Healthy café restaurant in London
"Farm Girl" in London is a stylish, health-conscious café-restaurant that has established itself firmly in the city's culinary scene since its founding in 2015 by Australian Rose Mann. Originally opened in Notting Hill, the chain has since expanded to several locations in central London neighborhoods such as Chelsea, South Kensington, and Hoxton. Inspired by Mann's childhood on a farm in Victoria, Australia, the concept brings the relaxed, holistic dining culture of Australia to the British capital. It appeals to a wide audience—from health enthusiasts and brunch lovers to Instagram fans who appreciate the photogenic dishes—and combines fresh, nutrient-rich ingredients with a modern, inviting atmosphere.
Australian café culture in London
Culinarily, "Farm Girl" represents a creative blend of healthy and tasty dishes that often evoke the Australian café culture. A highlight is the Açai Bowl, a refreshing mix of frozen Amazon berries, banana, and almond milk, topped with coconut flakes and fresh fruits—an item that not only delights the palate but is also visually stunning. The Green Turkish Eggs are another favorite: poached eggs on a base of spicy yogurt with fresh herbs, offering a perfect balance of lightness and flavor. For meat lovers, there are options like the Slow-Cooked Chicken Sandwich, which impresses with juicy chicken and fresh ingredients, while the gluten-free pancakes—made with baked apples and pears, enhanced with vanilla and rosemary—are a sweet treat that appeals even to health-conscious guests. The menu also includes numerous alternatives for vegan, gluten-free, or dairy-free diets, highlighting the restaurant's versatility.

In addition to the food, "Farm Girl" is known for its innovative drink menu, heavily influenced by superfoods and aesthetic appeal. The Rose Latte, a pink coffee with rose water and dried flowers, is not just a delight but also a visual experience that often makes its way onto social media. The Liquid Gold, a drink made with turmeric, ginger, and astragalus, is equally popular, with its golden hue and a hint of cinnamon reinforcing the café's health promises. The coffee quality, prepared in the Australian style, reflects Mann's passion for excellent coffee that she brought from her homeland.

The service is often described as friendly and attentive, with staff eager to accommodate individual requests, though there may occasionally be wait times during peak hours.
