Brunch worth (virtually) queuing for 🥯
🍃LEAF - Liverpool
Lighter option: Cinnamon Toast - Banana puree, pecan & oat crumble, vanilla mascarpone.
GIMME FOOD, I’M HUNGRY: Grilled sourdough - Smoked bacon jam, kale and field mushroom, gorgonzola, two poached eggs, pistachio dukkah.
Drink: Bloody Mary
Why? We’re a sucker for all things sweet, throw in a little sophistication with that pecan and oat crumble and ooo mama we are sold 🤪 If you’re looking for something more filling, we recommend Leaf’s famous grilled sourdough dishes.

🌸Farm girl
Lighter option: House granola - A nutty blend of oats, ginger, cardamon, pecans, almonds & hazelnuts served with natural greek yogurt & seasonal fresh fruit + coconut yoghurt.
FOOD PLS, LOTS OF IT: Island eggs - roasted torn sweet potato, avo feta whip, steamed greens, soy pickled shiitake & a poached egg sprinkled roasted hazelnuts with wholemeal sourdough.
Drink: Rose latte
Why? We believe breakfast should have a decent amount of crunch to it, and what way to get that than some crunchy, wholesome, nutty granola? Followed by a healthy dish of eggs and goodness named ‘Island eggs’ so we can really feel like we’re on our holibobs 🙃🌴
About: Bringing Melbourne’s vibrant brunch culture to London, The Farm Girl bridges the gap between speciality coffee and high quality and sustainable ingredients and dishes. Highly instagrammable and welcomes 👉🐶DOGS.

🍳Eggbreak
Lighter option: Baklava croissant
HUNGOVER & HANGRY: Green Shakshuka - Baked eggs, Mediterranean feta, za’atar, chermoula, challah bread with Lamb merguez sausage. And (because we can’t just pick one) their famous Nutella French Toast with Cornflakes and Mascarpone.
Drink: Green Goodness Ice Tea - Cold infused lemongrass & ginger tea, lemon, agave
Why? Would you abandon putting two of your all time favourite things together, in this case, croissants and baklava?! No, we thought not, an absolute must order for the table. Their green shakshuka is filling, comforting and wondrous all at the same time. Gobble that down while sipping on Eggbreak’s refreshing ice tea and you’re in for an absolute home run ⚾️

🍊Mo Diner
Lighter option: Mo Diner Potato Hash - steamed potatoes, spring onions. We’d also like the Parfait Parfait - greek yogurt, granola, honey & berries s'il vous plaît 😘
READY TO FEAST: Beldi Huevos Fritos - fried egg, duck confit, cumin, salt.
Drink: Lolypop Hardshake - strawberry, coconut, rum 🥥
Why? BECAUSE HAVE YOU EVEN JUST READ THE ABOVE?! But honestly, because we want to feel like we’ve just flown to the Med and slipped into our swimmers as we lavishly tuck in to this beautiful spread of flavours while getting a little bit tipsy on alcohol-disguised-milkshakes by 11am.
About: Next to Momo in Mayfair (and referred to as its “playful cousin”) Mo Diner takes the American diner concept on a spin through the Med - both with the look and the twist to all the food.

THIS IS MY LAST MEAL. GIVE IT TO ME BOSS: The Full Monty - Bacon, sausage, black pudding, home-style potatoes, creamy mushrooms, beans, tomato, eggs & toast.
Drink: Hot chocolate.
Why? Sometimes you wanna cut off all the faff ‘n frills and scrunch that white paper napkin into your jumper and tuck. In. There’s no better dish to do that with than a classic full monty, and no better place to do that than with our pals at The Brekky Club.
