London restaurants best for... Breakfasts
160 Picadilly, London W1J 9EB
Situated in a former car showroom, this Viennese style cafe is now a bona fide celebrity magnet where financiers rub shoulders with stars of the stage and screen. Breakfast is probably the hottest ticket here but they also do a very nice afternoon tea too.
50-52 Sloane Square, Chelsea, London SW1W 8AX
Opened by Corbin & King and now part of The Wolseley Hospitality Group, this all day cafe restaurant on Sloane Square was inspired by some of the best Parisian grand cafes. The all day menu is a love letter to French classics from onion soup to Sole Meunière.
50 Marylebone High Street, London W1U 5HN
This Wolseley Hospitality Group restaurant is intended to be evocative of early 20th century Vienna so the menu has a distinct Austrian bent with schnitzels, strudels and more the order of the day.
10 Paddington St, London W1U 5QL
This all-day restaurant serves food inspired by traditional and contemporary Greek cuisine, with many ingredients direct from Greece.
Unit 1b, City Point, 1 Ropemaker St, London EC2Y 9AW
Originally created by Neil Rankin this bar/restaurant serves egg dishes every which way it can (but not desserts). Expect burgers, hash, tacos and more.
93 Golborne Road, London W10 5NL
This is a combined Danish restaurant and deli in Notting Hill. Expect a very Danish all-day menu in very Danish surroundings.
252 High Holborn, London WC1V 7EN
The rise of Holborn Dining Room's fortunes is mainly down to the work of their former head chef, Calum Franklin, who made their pies some of the best in London (and also created the Pie Room). Now in charge is chef Liam Fauchard-Newman and while the whole menu deserves praise, you really need to aim for anything pie-related on the menu (there's always a special pie section).
100 Shoreditch High St, London E1 6JQ
The Ace hotels are always huge wherever they open, the New York one has April Bloomfiled in the house, and have a distinct hipsterish/trendy vibe about them. This Shoreditch outpost sees them bringing in the people behind Bistrotheque and Shrimpy's to run the restaurant, which will serve seasonal English food.
5 St James's Street, London SW1A 1EF
This popular restaurant closed in 1994 (after opening in 1927) and is now being revived by Joel Kissin - who used to be Terence Conran's partner at Conran restaurants. It is a luxury French bistro with a separate cafe called Café Marcel, offering "lighter fare".
55 Aldwych, London WC2B 4BB
Originally launched by Corbin and King, this huge restaurant was designed by the late David Collins. It's inspired by the grand cafdes of Europe and if you're just passing, it's also worth grabbing a snack at the Delaunay Counter.
175 Westbourne Grove, London W11 2SB
The famed Aussie chef moved to London a while back and has since been looking for a place to open here. He's settled on a property in Westbourne Grove, looking to run a casual all-day dining space. Expect a similar set-up to his restaurant in Sydney, but with a stronger focus on Asian cuisine.
