Milo Lounge

Situated in the building which used to be Pistachio Restaurant and the downstairs Vinyl bar, Milo is, in my opinion, one of the best all round venues on Lark Lane.
Opening 9am til 11pm seven days a week, Milo is probably the hardest working venue on Lark Lane too. I can’t think of another business in this area that serves breakfast through to late night cocktails — if you wanted to you could probably live here!
The menu is a eclectic mix of posh American diner-​esque fare like ‘triple stacked’ buttermilk pancakes for breakfast and the frankly outrageously good Hero hamburger and a sort of Mediterranean (ever had a ‘Spanish Butty’ for breakfast — you should try it!) and British gastro pub fusion (the posh fish finger sandwich and Winter vegetable risotto are other favourites of mine).
As for the desserts… approach with caution. They are not for the faint hearted. You’ll feel like you need a bit of a lie down after the sticky toffee pudding.
The wine choice is pretty good and there is an interesting mix of beers, both bottled and on draught. There is also a refreshingly concise list of classic cocktails (some with a twist) and an impressive and classy collection of whiskeys and gins.
The Loungers interior style fits in perfectly to the Lark lane vibe with its flock wallpaper, retro photos and prints and shabby chic furniture. Only a few weeks after it first opened it already felt like this place had been here for years.
A mention must also be made of the always friendly and helpful staff who help to make a visit to Milo a very pleasant experience all round.
Highly recommended.
