Nine Elms, International Restaurant Guide

Near the entrance to Battersea Power Station in an attractive, spacious new unit, this South African all-day cafe beamed down at the very end of 2023. Specials include a pork schnitzel fried in corn flakes, healthy salads and in-house twists on familiar cocktails. The Evening Standard’s Jimi Famurewa was very impressed by brunch here in his February 2024 review (“I cannot see a universe where most of us will not be charmed by the gloss, rigour and sun-warmed generosity of Tashas”). Some of our initial feedback agrees saying it’s “hit the ground running and very good in every respect”. Not everyone’s impressed, though, with the odd report of “disappointing” food and service that’s “unconcerned”.
