MATHILDE'S AT THE HEATON COOPER STUDIO

Mathilde's at the Heaton Cooper Studio is a cozy little spot in Grasmere that's as much about the art as it is about the food. You've got delicious lunches and cakes that could make the Grim Reaper reconsider his life choices. Just ask AR, who raved about the mackerel and Swedish meatballs, declaring the 'dream kaka' to be the best cake ever. Can’t blame him; it sounds like cake heaven.

The vibe is artsy and relaxed, perfect for winter when you're trying to warm up after a soggy walk. Bernice Phang loved the Scandinavian brunch, and honestly, it’s hard to resist a place where the food's as good as the aesthetic. Just watch out for the occasional staff grump, but hey, we all have our days, right? Overall, it’s a solid choice if you’re in the area, and it’s keeping the cleanliness standards high. Worth a visit for that sweet fix.
