Fresh, homemade food, The Place Below is a little cafe tucked away in the crypt of St. Mary Le Bow church in Cheapside, not too far from St. Paul's Cathedral. The cafe is vegetarian with hot dishes, sandwiches, homemade soup, salad and utterly sinful sweets. You may get lucky in summer, if the weather is good, they have tables and chairs out in the Bow churchyard. They are crowded at lunch, but offer lunch discounts if you eat from 11:30 to noon or after the rush between 1:30 - 2:30. The menu changes every day. Check the website for menus, photos, map and opening hours. They also do breakfast and they do takeaway at a discount.
Open 7:30 a.m. - 3:00 WEEKDAYS ONLY, lunch starts serving at 11:30
I had homemade leek soup, my companion had quiche and salad. Time Out London apparently awarded them with the best quiche in London! Everything is good, even the lemonade and orange juice is freshly squeezed.
