How do you like your eggs in the morning? To a breathtaking view of London? On the 40th floor of 110 Bishopsgate, Duck & Waffle offers traditional British cuisine with European influences, 24 hours a day.

With 20 years of experience in the coffee industry, The Haberdashery knows what its doing. Their string of awards including ‘best caffeine fix’ in London proves it. It’s the go-to for those who love good, local food in an eclectic, mismatched setting with a community vibe. Items include ‘hearty breakfast’ offerings from full English to veggie – or if you’re famished, the Hedonist which is both. Don’t forget to pop over to their sister restaurant in Stoke Newington.

Inside a grade II-listed building that once served as a grain store, the room echoes its history. Think industrial-style décor with an open-plan kitchen and coffee roastery. The menu boasts baked goods, fruits and cereals as well as unique offerings. We think the coconut bread with lemon curd cream cheese and poached rhubarb sounds delicious.

Welcome to the ‘exploded kitchen’, an interior feast of kitchen-clash-dining-room etiquette. Celebrated chef Bruno Loubet serves an equally eclectic menu. And a good range; from American pancakes to beetroot burgers. The large terrace at the front is a real winner in fair weather.

Berber & Q’s menu combines flavour from the Middle East, North Africa and Ottoman with Western cooking techniques. So their brunch menu is seriously special. Offerings include sharers of The Full Israeli – with pumpkin chirchi, honeyed feta and Israeli salad. Or the meaty Mangal breakfast with Lamb bacon chops, pork merguez, lamb kidneys and roasted bone marrow, amongst many other things.

There aren’t many places you can find a fish finger sandwich on the brunch menu. Perhaps it’s to do with the seriously family-friendly vibe of the caffs in both Hampstead and Belsize Park. Both combine the best bits of greasy spoon classics with Antipodean charm. Come here for great coffee and simple, honest food with a Ginger & White makeover.
