New on top end of Marylebone High Street and already famous for it's brunch is Cafe Luc. I went there now several times and it great to goe with friends, family or just two of you. I had the Egg Benedict, I really advice this place!
Tried The Crown and Goose's brunch the other day. It's new, I think, because I'd only been there for a pint before. Really, really good. Don't see enough oven coddled eggs around [the creamy mushrooms and thick toast I had with it were also brilliant] and my friend's bubble and squeak with bacon smelled delicious. Missed meat for once. Recommend trying it. Pub is lovely early on a Sunday, too.
Had a very good brunch this weekend at Patisserie Valerie on Picadilly near Green Park. Delicious danish pastries, good coffee, scrambled eggs, fresh oj. Room has marble walls and marble table. recommend it.
try Christopher's Grill in Wellington st. Fabulous sunday brunch and yummi American pancakes with crisp bacon and real maple syrup.
yeah where can you great american style pancakes with bacon and maple syrup - YUMMY!!!!
But which place serves the food in the picture?! i've never found such perfect pancakes in London!! (not that i've looked very hard)
:O)
