitors from early in the day. Its broad menu brings the direct appeal of a traditional English cafe together with Chinese and Southeast Asian dishes, offering quick meals in an informal setting beside Smithfield Market.
Breakfast is served throughout the day and combines eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, tomato, beans, black pudding, hash browns and chips in several generous arrangements. Simpler choices include eggs or beans on toast, breakfast sandwiches and baguettes, while omelettes and jacket potatoes allow diners to build a lighter meal.
Burgers come with homemade sauce and can be topped with egg, cheese, bacon or barbecue pork. Pie and chips, spaghetti Bolognese, lamb chops and Thai style chicken provide familiar hot meals, and the sandwich counter covers bacon, sausage, chicken, tuna, corned beef and several crisp pork or duck fillings.
The Chinese selection includes Hong Kong style roast duck, special fried rice, vegetable noodles and curries with chicken, pork or barbecue pork. Sweet and sour, black bean with chilli and honey with black pepper sauces offer distinct flavours, while Malaysian vegetable curry and mixed vegetable rice make the menu flexible for meat free diners.
