It was a Sunday morning and it was time for breakfast. But with the Delaunay breaking my bank the other day, I decided to stay away from bloggers' suggestions and instead depended on my robot partner Siri. First on her list was an Australian place called Granger & Co. in Notting Hill but it was an hour wait. With not time to waste, I asked again and Siri recommended the Breakfast Club in Oxford Circus. Alas, it was another one hour wait! For the third and final attempt, Siri recommended the Riding House Cafe just a few minutes walk from the Breakfast Club.
At 9.20am, there was no queue which means my friend Jacques and I were seated immediately. Its morning breakfast menu was charming with all the usual suspects but I could not go past the first item I saw on the menu, the Chorizo Hash Browns for £10.
Crisp on top and soft on the inside, the Hash Brown infused with Chorizo flavours was every bit amazing. Each mouthful comes with a whiff smokey paprika hit. In certain parts you have slices of Chorizo which gave the dish a meaty bite. To finish was some simply garnished spinach leaves, poached eggs and a large mushroom. Definitely no complains from me.
After all meat we had yesterday Jacques have something light and went for the Bircher Muesli (£4.50).
While I could not make much out of it. I knew he enjoyed it very much. But that was probably because he was scared of all the eating I made him do the day before haha. Nonetheless, the lush berry topping and sticky muesli looked promising!
The Riding House Cafe was a surprise candidate during my trip to London, and it served me a sensational brunch. Not to mention a rather cheap one too! Including tea, I think the bill came up to £20 for two of us which was rather cheap compared to my meal at the Delaunay the day before. Jacques thought the same too! He commented that compared to the Delaunay, the Riding Horse Cafe was a place he would return to over and over again.
P/S: When I was leaving at 10.45am, there was a small queue outside. But it was nothing compared to the Breakfast Club and Granger & Co. I went to earlier!
