Very near the South Kensington Tube Station. This is an unassuming, mostly local, little sandwich shop. They have a large variety of sandwiches from which to choose. The owner operates the shop and is enthusiastic about what he does. The sandwiches are good.

Visited with three ebullient kids, a pushchair and a large bag. In spite of our imposition on this small café, we were made to feel very welcome. We had a simple breakfast, croissant, pain aux chocolat, bread and jam as well as a toasted Panini - all were delicious. Coffee was exceptional. We ordered water for the children and were... More

This little cafe is just around the corner from our hotel in South Kensington, so we stopped in for a quick bite for lunch before heading off to the museums. It is on Bute Street, which is lined with many other little shops and cafes. It is a small place without bathroom facilities, but the baguettes were fresh from the... More

I only live a few minutes walk and have passed this place many times; Bute Street is just off the Old Brompton Road and it is only short so you can't miss this place. Like a lot of places in South Kensington it is taken over by the French which is not a bad thing especially as I lived in... More

The baguettes and sandwiches are fantastic, with imaginative combinations of quality ingredients. On one hand, it looks like an average sandwich shop... More

I decided to visit this little cafe based on the reviews on this site. I had just arrived in London with a group of friends very early in the morning, and it was such a relief to find a welcoming place for our very first experience in the city. We were greeted with free cookies at 6am! Matt has obviously... More

I'm currently staying in London with a friend and visited Raison d'Etre for lunch after looking on trip advisor for nearby places to eat. So glad we came here! There is a variety of baguettes, paninis and toasted forcaccia on the menu, it took us ages to decide as they all sound lovely. One of the waiters kindly helped to... More

I was recently working on a film at the V&A in South Kensington and was looking for a local cafe to provide catering for the cast and crew each morning and lunches at the weekend. Raison D'etre to the rescue. From the very first meeting Matt was friendly, helpful and accommodating. The food was wonderful and provided with great care... More
