What a great find in my area! Have been there twice and the food has been really fresh and filling. The wraps are big enough and they are really well packed. Some places tend to give you tiny wraps or they get stingy with the filling but these are how it should be. For £3.75+ these wraps are more than worth it! The fresh juices are also excellent, so many combinations to pick from and you can get a cup or even a litre container to take home with you! I recommend it to anyone looking to get a great, fresh meal and juices at really reasonable prices.

God’s little gift to those of us in need of a fresh-squeezed juice: Fresco shines big time with a 1 liter option for 5 quid. I got orange-carrot-apple-ginger, and a heavy hand with the ginger makes this a real, zinger of a treat. The fresh food looked amazing too, but alas, I was only there for a juice.

Came here for juice, stayed for the juice. Didn’t quite make it to the food, that my sister was eyeing up hungrily, but the juice was a great indication of what Fresco has to offer. Full of fruit, I had an orange raspberry and pineapple mix, and my sister had some watermelon and pineapple concoction. Decent prices as well for a cup of real honest to goodness fruit. A definite recommend.

Back home in San Francisco I’ve gotten really into juicing: kale, cucumbers, beets, apples, lemons, ginger… But with no room in my luggage for a juicer I started bookmarking juice bars in London hoping to keep up my regimen whilst there for work last week. I liked tiny Fresco as soon as I stepped inside. The juice selections are plentiful but a little light on the«green» options(kale, spinach and the like). If the tiny cups normally served in juice bars leave you unsatiated, never fear! At Fresco you can get an entire litre of juice for about £6. I opted for this jug of juice, choosing carrots, beets and ginger. I was delighted as I watched my juice being made knowing I’d get all the goodness and not have to do any of the cumbersome cleanup! If I lived near Fresco, it’d be my local for sure!

This is a great middle-eastern food establishment, with several locations in London. I’ve only been to the one in Bayswater on Westbourne Grove. I enjoy the fresh food and juices here so much that I have traveled all the way across London to satisfy my craving. It’s not a fancy restaurant, but pleasantly decorated. They do a healthy takeaway trade here, but there are usually plenty of tables if you want to eat in. After many visits here, I think you can say that you are guaranteed the freshest, tastiest falafel and fruit juice in London. I usually get a carrot juice and falafel, and I feel so healthy afterwards.

There is just one guy that serves the food here, always pleasant, always preparing at least 4 people orders at any one time but boy, does he do a great job. There are 3 ladies that make the juices and serve the room, but they always seem more rushed and flustered than the head guy, amazing. Just looking at the counter of freshly prepared food such as pomegranates, humus, feta salads(very long list of colourful healthy things) makes your stomach rumble. Add to that the list of great pure fruit mixes made fresh to order and you have one heck of a healthy and filling lunch to look forward to. Oh, always a good idea to come here with a hang over, get that fresh fruit and veg fix in one easy step. Top tip: if you get there at lunch time and the queue is out the door(this happens almost every day from 12.30), just walk all the way in, sit at a table and your order ill invariably be taken immediately. Generally means that you get served much quicker, and I have even done this in the past, got served, eaten and paid before the person behind me in the original queue has been served. Thank me later ;)

Really, really nice people here. Always a friendly smile and hello. Great juices. They’re light and not too thick or filling, which I like. I usually order a falafel sandwich on pita with hummus and salad. I really like the fillings, but they reheat the falafel and maybe that’s how they intend it to be, but it’s kind of soft and falls apart easily. I prefer crunchy falafel.

I love that there is a Fresco right by both places I spend the most time at whilst I’m in London! It sounds like it should be an Italian place but rather it’s got a Lebanese slant. This is a small location(as is the other as well) but even though it always seems busy, I’ve always found someplace to sit. Staff is friendly and the food is quick, fresh, and delish. But what you really want to come here for are the fruit smoothies! They are made to order and you can get pretty much any combination you can think up. They are the perfect thing to pick up a hot summer’s day to keep you cool and in the winter a toasted panini will warm you up, especially the tomato and mozzarella. But even in the winter you should still get a smoothies. Add Ginger. It will warm you up just the same!

I’m quite stingy with the star ratings, but the hummous at Fresco is worth 10 stars. Seriously, I’ve often wondered if they mix some drugs in it — it’s so delicious & addictive! Everything else that we’ve tried here has also been fantastic — the baba ghanoush, the souvlaki, the fresh juices & the bread.

I’m in here at least twice a week for the #12 juice: carrot, broccoli and beets. To me, if you are going for juice, go big. But they have the best selection of actual, fresh, not frozen juice. They also do yummy Lebanese food. The staff is very friendly, and even though it is tiny, you can fit a pram.

Went into Fresco today for lunch, and I have become a bit of a regular. I had a lovely aubergene-y mussaka(vegetarian) which came with a pile of hot fresh pitta bread and a plate of pickled vegetables(£3.50) and an orange and carrot juice(£2.50). For £6 that’s pretty good value, and it was extremely good. My wife has the ‘set lunch’ which is a falafel and houmous wrap(lovely lebanese bread, in thin layers), and a carrot juice for £4.95, and her friend a mixed plate of 3 mezze for £4.50 with a juice(it was pink and she liked it, can’t remember what was in it). The only trouble is choosing what to eat because it all looks so mouth-wateringly good. We chose to sit in and the food was served quickly, by friendly staff. This is probably the 6th or 7th time I’ve eaten lunch at Fresco in the last few months, and I’ve got nothing to say but good things about it!

One of the best on Westbourne Grove for a quick takeaway lunch. Cant beat a falafel and fresh squeezed strawberry, apple, orange & banana juice! They even play Buena Vista Social Club on the stereo from time to time.

Yessss, love this place. I have no idea what I ordered… but I had like three juices here one morning to cure a ridiculous hangover, and it worked.

Frescos, techincally, is a bit of a misnomer. Selling Lebanese types of food under a Spanish type of a name is a bit weird, but I’ll take it on the chin based simply on the quality of the produce here. The nice Sunny colours on the outside give you a taste of the in — lots of oranges, lemons and apples, ready to be shredded and juiced for your pleasure. The food on offer is the famous yet quite unknown entity of a Felaffel. Very filing, you need to get one. Then a juice… then take stock of your life. Do it!

Fresco makes me weak in the knees. It’s a Lebanese deli/juice bar that makes excellent drinks and remarkable sandwiches. When I bit into my Chicken Escalope ciabatta sandwich with cheese I fell into a warped mind zone paradise. Washing down the sandwich bits with a raspberry-banana-orange-mango juice elevated the joy of the experience to new extraordinary heights. It’s delicious, but it’s not that cheap. A juice and a sandwich costs £7 minimum. Unless you’re a serious moneymaker eating here will probably be just a one day a week luxury.

I love that Fresco is a 10 minute bus ride away from my house because the food nad juices are so good. I love going for a drink here and I’m not about the alcoholic variety. Fresco’s fresh fruit juices makes it so easy to get your five-a-day portions of fruit and veg. I have had lunch here a few times and I am always very impressed. The food is light and fresh– the tabbouleh nad falafels are delicious. I prefer having smaller meals with lots of variety than one big main meal which is why I love Fresco. I can choose a few different dishes from behind the glass counter knowing that food is healthy and tasty.

Due to its popularity, Fresco has expanded, but the Bayswater/Westbourne Grove site is the most well-known. It’s more of a takeaway joint/café(just a few tables) than a proper dining restaurant, and while they really push their extensive menu of freshly-made juices, the star of the show — in my opinion — is the excellent Lebanese food. The tabbouleh, baba ganoush, falafels and hummus are all consistently fresh and flavoursome. And this is definitely your healthy Lebbo — not at all greasy and light on the meats.

It is an odd one this one as I had great hopes for it whenever I first went in. Now I have resigned myself to it not being as good as I think it will be and just getting on with it! Firstly I have to say I can’t fault their juices which they make fresh in front of you(if you get stumped trying to choose I think that Apple, Orange, Carrot and Ginger is always a winner). Then they do various middle eastern dishes and you can choose a few to make up a salad box. I’m a big fan of falefal but I really don’t think that theirs is up to much and neither is their hummous sadly but do a nice chicken escalope. I find that though their food looks really delicious it just doesn’t live up to it with the taste though I can’t really put my finger on why! Maybe things have improved and I should try it again as the food does always look incredibly tempting. Maybe someone else can review it and tell me what they do best!
