    This is an odd one. Went to VQ with two others at just before midnight. Queue was really unorganized and people seemed to be allowed to just push in front of others. Once inside the atmosphere is nice, staff seem constantly busy so getting their attention to place an order isn't fun. Onto the food. Just a heads up, nothing here is fresh. Everything comes from frozen and that's very clear in the quality of the food. We ordered 3 starters, hummus, spicy wings and halloumi fries. We loved our starters, in fact, we went away wishing we had only ordered starters because the mains were terrible and so were the sides. Three mains ordered: fish and chips. Chicken burger. Waffle and friend chicken. The chicken burger was fine, just bland like the fries. The waffle was from a packet and tasted like it, huge disappointment. The fish and chips was so disgusting we had it removed from our bill. The chips that came with it were BLACK. This is common when frozen chips are removed from the freezer too early. The fish was almost rancid. This is not an exaggeration, it stunk and tasted exactly as just about to go off fish does. So yeah, the manager removed it from the bill but nothing else. No replacement offered, just 'i'll take it off the bill'. We were asked what we wanted to replace it and assumed the small side of Mac and cheese we ordered would be comped since it didn't arrive until our entire table had finished eating but no, full price. We got four sides; hash browns, dirty fries, Mac and cheese and coleslaw. The coleslaw was alright, it got added to the bland chicken burger when it should already have been included. The dirty fries were awful, don't think the chef has ever had dirty fries. The hash browns were a rip-off, plan and simple. Came from a frozen bag, £7 for each little hash brown. You can see the size in the picture. What a joke. Mac and cheese was pretty good as was the iced mocha we got. Cocktail was £9 and had basically no alcohol in it. The prices change at night and are not displayed on the menu. We paid £3 more than listed for every dish, and the £7.50 chicken burger cost 12.50. that's a £5 jump from the daytime prices. Once again, no menu we were given reflected this. The prices all showed the daytime prices. They also add a 12.5% for service. What service? As I mentioned before the waiters are so busy you never see them. In fact we couldn't order our mains until our starters were finished as they only came over to clear the table. £106 for a terrible meal. As we said, we wished we had stuck with just starters. I wouldn't return but this doesn't matter to the business as they prey on people leaving the local bars. Terrible place, please go anywhere else.

    The dish was much smaller than I expected for the price but very tasty indeed. Lovely soft, yoke. Good strong cup of coffee. I quired the 'Discretionary Service Charge'.....

    Out of the 3 starters I only liked the battered prawns, the rest tasted pretty frozen to me, including the halloumi fries, felt like I was biting into an apple. For the main I ordered a beef burger. It was far too greasy for my liking, also didn’t like the service, it seemed like they were tired waiting for home time.

    Sorry to share it with you guys but I just had an order from there on deliveroo. Don't get me wrong it got to me warm but its the lack of care when cooking. Tale of 2 halves really my pasta was overcooked and my onion rings were undercooked so under that you can still see the flour. So unfortunately I won't be ordering again. I hope it's different inside the restaurant but doubt ill try that either 😏

    Used to be a great after hours coffee/drinks/ meals but, sadly, the door policy (even for those considerably over 18), is photo-id only. OK, maybe most people carry photo ID now, but it isn't the law. So, 1.30am on a Saturday, with empty tables inside, the manager insists on no photo ID, no entry. We've been going there for 30 years but in recent years, we've noticed the change of vibe. Skip it: get in a cab and go to Quaglinos instead: better club, no entry fee, better staff.

    Been coming to VQ for years I love the staff and the atmosphere. Food and coffee is brilliant at a fair price and what more there open 24 hours a day. You do need ID to get in as that's the council requirement for the licence. But strongly recommend .

    High quality service despite multiple incoherent iterations from our large group at 3am… diverse and high quality champagne choices, innovative milkshake concoctions, exquisite halloumi fries… and a beautiful birthday cake on the house… I even quite enjoyed being ID’d at the door… a rarity in my 40s with my hairline… Riviera in St James could learn a thing or two from the crew at VQ!

    Stumbled upon VQ on a late one. Really cool n nice vibe, albeit 12.30am 😆. Had a tasty cheeseburger and fries. Mates had pancakes, fish and parter had eggs benedict. The prices were fair and wasn't a long wait too. Very happy with the late night experience and will return again

    Very small, but quite nice love the concept 24hrs, went after a work shift. Staff seem nice enough. A bit slow on taking our order (I was hungry mind), Fast food service as soon as they had taken our food and drinks order. Food was on point!!! very tasty compliments to the Chef. I did order a side scrambled eggs dry which there was mixed up with my side, this was rectified very quickly and my scrambled eggs was perfect!! I'd go again.

    My friends and I went to this place because we wanted brunch but in the evening. Most ordered chicken and waffles but some people got ribs, chicken burgers and calamari, everyone enjoyed their food. The service was good and the restaurant wasn't too busy. The price of the food was pretty good too. I wish the chicken and waffles was with American style waffles instead of Belgian but it was still pretty good. My mocktail, morning passion was really good.

    Me and my friend came here quite late so it was completely empty. I got the prawn linguine and it was really nice, it did get a bit sickly towards the end however. My friend got a burger and chips which she said was good but she’s had much better. The service was very attentive and welcoming 😊

    I've gone a couple of times for breakfast now & thoroughly enjoyed myself each time. The food is great, it comes out in a timely manner & the staff are really friendly & helpful. Honestly a perfect place to have a breakfast after a night shift. Eager to see what it's like in the afternoons & evenings now!

    We had the pleasure of being served by Chaitali which she done an incredible job of doing. She had made sure we like our drinks and gave us amazing customer service. Will definitely come again!

    Travelled across London for some dinner and drinks tonight at what is usually my favourite spot for late night dining. However the bouncer on the door was ridiculously unpleasant and rude. He was extremely pedantic about queuing behind the rope despite there being no one in the restaurant or anybody queuing. He asked for ID which seemed strange but we happily obliged for him only to snatch them out our hands and give us dirty looks, being sarcastic when I asked him to repeat what he asked for as I didn’t hear him. My friend and I turned to one another and decided we didn’t want to spend our money at this establishment given how revolting this man was on the door and decided to leave. After several years supporting VQ establishments and raving about them to everyone, I will no longer be wasting my money there. I hope the owners realise this man they’ve employed to work on their door is putting customers off and leaving them very unhappy and hungry!

    Ordered chicken and waffle. Chicken was not cooked, still very pink inside. Told waitress, gave option to recook it. Returned couple minutes later, chicken still uncooked in some parts. Potentially dangerous. Tasted horrible, no taste, very bland, tasted of just oil and burnt flour. Very surprised they didn’t offer to make a fresh batch. The waffle appears to not be freshly made and seems like bought from local supermarket. I still paid for food, because this is someone’s business. but honestly an appalling meal, I would have expected some sort of review of this horrible food from them to ensure I was happy or something considering it is health snd safety issue. Orange juice is not freshly squeezed in my opinion. I could be wrong, I feel again it came from a box cartoon. Maybe it was just a one off bad dish. I personally would not voluntarily choose to return to this restaurant. I’m a major foodie, and was very disappointed. Positive note- staff are nice.

    Really nice affordable spot for brunch or dinner. Love the atmosphere. Casual and good service. Menu had a lot of options. Had the pancakes with berries and nutella. Very delicious and good value for money. Ingredients were pretty fresh. This is a chain so there are a few in town. Highly recommend for lunches, brunches or casual dinners.

    Still the best flat white and best service in all of London. Iconic for its opening hours but epic for their kindness. There's a reason I've been coming here 20 years. Special thanks to Yael and Ritish for my last best flat white of 23!

  • 4/5 Louise C. 2 years ago on Google
    24hours Restaurant, Great menu. Food tasted freshly cooked. Very yummy! Service was efficient. Will definitely go back. However I Don't agree with the cover charge for just 2 people, as there is already a 12.5% service charge. Is this a new thing? We paid anyways as everything was on point!

    Incredible place we found on the way to Stamford Bridge for breakfast. Then later that night we had dinner around midnight. All the food was fantastic as was the service. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Anthony K. 2 years ago on Google
    R n B mixed with dirty fries, chicken bacon, lamburgers and a sexy range of wines. Friendly attractive staff and of course open 24hrs, except for Christmas.

  • 1/5 Luke C. 9 months ago on Google
    15 minutes. When I asked the waiter if I could order he told me it’s not such a big deal he has a whole restaurant to serve and rolled his eyes at me. Disgusting service. I used to be a waiter in my twenties and would never ever have done that to a customer. Will not come back. VQ used to be the place to go before home. Not anymore.

    The food is generally good for what you pay for but they do not pay attention to the extras in your order. I ordered extra beans with my English Breakfast and they didn't send them.

    such a disappointing visit this evening at VQ Fulham. i am a regally at this spot as its near home. The veggie breakfast here is amazing absolutely spot on always. however recently i have noticed alot more chitty chat about work hours or extra hours with the manger and the staff but no harm than there. serving food with a strain of hair on the edge of the plate is a step towards why i had to write this review with photo proof. table number 19 greeter # 1003 18/05/23 22:15 after gym being very hungry i ordered my food and food arrived i grabbed my knife and fork and starting eating my food as the lighting is slightly deem towards the end of the restaurant i didn't noticed the hair hanging on my plate at this point i had two option stop eating wait for a new plate be brought or carry on blow the hair and eat the food, due to the fact that i was very hungry i finished my food asked for the bill and the same waitress whom served i told her kindly you may wanna remove that from the table and i was embarrassed and apologised and took the hair with her. it was later this evening that i throw up all the food as i felt somehow of the food not sitting will in the stomach.

  • 5/5 Emily Julia K. 1 year ago on Google
    So nice! I had a veggie sandwich, chips and granola with fruit and yoghurt. Mindblowing! All very fresh and made with love. The granola was warm😍 The staff is kind and helpful, great manners. Very hip music and laid back vibe. Recommend!

  • 4/5 Olapeju A. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited today and the food was great...I wanted a place where I could eat all day breakfast and I found it right here...the mushrooms were well steamed, the hash browns were crispy, the eggs were well done ✅ the first time I had a restaurant actually get it spot on. The muffin toast was brilliant, not quite sure I enjoyed the baked beans, sausages were properly cooked and the chai latte was delicious. The staff were attentive, they did not have a big menu however it is sufficient for the size of the restaurant. The restaurant itself is quite small with a small bar area. Outside seating is small as well. The toilets were clean and in the basement so be careful when you go down the stairs. (Watch your head) Just along the high street there was no parking area. They are still giving 20% off for NHS staff. Overall I enjoyed the meal 😋🥰👍🏼

    A lovely breakfast of fresh orange juice, coffee and eggs benedict, fast, happy service and good food. The OJ was a great wake up. A must visit if you are in the area for a fabulous breakfast. Staff were also very nice.

    Had delivered Chicken Milanese, Baked Vanilla Cheesecake, Iced Latte and Pineapple Juice.Food is delicious, fresh and hot. I don't know what's the hate for some of the recent reviews, but giving credit where it is due. Tonight I had a lovely meal and enjoyed every bit of it, thank you! Kudos 💕 What you see is what you get, had to take a bite before snapping as it was that scrumptious

    Sat in for breakfast / brunch on a Sunday morning and was surprised with how much we enjoyed it. Service was friendly and attentive, food was well priced and exactly what we were looking for. The option of small or large portions for most breakfast items was perfect for our situation
