Delicious, healthy food made with care and from quality ingredients. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Service from the heart from a very warm server.

Will definitely be back very soon.

Good little spot for a coffee or a bite to eat. We opted for the tapas plates which were £16.50 for 5. 
Service was quick and as we sat outside we enjoyed a spot of people watching which is great as it's so close to the station. 

The food had some high points and some not-so-high points. First off, we ordered the pulled pork burger off the tapas menu...and we received 1 burger! 1 burger?! To share?!  A bit bizarre but it was delicious nonetheless. The calamari with chilli jam was fantastic, and so was the halloumi. 
I wouldn't order the sweet potato and spinach fritatta again as it was quite bland, and the watermelon and feta dish served watermelon abit too soft for my liking, but 3 out of 5 dishes is pretty good odds I'd say! 

Overall a good place to grab a bite, in a great location with good coffee. You've just got to be clever with your ordering skills. 

Not a "cut above the rest", but a snip away from great.

Connected to the Young Vic Theatre, The Cut is a very modern and trendy cafe/bar. I have walked past the place on my way to work for the last couple of weeks and really wanted try it. Very open modern industrial interior decorated with posters of current and past shows. I stopped by for a coffee and a cookie to satisfy a sweet craving. Was really pleased to see they have almond milk and matcha options. I went for a standard latte, propped stuff, and white choc cookie, really yum and gooey. 
Defiantly will be back for lunch or a drink.

Waterloo, there must be something here to do...
Waterloo, no mans land for me and you?

If you are looking for a place to go for a cheeky cocktail, you could do a lot worse than The Cut Bar. It's part of the Young Vic and serves up hot toddy's, mulled wine and winter mojitos all for under a fiver. They also have really tasty bar snacks.

It's a cute bar that is nice for a quick drink before a show or in our case, a visit to the BFI IMAX. It's cosy and busy but the queues for the bar aren't long and the prices are pretty good. During the holidays you might have to fight with a small child for a seat, which is a bit much to handle but apart from that, I'd say it's one of the best options in the area.

Erm...Soft Shell Crab on a bun? Who can say no to that???
This ultra filling burger is made up of salad, tomatoes, mayo and some oh so good salsa that went perfectly with the crab. The burger was 9 quid and i added spinach (I was surprised that it came cooked) for an extra pound.

Best burger I have had. The balcony was also really nice to eat at and made everything feel so wonderful.

I've eaten at The Cut a few times, and the food is delicious. The deep-fried goats cheese with honey is absolutely exquisite. This time I had the deep-fried halloumi, which was absolutely fantastic, and the soup of the day - butternut squash and coconut - which was also lovely. The cocktails are decent and the prices are reasonable - I definitely plan to return.

Be warned that it gets very busy here so it's crucial to book in advance for a Friday or Saturday in particular.

This bar is nicely located on the cut, it is two floors with outside seating area on the balcony and just outside on the ground floor.  It's a cute quirky place with sofas, large tables with chairs. 
Their menu is a mix of diner and high end salads.  I ordered a beetroot, parsnip salad with basil potatoes.  I wasn't very impressed with the salad, there wasn't that much flavour and it was pretty poor for £8.00 and £2.00 for a pineapple juice is a bit expensive.  The service was ok, considering that we were some of the only people eating, I expected a lot more.
They forget the order of potatoes which we had to ask for. 

I have had coffee here a few times and the coffee is good, they use teapigs which is a plus and their croissants are tasty :) 

It does get quite busy after 5, especially in summer when everyone congregates on the balcony.  You can also reserve spaces and they have free wifi which is always handy. 

If you want somewhere just to hang out and talk to your friends then this is a nice place, I wouldn't really recommend coming here for a meal.

This bar, part of the Young Vic theatre, is an excellent venue, especially if it's warm enough to sit outside - there's a long balcony with heaters and plenty of seating. If not, then it's still ok but usually a little on the cramped side and pretty noisy too.

It's all black furniture, stone floors, low lighting and a buzzy ambience that veers more on bar than pub, especially after 5. Although it's part of the theatre, it attracts a mixed crowd including a lot of after-workers. As such, it has that after-work buzz that's only really appealing to those who have just escaped the office. 

As far as options in the local area go, this is a good one, but go early if you want a seat, or don't go expecting one.

I must have walked past this place a few times assuming it was all part of the Young Vic and not fully realising what was inside. It was only when a friend suggested it for a girly catch-up dinner that I realised it was a restaurant and not just a theatre bar. We arrived at about 7.30pm and had booked a table just in case, but it turned out to be well timed with a mass exodus of pre-theatre folks around then as they left to see whatever show was on that night. This was lucky as the place feels bigger than it actually is, helped by the clever double height ceiling and mezzanine upper floor.

The menu spans a good mix of mostly British dishes, and in hindsight I wish I'd gone for one of the more interesting sounding choices than the burger which was a little dry and really quite average. They have a compact but decent wine list which cheered me up though. The service was also noteworthy in hitting a good balance of friendly familiarity and efficiency, and there was one guy in particular (who seemed to be a manager) who really made us feel valued.

I wouldn't go back for food, but perhaps for a drink with my arty-type mates if I was in the area and it was on the right side of the theatre's performance times, as there's a nice enough buzz around the bar.
