Stylish Belgravia brunch-to-dinner spot with standout pancakes, chicken Milanese, and warm service, but expect premium pricing and occasional service inconsistencies.
Cleo delivers solid neighborhood dining with exceptional setting appeal and strong food quality anchored by standout brunch items like pancakes and Chicken Milanese. However, inconsistent execution and service slowdowns during peak brunch hours prevent a higher grade. The warm, personable service and stylish Belgravia terrace make it competitive with the area's better neighborhood restaurants, though it falls short of premier destination status.
On Elizabeth Street, the scene at Cleo leans warm and stylish: a sunny terrace for people-watching, chic interiors, and staff who often know the neighborhood crowd by name. One diner summed it up well: "Service made us feel genuinely cared for," and that vibe carries from breakfast to dinner. However, be prepared for busy brunch energy and the occasional slow patch when the terrace fills up. In the kitchen, the approach is modern comfort with Mediterranean notes rather than culinary theater—think fluffy pancakes and crisp Milanese, bright seafood pastas, and mezze-like starters. The culinary approach leans elevated and produce-driven: familiar dishes with refined touches, not experimental techniques. Pricing reflects the Belgravia address, but many guests leave feeling they received solid value for the setting and execution. Families fare well here: pancakes, waffles, eggs on toast, fries, and a burger with fries mean plenty of kid-friendly options. Portions can feel modest on some brunch items, so consider adding a side. If you need strict gluten-free service, confirm details with staff, as one review flagged inconsistent allergy knowledge.
