Breakfast/brunch recommendations

weirdly me and my friends only recently tried Canvas and Cream and universally declared it our new favourite brunch spot. I'm a stickler for a decent eggs benedict. Those who don't like it an don't go there - I wonder if it has changed recently? Or quite likely, we just have different tastes!

Why are several people slagging off Canvas and Cream but not actually saying why they don't like it? What exactly is it about it that they don't like?


We've had brunch there a couple of times and thought the food, service and general atmosphere was fine, though that was a while ago.

Ok, to be more specific. Having been there twice, the first time a while ago, I can't remember specifically to comment on the food (I don't wish to be innaccurate)but I do remember I wasn't very keen and the service wasn't great- items being forgotten, difficult to get attention, long wait and a surly attitude.


I decided to try it again. This time I thought the waiting staff were lovely, the food pretty grim. ?10 for halloumi breakfast and it wasn't good. Halloumi seemed deep fried and had a distinctly doughnuty taste! I opted to pay an extra 30p for sourgh dough toast (really? on top of the ?10 already)but when it arrived there was cheap and nasty white sliced. I asked for it to be changed for the sourgh dough, which was dealt with politely, but then took ages to arrive, by which time my meal was cold and I'd gone off it.


Don't want to give the place a slating but details were asked for!

Chandelier is a favourite but I was rather put off by the waitress dropping a knife and asking my friend if he would like it replaced as opposed to replacing it by default. It fell on the floor!


Blue Mountain is another recent favourite. Love the avocado on toast with a side of plantains.

I had a delicious brunch twice now at the Palmerston - i believe they are now doing a glass of prosecco on theweekends with brunch too!

The first time I had salmon on potato pancakes and it was to die for. The second time i had waffles, egg and bacon and it was SO yummy although not as healthy as my first option. They also do juices now for brunch too. Highly recommend X

Toasted and Pedler do the best breakfasts (IMO), especially if you fancy something a bit different and can spend a couple of quid extra.


Cafe Viva on Choumert Rd also good - tasty filled breakfast baps, v good pastries, pretty good coffee.


Andersons is also OK with some interesting options, but the pastries are not great.


Mr Bao could be an interesting curve-ball!

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
