Brunch! That delightful meal that\u2019s just too late to be called breakfast, but is eaten significantly earlier than lunch. And if you\u2019re looking for a place where brunch has become somewhat of an institution, then it has to be London.<\/p>\n
It can be either a lavish, luxurious affair, or sometimes brunch is a value for money<\/a>, hearty meal that you squeeze in just before heading off to something else. But whatever your reason for brunching, you\u2019d do far worse than trying out one of the following eateries.<\/p>\n So let\u2019s jump straight in with one of the most luxury venues \u2013 The Wolseley<\/a> in Piccadilly. Served until 11:30hrs, breakfast\/brunch here is something of an art, with every type of egg you could think of being on the menu.<\/p>\n Of course, you could go for a Full English<\/a>, or choose the healthy option of fruits, cereals and yoghurts. If you fancy something a little different, then how about Haggis<\/a> with duck eggs, or the famous Wolseley fishcake? You can even enjoy oysters, lobster or Cornish crab \u2013 there really is something on the menu for every taste.<\/p>\n Be sure to make a reservation, especially at the weekend<\/a>. As although it\u2019s a little pricey, this is one brunch joint that people return to again and again\u2026<\/p>\n For brunch with a view, you can\u2019t beat the Duck and Waffle Restaurant, located at the top of the 40-storey skyscraper – the Heron Tower.<\/p>\n Officially, the restaurant\u2019s brunch menu is only served at the weekend. But they offer a pretty good breakfast and all day menus during the week, including such delicacies as Columbian Eggs, Ox Cheek Benedict and Smoked Finnan Haddock.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a pretty awesome location, and whilst eating brunch here isn\u2019t the cheapest you\u2019ll find in London, the view certainly makes up for it.<\/p>\n Serving perhaps one of the best brunches you\u2019ll ever come across, The Breakfast Club<\/a> in Camden Passage, Angel<\/a> is kitsch, cosy and really does serve some one of the best brunches in the city.<\/p>\n Open seven days a week from 08:00hrs, this 80s themed caf\u00e9 knows a thing or two about providing some of the most scrumptious eggs, bacon and pancakes you\u2019ll come across outside of the USA.<\/p>\n It\u2019s popular, so be prepared to wait for a table. But in all honesty, the quality and atmosphere make that little hardship well worth it.<\/p>\n So you might not consider a Japanese noodle bar to be an ideal place for brunch. But Koya Bar<\/a> in Soho have won many loyal customers thanks to an eclectic mix of Asian food mixed with the good old British fry up.<\/p>\n Think such delights as Udon topped with fried egg and bacon. It might sound weird, but it works! The restaurant is open from 08:30 hours, seven days a week.<\/p>\n While we\u2019re on the subject of unconventional brunch menus, then Bombay restaurant, Dishoom<\/a>, certainly fits the bill. With a great location in Covent Garden<\/a>, the restaurant serves a wonderful breakfast\/brunch from 08:00 on weekdays and 09:00 at the weekend.<\/p>\n The cooked breakfast includes two fried eggs on chilli cheese toast, or why not try the spicy scrambled eggs for a kick-start to your day. Whatever your tastes, the menu<\/a> offers a delicious take on the classic English brunch, as well as offering surprisingly great value for money.<\/p>\n If you want to push the boat out, then head to The Landmark London on a Sunday morning.<\/p>\n Here you can enjoy a champagne brunch from 12:30hrs-15:00hrs with delicacies such as Thai chicken salad, coriander and beetroot marinated salmon and black eye bean teriyaki sitting alongside such staples as scrambled eggs and smoked salmon, French toast with maple syrup and a traditional hot English breakfast.<\/p>\n Located in the newly refurbished Great Northern Hotel<\/a> at Kings Cross St Pancras Station<\/a>, the Plum and Spilt Milk<\/a> is a wonderfully calm location in which to enjoy dishes such as smoked salmon, bacon or scrambled eggs.<\/p>\n Open from 07:00hrs on a weekday and 08:00hrs at the weekend, the menu also provides lighter options such as crepes, avocado, porridge and fresh fruit salad.<\/p>\n The Riding House Cafe<\/a> is a popular haunt with those on their way to work<\/a>, and those choosing a brunch meeting with colleagues over sitting in a dull office.<\/p>\n Located on Great Titchfield Street in London\u2019s West End, you can enjoy a wide breakfast\/brunch menu from 07:30hrs in the week and from 09:00 at the weekend. In addition to all the classics, vegetarians<\/a> are well catered for as well, with a great veggie breakfast that includes grilled halloumi, field mushrooms and slow roasted tomatoes.<\/p>\n You can make a reservation here, but breakfast\/brunch tables are only allocated to you for an hour and a half \u2013 just enough time for a business meeting, or to enjoy a morning catch up with good friends\u2026<\/p>\n The delightful Albion Caf\u00e9<\/a> in Shoreditch serves an excellent breakfast\/brunch menu<\/a> with all the staples you\u2019d expect to find. From a fry up to kippers, porridge to croissants, everyone is well catered for here.<\/p>\n You can rock up any time from 08:00hrs, seven days a week to enjoy typically British fare.
