Mona Lisa Cafe & Restaurant is a long standing neighbourhood café at 417 King’s Road in Chelsea. Its traditional dining room offers the easy pace and personal character of an independent local, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner without unnecessary formality. The cooking combines English café staples with Italian pasta, seafood and substantial meat dishes.
Breakfast brings together eggs, bacon, sausage, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms and toast in familiar cooked combinations. Sandwiches, burgers and salads suit a quicker visit later in the day, while coffee and tea make the café an approachable stop between meals. Mozzarella in carrozza, with breaded cheese and tomato sauce, provides a distinctly Italian beginning to a longer lunch or dinner.
Pasta choices include spaghetti Bolognese and fettuccine carbonara, alongside other tomato, cream and seafood based recipes. Veal and chicken escalopes can be prepared with classic Italian sauces, while calf’s liver with onions, roast chicken, pork and fish broaden the main course selection. Vegetables and potatoes complete plates designed around straightforward, comforting flavours.
Calamari, mussels and king prawns give seafood diners several routes through the menu, while vegetarian guests can combine pasta, salad and vegetable dishes. Wine and beer accompany the evening service, with espresso, cappuccino and hot chocolate available throughout the day. The broad selection and relaxed setting allow Mona Lisa to work equally well for breakfast, a quick King’s Road lunch or an unhurried supper.
