Thanks to Emma for sending the update at Almeda at the former Little Vietnam (et al) space in Petworth:
“The interior is pretty much the same as Little Vietnam, but they put the espresso machine on the corner of the bar and you use a kiosk to order. At least in the morning it’s the same Little Food Studio menu (sausage rolls for the win!). The manager also said dinner service started.”
