Brunch at Daylesford in Pimlico Road, Chelsea

2 Comments

We had grabbed a bite at Daylesford in Pimlico Road, Chelsea, before. Well, strictly speaking this precise location could be seen to sit just outside Chelsea, but most of our friends think of it as being part of this posh district. GREAT FOR PEOPLE-WATCHING A few weeks ago we popped over for brunch. Especially Ellie had always liked the atmosphere and vibe at Daylesford. It’s all organic, chic, hip, and they have plenty of outdoor seating for people-watching. In the immediate proximity you have The Orange, an upmarket pub we used to frequent regularly at some stage, a luxurious flower shop, and plenty of art galleries.   OUR CHOICES After short deliberation, we ordered a flat white (£3.50), a latte (£4), a Bloody Mary (£9.50), a smoked haddock omelette (£14.50), and eggs royale (£13.50).   SMOKED HADDOCK OMELETTE The drinks and our meals arrived quickly. The coffees were nothing out […]

Pimlico’s Delizie D’Italia – Great Spot for Brunch

3 Comments

We used to live in Pimlico (near the beautiful Vincent Square, on the other side of Vauxhall Bridge Road), and we always loved Delizie d’Italia, a tiny Italian delicatessen with a small amount of indoor and outdoor seating. It isn’t located in the best part of Pimlico, right on Lupus Street, opposite the notorious Churchill Gardens estate. But the area has gone a long way and is perfectly safe during day time. A lot of great places have opened in the area during the past decade, including, for example a vintage clothes store frequented by A-listers. The famous 1930s neo-Georgian Dolphin Square apartment complex is only a stone’s throw away. A fabulous Michelin-starred restaurant is just half a mile away towards Victoria station (our review here). From Pimlico tube station Delizie is less than five minutes’ walk.   The quality of the service very much depends on the mood of […]

Brunch at Brunswick House, Vauxhall – Quite Quirky

1 Comment

Ms B and I have started doing yoga sessions in Vauxhall on Saturday mornings at 11:45am, and last time around we had the brilliant idea to have a ‘small’ breakfast before the hard work, so we returned to Brunswick House for the first time in five years. The high-ceilinged, stately 18th Century building is beautifully decorated inside with lots of chandeliers, a toy airplane, and other items dangling from above, mirrors, paintings, maps and the like on the walls, and a large bar. The main hall is separated into the casual area where we had breakfast and the main part which is reserved for the other two meals of the day, and which is separated through a massive wooden divider. The staff immediately made us feel at home and quickly took our orders. All our good intentions of just grabbing a quick, small bite were gone by the time we […]

Brunch at Foxlow – our Restaurant Review

No Comments

UPDATE 17.01.2020 – ALL REMAINING FOXLOW RESTAURANTS, INCLUDING THE ONE IN SOHO, HAVE NOW PERMANENTLY CLOSED. We have just returned from our brunch at Foxlow in Soho. There are two sister outlets at equally trendy Balham and Clerkenwell. Foxlow has been founded by the same good folks that brought us Hawksmoor (with 6 outlets in London and 1 in Manchester). We had recently been blown away by a visit to their branch in Air Street, no more than 5 minutes walk away. Some of the best steak we’ve had at a very reasonable price in a great environment with quick, friendly, professional service (highly recommend!).    We had also looked at a recent article in the Evening Standard (I’m saying ‘recent’, but they are of course known to repost old articles without any new research; some ‘recent’ articles recommend restaurants that have closed down months ago) by accident, which listed […]

Brunch at Coco Momo, Kensington

3 Comments

We have just returned from one of the best brunches we’ve recently had. Coco Momo in Kensington is an American restaurant. It is owned by pub chain Brunning & Price, who own six other restaurants in town, and it is no relation of Coco di Mama. We were seated at the outdoor seating area on the sidewalk, which was great for people-watching and, thanks to the limited car traffic, not too noisy.    After some deliberation, we opted for the matcha chia seed breakfast bowl (£5), the smoked salmon and avocado on sourdough toast, alfalfa, tomato, chilli, poached egg (£9.75), and the two free-range baked eggs, tomato, kale, sweet potato & halloumi (£9.25), one flat white (£2.75), one Americano (had to be done, right?) with milk (£2.55), one fruit & veg juice (ginger, beetroot, apple, £3.85) and one non-alcoholic Passionfruit Mojito £3.85. Service seemed a little bit confused, but friendly. […]
