Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Langley

"For banging food and cocktails with 24/7 views of the London skyline, Duck & Waffle is hard to beat. The 40th-floor restaurant in the Heron Tower serves up plates to rival the view: there’s the eponymous ‘Duck & Waffle’ — confit duck leg with fried egg and mustard maple syrup — for breakfast, seasonal small plates throughout the day, and a late night menu featuring ox cheek doughnuts, salt beef grilled cheese sandwiches, and slow-cooked lamb sloppy Joes."

"A sour, hesitant welcome by a pompous ground-floor doorman made for a bad start to my visit to Duck & Waffle on the 40th floor of the Heron Tower. Once in situ service is still somewhat inconsistent - I found it slow at times, over-attentive at others - but overall the vibe here is relaxed and informal. The destination is more moderately priced than Sushisamba below, the clientele more diverse and the offering more accessible."

"There’s one very obvious reason why Duck & Waffle features in this list — the views. The restaurant is one of the highest in London and it has the impressive outlook to match (just be sure to specify a table by the window, otherwise the effect isn't quite the same). That said, there are plenty of other reasons to come."

"Afternoon tea is totally a thing in the UK, and London has the most options of any city. Traditional afternoon tea is really less about the tea (although it is served) and more about the food!. Clotted cream and scones, crustless sandwiches,  and a myriad of bite-sized sweet pastries and cakes are served in most establishments."

"London heritage meets European glamour at this iconic restaurant, which is still fairly new on the city’s culinary scene. The rich and varied dishes include oysters, steak tartare and grilled halibut. But, it’s not just about lunch and dinner here."

"For a classic brunch at one of London’s most renowned dining institutions What to eat?. Pancakes, with berries or bacon. If you’re in London and looking for a bit of a fancy breakfast experience, then look no further than The Wolsely."

"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"

"With four locations dotted throughout the city, you’ll never be too far from some of the best pancakes in London if you keep Granger & Co front of mind. The pancakes here are actually called Hotcakes (A term used in interchangeably with ‘pancake’ by Americans to describe those small, thick and fluffy American-style morsels of deliciousness we all know and love). The Granger & Co Ricotta Hotcakes are, deservedly so, a legend in their own right."

"Inspired by the junk food dreams of two 80s kids, this family caf (not café) specialises in delivering the best all-day breakfast options, both American and English. To satisfy your breakfast cravings, their classic All-American option includes pancakes, eggs, sausage, bacon and syrup. In addition, they also offer a range of egg dishes including eggs benedict, royale and Mexican Benny, as well as a plethora of other breakfast options."

"Act out your teen fantasies and wallow in ’80s nostalgia at this cluttered, ersatz homage to John Hughes’s cult movie – and tribute to the most important meal of the day. Breakfast takes centre-stage (of course), but this Club runs right through from brunch to dinner. Flagship site: 33 D’Arblay Street, W1F 8EU"

"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."

"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."

"Whatever the time of day, we have a dish to suit your mood; from steak frites and boeuf bourguignon to a selection of croques, baguettes and vegan options too – all on our menu of classic French food with a contemporary twist.” They offer breakfast and brunch dishes such as the Grande Breakfast (two free-range eggs, two Cumberland sausages, sweet cure bacon, beans, mushroom, tomato, black pudding, sautéed potatoes and sourdough toast), Pancakes (three warm pancakes topped with your choice of sweet cure bacon, banana and maple syrup, or fresh strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and pineapple with fruit compot, and French Toast (two slices of sweet brioche bread topped with your choice of sweet cure bacon, banana and maple syrup, chocolate sauce, banana and hazelnuts or fresh seasonal fruit, honey and vanilla crème fraîche)."

"Café Rouge's offers a menu of tasty choices for flexitarians, those on a part-time plant-based diet, or full-time vegan, with friendly restaurant staff on-hand to make recommendations of something to suit you.

"Town centre location just a short stroll from Windsor Castle situated in Windsor Royal Station shopping area. Bustling atmosphere, family-friendly."

"When I first moved to Reading I made it my priority to seek out the best place to head for brunch, and the popular consensus was that Café YOLK are responsible for serving up the best in town. They won South East regional Cafe/Bistro of the Year in The Food Awards England, probably in part thanks to their infamous fry-ups, and as their name might suggest, their incredible eggs. This is obviously the place to go for your eggs benny fix."

"Despite the name, there’s much more to Café YOLK than just great eggs. This award-winning café serves a comprehensive breakfast menu all day, every day, made from high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. Whether you’re searching for that calorific hangover cure or a bowl of wholesome goodness, Café YOLK has just the brunch you need to get you ready for the rest of the day."

"Headed up by the legendary Padam Raj Rai, with almost two decades of experience in the Japanese culinary scene, Hot Stone Steak and Sushi Bar is a mix of trendy decor and real, full-bodied flavours. You know how we mentioned before that it’s rare to taste actually wasabi?. Well, what makes this North London sushi joint all the more special is that it is one of the only places in London that serves real wasabi root with their sushi."

"Hot Stone is an award-winning Japanese restaurant in Islington, which specialises in the ishiyaki method – DIY cooking on hot stones. It is also one of the few restaurants in the UK to serve certified Kobe beef. It’s a truly special dinner experience with Japanese wagyu and scallops to sear yourself, a selection of sushi and sashimi, plus salads on the side."

"In a nutshell: Japanese ishiyaki and sushi restaurant Where is it?. 3 Windmill St, Fitzrovia, London W1T 2HY Why should you care?. Exquisite sushi, top-level Kobe beef and ishiyaki cooking is here for Fitzrovia residents."

"Because it’s been there a while and their terrace is dominated by drinkers in the summer, there may be a bit of snobbery when it comes to Aqua Kyoto. But thanks to Executive Chef Paul Greening and his exceptional knife skills they consistently send out exceptional sushi and sashimi from his kitchen. Because of the other parts of the restaurant and bar some people will avoid Kyoto but it’s hard to find such high-quality sushi and sashimi at this price point in central London."

"The terrace at Aqua Kyoto is the perfect place for a sundowner after a day in the city. Their menu is imaginative and bold, with offerings such as king crab tempura with crab miso and Wagyu maki rolls, so you’ll be sure to find something special to mark the evening."

"Hidden above the swarming streets of Regent Street, Aqua Kyoto is the contemporary Japanese restaurant with one show-stopping terrace. Best to visit at night when lanterns are lit and the cityscape comes to life.aquakyoto.co.uk"

"Restaurants Italian Chelsea. There’s a lot of competition on the doorstep, but seasoned chef Stefano Stecca knows the score and his latest venture serves up exactly what the residents of SW10 expect from a modern neighbourhood Italian. Airy blue-and-white interiors set the scene for confident, unfussy cooking: porcini risotto, melt-in-the-mouth beef ragù, cod with lentils and a winning version of cannoli filled with pistachio cream."

"A list of best restaurants near Windsor Castle would really be missing something if it didn’t include a great place for a slice of pizza. Serving up slices inside its brick-lined bistro, where diners chow down beneath a stunning hand-drawn mural, the ambience here is on point. It’s perfectly suited for both a fast lunch and a romantic Italian dinner."

"A welcoming and well-run chain of Italian restaurants, service is of the cheerful, smooth variety we have come to love and expect. Pizzas, Pastas and a few other main dishes."

"Tucked away on a quiet Spitalfields backstreet that feels untouched by the last hundred years, there's much about Enoteca Super Tuscan that doesn't feel like modern London at all. In fact, of all the restaurants in this list this is the one that's most evocative of Italy itself. As you might guess from the name, wine is as important as food here, and there are some very impressive bottles from Tuscany and beyond on the list, along with more affordable options."

"It’s hard to believe that tucked away amongst the built up surroundings of Hampstead, just 6 kilometres from Trafalgar Square, lies 800 acres of fields and woods. Hampstead Heath transports you to the countryside, with its mosaic of habitats providing a resource for the copious amounts of wildlife. Featuring a number of priority species identified in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan, the Heath is known as one of London’s best places for wildlife."

"Easily one the most cherished green spaces in London, this is a very popular and much-loved area of London which can be found in the well-heeled area of Hampstead. The ‘Heath’ is a natural-looking park with a variety of landscapes including hills, ponds, woodlands and open grassy places. For the more active visitors the area is home to eight playgrounds running tracks, three swimming pools, grassland, woodlands, ponds and sports areas."

"Hampstead Heath Park London is one of the most loved parks in London. There’s plenty of things to do like visiting the Parliament Hill, Golders Hill Park-with a zoo and a gorgeous butterfly house, an open-air Lido, swimming ponds, splash pools, countless sports pitches and facilities, athletics track, playgrounds, stunning listed Pergola and Hill Garden. The list of things to do at Hampstead Heath doesn’t end!"
