Smoke House Deli

2.5

The bistro-chain answer to 'I want a proper table and a decent flat white.'

A branch of the pan-India casual bistro chain, with all-day dining, brunch plates and coffee. More work-friendly than most on this list thanks to real tables and longer hours, though it's still a sit-down restaurant first.

The most laptop-plausible entry here — real tables and long hours — but still a full-service restaurant, not a work cafe.
