![]() ![]() Mount St is the first London-based project from hospitality group Artfarm – the same founders behind the renowned Hauser & Wirth galleries – so art is in the restaurant’s DNA. The art collection is another not-so-minor detail that makes this spot so unique. It’s simple and satisfying and has quickly become one of my most recommended breakfast orders. We order a side of bacon – it is Saturday, after all – but this dish doesn’t need it. The standout dish, though, is the roast heritage tomatoes on toast, which comes with dollops of creamy goat’s cheese curd that perfectly complements the tangy tomatoes. Eggs Royale has been replaced with smoked trout benedict, while avo on toast has been elbowed in favour of devilled kidneys on toast – all part of a menu devised by chef Jamie Shears that elevates traditional British classics. Perhaps one of the most refreshing things about brunch at Mount St Restaurant – which opened in October 2022 – is the absence of the more obvious breakfast choices. Talk a walk through this part of town at 11am on a sunny Saturday, and you’ll be tripping over linen-topped tables adorned with Bloody Marys and perfectly poached eggs as diners snap away for their Instagram feeds. James's, London SW1Y 4RPĭish to order: roast heritage tomatoes on toast Drinks here are also pretty special we loved the spicy bloody mary made with fresh tomato and beetroot juice, or if you’re feeling adventurous, try the tequila iced coffee. Ensure you also order a side of the crispy-coated Haymarket hashbrowns with a side of walnut ketchup for dipping. The Fallow granola – a mix of natural yoghurt London honey and sweet strawberries or the scrambled fluffy eggs on sourdough, drizzled with sriracha. If you aren’t into the royale, we will question your choices however, no stress, as there are two other brunch options. The royale comes in three variations: the infamous sausage burger option, a salmon belly royale with spinach, hollandaise and egg, or a veggie option of portobello mushroom, mushroom parfait, cheese and egg. Think luxe Mcdonald’s McMuffin after a massive glow-up, three times the height and made with premium ingredients. ![]() You’ve probably seen the famous Fallow breakfast burger pop up on your Instagram feed and drooled over its layers of gooey cheese, runny egg and juicy burger stacked between a flaky sweet croissant bun – if not, now is your time to get to know this creation from the Saturday brunch menu. These are the tables to book for the best breakfast in London – plus our hot tip on the dish to order at each – for your next weekend in the capital. We update this list regularly as new restaurants open and existing ones evolve. We're always looking for stand-out dishes, a great location and warm service – as well as serious sustainability credentials. When choosing restaurants, our editors consider both high end and affordable eateries that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination. How we choose the best brunches in LondonĮvery restaurant on this list has been selected independently by our editors and written by a Condé Nast Traveller journalist who knows the destination and has eaten at that restaurant. In the city, meanwhile, Duck and Waffle sits pretty 40 floors up the Heron Tower and is open all night. Ten floors up at The Standard in King's Cross is Decimo, where you can order jugs of margaritas and oozy Spanish tortilla. Some of London's restaurants have sweeping, widescreen cityscapes that can be spotted from the tables – and plenty of these spots do brunch, so you can watch the city waking up and stretching its legs. ![]() All of this, plus anyone extra thirsty can try one of the city’s best bottomless brunches, whereas purists can still get a proper old-school fry-up (we recommend St John’s Bread and Wine for the best bacon sandwich in town). Seemingly every corner of London has brunch favourites from all corners of the world: try an American feast at Sunday in Brooklyn in Notting Hill, order Tel Aviv-influenced small plates at Stoke Newington’s The Good Egg or the must-order egg naan at branches of Dishoom across the capital. No longer trailing behind avocado-loving Melbourne or Bloody Mary-obsessed New York, London’s brunch scene has been thriving for years now, thanks to some of the best restaurants in London starting to open their doors earlier, giving health freaks and hedonists alike many more tables to book.
