Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Eltham

"The “highest 24/7 restaurant in London”, Duck & Waffle in the Heron Tower is almost as spectacular as the ride up the lift is thrilling. Dishes, which are matched, but not limited to their appropriate time of the day include duck egg en cocotte with soldiers; ox cheek doughnuts and their signature crispy duck confit and waffle; and corn dogs, duck kebabs, and crispy pig ears. Duck and waffle at Duck and Waffle, in the City — a 24-hour restaurant that is more than a late-night outlier"

"Prior to London being plunged into lockdown, Duck & Waffle was serving its popular brunch menu seven days a week. The menu’s back, but is currently only available between 7am and 5pm on Saturday and Sundays. Which gives you plenty of time to sample some of the destination restaurant’s signature dishes."

"It’s on the 40th floor of the Heron Tower, making it one of the highest bars in London and Europe, for that matter."

"Don’t be put off by the celebrity clientele; you don’t have to be rolling in it to breakfast like a king at The Wolseley, The restaurant is famous for having the best Eggs Ben in London and, at £7.50 a plate, it’s hardly got a Mayfair price tag. If you do feel like splashing out, mind, there is a luxurious caviar omelette on the menu for £70. 📍 160 Piccadilly, W1J 9EB"

"Restaurateurs Chris Corbin and Jeremy King opened this ambitious pillar of the London restaurant industry, a homage to Europe’s “grand cafés,” 18 years ago. It’s a spectacular room which has long set the standard for all-day dining in this city. It also borders on the theatrical; this is an experience that’s about more than the food."

"Perhaps the most famous of Corbin & King’s empire, The Wolseley is an art deco building just next to The Ritz. The interior is glitzy, with soaring ceilings and marble columns. This London institution serves excellent bistro classics in style; think schnitzel, juicy steaks and chopped salads."

"Bill Granger’s tasty brunch dishes are loved the world over, finding fans first in Australia, where he opened his first restaurant Bills, and later across the globe, with the UK outpost, Granger & Co., serving an informal menu of breakfast and all-day dishes in Chelsea, Notting Hill, King’s Cross and Clerkenwell. Visit for brunch before 12pm to sample signature dishes such as ricotta hotcakes with banana and honeycomb butter, toasted coconut bread, and sweetcorn fritters with roast tomato, spinach and bacon. 175 Westbourne Grove, W11, grangerandco.com"

"Tucked away a couple of minutes from the station, Granger & Co’s King’s Cross branch brings a slice of Australian sunshine to the heart of London. Inside its chic, 1970s-inspired interiors customers are treated to a sumptuous menu, which offers favourites like poached eggs and avocado on sourdough toast alongside signature dishes. For those looking for a special start, the buckwheat bowl, complete with sunflower sprouts and goat’s milk, is a must-try."

"Restaurants Diners Spitalfields. Available to order online. Breakfast naturally takes centre stage at this cluttered, ersatz homage to John Hughes’s cult ‘youth’ movie, although this Club runs right through from brunch to dinner, with pancakes rolled out and stacked up in mind-boggling quantities."

"The queue that snakes outside the doors of The Breakfast Club is a good indicator of how great the food is here. When you get inside, there’s a modern, rustic vibe, with the café’s own merchandise for sale on the walls and photos of previous customers at their tables. The menu is fun and varied."

"So, is there any surprise why there's usually a queue outside its venues on a daily basis?. We think not but, rest assured, its food is worth the wait. The institution's pancakes come pilled high, fluffy and pretty damn perfect."

"7 - 9 Charlotte Street, Fitzrovia, London W1T 1RG Why should you care?. After success at London Bridge and with their lockdown deliveries, Where The Pancakes Are has opened a new restaurant in Fitzrovia, filled with all the sweet and savoury pancakes (and Dutch Babies) you could ever want."

"Restaurants Crêperies Southwark. Minimalist and airy (with an outdoor terrace), this independent little pancake spot in Flat Iron Square does one thing: pancakes. But boy, does it do them well."

"Sweet, savoury and gluten free pancakes are on the menu at this pancake house. Flat Iron Square, 85a Southwark Bridge Road, London, SE1 0NQ. Tube: Borough Station"

"Eggslut opened their first London restaurant in Notting Hill and it was a huge hit. This sees them expanding to Fitzrovia where they'll be serving up more of their eggy buns to Londoners."

"Layers of honey browned butter sponge with dulce de leche, whipped cream and Biscoff crumbs, it’s heavy and rich in flavour but so light and spongy in texture. 212 Balham High Rd, London SW12 9BS"

"Established in 1917 as an unlicensed Italian café, The Ivy expanded into its current site in 1923, quickly becoming an institution for the highbrow theatre set, including regulars Laurence Olivier and Noel Coward. Having passed through many hands — Corbin and King bought it in the late 80s, Richard Caring has been the owner since 2005 — The Ivy experienced a decline in favour, before benefitting from a makeover in 2015. It didn’t just get a rather impressive art deco bar, but a new menu too — with Asian-influenced dishes rubbing shoulders with the classics (shepherd’s pie, sausage and mash) for which it is so loved."

"Restaurants Contemporary European Covent Garden. Most of the celebs have moved on, but the splendidly re-energised Ivy is still one of London’s more covetable treasures. Come here for five-star service, supreme hospitality and the chance to eat upscale shepherd’s pie (or anything else you fancy) in a beautiful room emblazoned with harlequin stained-glass windows."

"Join everyone who is, was or will be anyone at the original celebrity haunt. The Ivy London, perfectly situated in the heart of Theatreland, routinely draws in celebrities from the worlds of film, TV and theatre. Laurence Olivier and Noël Coward have made way for David and Victoria Beckham, Angelina Jolie and Kate Hudson."

"The breakfast menu at Ask for Janice has everything you could ever want: from sweet to savoury, hot to cold. We’d recommend the baked eggs with merguez sausage, roasted peppers and yoghurt – it’s their best dish, IOO. It’s open from 7.30am, and is the perfect place to start your day."

"This trendy Barbican spot is known for its flipping delicious pancake offering every day of the year. Feast on the classic bacon, maple syrup and pecan nut offering or opt for a fluffy stack topped with poached caramel apple and stem ginger biscuit. We're not drooling, you are."

"Smithfield restaurant has sweet, savoury and vegan friendly pancakes. 50-52 Long Lane, London, EC1A 9EJ. Tube: Barbican Station , Farringdon Station"

"We had a memorably good delivery from this Bethnal Green restaurant at the beginning of lockdown. They do seasonal special sushi platters and their wagyu and foie maki rolls are amazing. Read our Test Drive."

"Japanese , Sushi"

"One minute the sea will be there, then at low tide it’s literally completely disappeared. (Hence why the pier needed to be so long back in the day!). The largest beach which is closest to everything is Jubilee Beach."

"Proving that aesthetic food can be delicious too, Milk Train specialise in creative offerings that have delicious flavour combinations to match. Set in a light and airy interior with hanging flowers, this Covent Garden spot is a real treat for the senses. While their ‘normal’ ice creams are fairly luxe themselves, if you’re looking for extra wow factor we recommend taking on their specials menu."

"A post shared by 🌺 •P I N K A• 🌺 (@pinka___) on Jun 5, 2019 at 4:32am PDT. Milk Train has taken soft-serve ice cream to a new level with its quirky cafe in Covent Garden. The showstopper in the shop’s creative portfolio is the dreamy candyfloss cone, which combines two of your favourite childhood treats – ice cream surrounded by a cloud of candyfloss."

"We have to say – these are easily the prettiest and most Instagrammable ice creams and sweet treats you’ll find in London. The candy floss ice cream is a like a work of art, with the only tricky part being getting a perfect photo before the whole thing melts. A delicious scoop of pure beauty."

"The Lowdown: The Parlour at Fortnum and Mason is guaranteed to impress anyone – the perfect place for a fun and delicious outing. Expect a build-your-own sundaes bar, where visitors are treated to a menu detailing every way to eat ice cream, including a gin and tonic float. For a sweet treat, cosy up with a Parlour Hot Chocolate – with the choice of milk, dark or white, you can make it merry with Thunder Toffee Vodka, Butterscotch Schnapps or Grand Marnier, all topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings."

"Address: 1st floor, Fortnum & Mason, 181 Piccadilly, St. James's, London W1A 1ER. High end and extravagant, this is great way to experience a twist on the famous tea shop, where you can build your own sundae, chose a classic Knickerbocker Glory or enjoy a fruity sorbet. As well as a selection of new and innovative ice creams, including an afternoon tea-inspired sundae, this luxurious London cafe also offers artisanal coffee, hot chocolate and savoury snacks."
