La Cafeteria is a family friendly cafe and restaurant at 841–843 Forest Road in Walthamstow. A local presence for around two decades, it offers a calm, comfortable dining room with spacious seating and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner rather than focusing on only a morning coffee trade.

Breakfast ranges from a traditional English plate and eggs Benedict to smoked salmon, avocado, French toast and North African inspired shakshuka. Vegetarian breakfast choices and omelettes add flexibility, while sandwiches, wraps and baguettes provide lighter options through the middle of the day.

The main menu mixes British and Mediterranean ideas. Chicken and mushroom pie, pan braised lamb cutlets and salmon sit alongside chicken tagine, seafood pasta, risotto and burgers, with seasonal vegetables, couscous, potato dishes and aromatic sauces giving each plate a more individual character.

Meze such as hummus, tzatziki and baba ghanoush work well for sharing, and salads provide further vegetarian choices. A separate drinks bar serves wine, beer and cocktails, allowing diners to settle in for an evening meal as comfortably as they might stop by for breakfast or lunch.

Address: 841–843 Forest Road, Walthamstow, London E17 4AT, England
