Good day folks!
Thank God it's Friday today, right? This can mean only one thing; time for me to recommend to you a fantastic place for breakfast/brunch for tomorrow morning!
I first went to the Modern Pantry with ... you guessed it, my breakfast buddy! The restaurant has a very calm, serene and distinct European feel to it. A large variety of rich, delicious breakfast options to try, this is a place you can revisit time and time again and never get tired of. Full of light, open spaces and private corners, the decision is yours on the type of atmosphere you need to create or prefer to enjoy.
When I was there, I tried the poached eggs on toast with pan fried haloumi, spinach, slow-roasted, vine ripened tomatoes. Very satisfying indeed. There is also a great range of drinks from which to choose. The passionfruit, orange, banana and honey smoothie was just delicious!
Here is the link for the menu:

Give it a go and as always, let me know how you enjoyed it!
'Til next time...
Bon appétit! xx

Breakfast at The Caramel Room, Berkeley Hotel, Knightsbridge
http://www.the-berkeley.co.uk/The_Caramel_Room.aspx
food menu - http://www.the-berkeley.co.uk/uploadedFiles/Caramel_room_breakfast.pdf
I have always been a massive fan of 5 star hotels no matter where they are in the world as they are known to provide a quality of service and ambience that no other environment can generally offer. Having tried various places for breakfast with my breakfast buddy, we decided to 'splash out' as we were about to celebrate my birthday in luxury style. The Berkeley Hotel is a very special hotel; elegant and stylish (with a rooftop swimming pool!), located in the heart of one of London's most affluent areas, Knightsbridge, and opposite Hyde Park, one really could not ask for more.
The Berkeley is famed for it's Marcus Wareing Restaurant that has been awarded 2 Michelin Stars but we'll save that for another time and for another meal of the day. :) (Please visit http://londoneateries.wordpress.com/ for other restaurants that I have recommended and when I do go to Marcus Wareing, I will be sure to feature it on there as well.)
In the meantime, breakfast at The Caramel Room is the type of breakfast that you would want to go and eat for a special treat - be it for a birthday or the celebration of any special occasion, you will not be disappointed. Excellent quality food and service are part and parcel of the deal! A great way to start your day in plush surroundings with an unparalleled ambience, it's like being on holiday any time of the year.
My breakfast buddy and I wanted to try the Japanese breakfast, for the heck of it, :) but we are going to do that when we go back next time. We decided that we were probably not hungry enough, nor in the right frame of mind for that experience so we opted for the more 'traditional' options. I tried the Belgian Waffles with seasonal fruits and maple syrup and I tell you, it was just super! I highly recommend it!
So dear readers, if you have a special occasion coming up or you just want to celebrate being alive or indeed, spend some hard earned cash, go and savour a delightful breakfast at The Caramel Room in The Berkeley Hotel!
Don't forget to tell me how it was! :)
'Til next time...
Bon appétit! xx

Breakfast at Giraffe (restaurant chain across the UK)
http://www.giraffe.net/classic/menu/breakfast
Another successful start to a Saturday morning in February 2012, with my 'breakfast buddy' after my winter holiday blues. Giraffe is a chain of restaurants in the UK that has a very fun and casual style of menu. The perfect place for a relaxed, family meal; not too pricey and a very friendly atmosphere. Just the perfect place to cheer me up! :)
For breakfast, I chose to try:
Brioche French Toast - with apple compote, greek yoghurt, strawberries & maple syrup
Not overly sweet, perfectly made and very satisfying and tasty indeed!
My favourite menu at Giraffe is the Breakfast/Brunch menu. Maybe try it for yourselves this weekend and let me know how it was? :) You will not be disappointed!
'Til next time...
Bon appétit! xx :)

Maison Blanc, Holland Park, London.
Maison Blanc was originally conceived as a patisserie by the French chef, Raymond Blanc. I have tried the cakes there which are absolutely delicious but I had never tried breakfast there. There are currently 14 Maison Blanc restaurants in the UK. Generally, I do my research and book the table well in advance as I like to make sure that I am going to the best restaurants for breakfast, but this particular time, we decided to 'go with the flow' and decide on the day.
So, one wintery, Saturday morning in February, we met at Holland Park tube station and I soon found myself having breakfast with my breakfast buddy at Maison Blanc in Holland Park. We had wanted to go somewhere low key and classy; luckily, this place delivered!
I tried the Eggs En Cocotte with Wilted Spinach. The eggs were beautifully baked, the spinach perfectly wilted and a lovely thick hollandaise sauce on tasty, artisan bread from the Maison Blanc bakery. Mouth watering and very satisfying.
There's nothing better than having a warm, hearty breakfast on a cold, winter's morning and I would definitely recommend this place. Give it a try and as always, let me know how it was! ;)
Awaiting to hear your opinions.
Bon appétit! xx

Workshop Coffee Co., Clerkenwell, London
Good morning readers!
2 weekends ago, it had been 4 years since I had seen my dear, Parisian friend who also loves breakfast, just like me, so I took her out to try this fabulous café-cum-restaurant in Clerkenwell, Farringdon.
Initially known as St Ali, another one of my loveable friends from Melbourne, whom I had met while I was out in Australia travelling for 5 months in 2010, recommended the restaurant to me when she came to visit me in London last year. It was a sister branch from the same city and has since been rebranded to Workshop Coffee Co. and it still has a definitive, Melbournian feel to it.
Melbourne is well known for it’s café culture and this has certainly been ‘exported’ to London so aptly that you feel like you are back there in Oz, enjoying this culture the Melbournians have made their own.
For brunch, there are a variety of amazing options and I chose to go for the ‘Brioche French toast, poached English rhubarb and blood orange mascarpone’ topped off with a poached egg. Highly satisfying, filling and most importantly, delicious. The place is also renowned for its' flat whites. Sincerely recommend this place!
Go try and let me know how it was! Bon appetit! xx
