Pimm's Cocktails and Brunch at Eggbreak in Notting Hill, London

The day couldn’t have had a better start than at Eggbreak, one of the best breakfast spots in West London, where I was invited to review their new Pimm’s Brunch Series.

Eggbreak is an all-day neighbourhood restaurant and cafè located on Uxbridge Road, aka one of the prettiest streets in London, just minutes away from Notting Hill Gate station.

Just in time for the hot season, Eggbreak launched a bespoke Pimm’s menu.

As part of the Pimm’s Brunch Series, a number of top brunch destinations in London are offering a bespoke Pimm’s menu and Eggbreak is one of them.

We chose the Pimm’s and Proper cocktails, which are made with Pimm’s No.1, Gordon’s London Dry Gin and Tonic water.

British egg producers must be one of the chief beneficiaries of this change of nutritional heart, and I scoff a couple of eggs for brekkie two or three times a week these days – the 90 second masala omelette makes a cracking start to the day (boom boom).

With variations of the aforementioned smashed avo and poached eggs, waffles, egg pots with chia seeds, almond milk, pomegranate etc., French toast, and blinged-up versions of the classic sausage and bacon butties.

Consequently, our plates of corn cakes with poached eggs and sriracha hollandaise, and French toast with bananas and blueberry, arrived before the asked-for pot of tea, cup of coffee and green smoothie.

I’d have liked to be able to sip leisurely on my (£6 bought-in) green smoothie and breakfast tea before I tucked into my plate of eggs; however, one taste of my egg, hollandaise, and corn cake combo improved my mood.

The crunchy French toast, a dish that has appeared in more Instagram snaps than I’ve had hot brunches, did exactly what it said on the tin, but was far too sweet for my savoury tastes.

REVIEW: EGG BREAK

Egg p}(‘0.6(” Break opened in Notting Hill at the beginning of the month, a co-lab between Ennismore, the peeps behind The Hoxton and Soho House.

The laid back little joint is located just around the corner from Notting Hill tube station on a quiet residential street.

Inside it’s pretty simple and light, but it’s the menu that makes it worthy of a trip.

Themed all around eggs (yep the clue really is in the name) there’s a good selection that ranges from pure filthy to healthy and light – hey this is Notting Hill people, they don’t all want deep fried and dirty!

Of the lot we LOVED the Fried Chicken and Egg bap with green tomato, red onion and mayo; the bacon and kale bap; the crispy polenta, mushroom ragu and fried egg; and the deep fried cabbage.

Egg Break, Notting Hill, London: restaurant review - olive magazine

The people behind Soho House and The Hoxton Hotel Group together have opened a cute egg-based café on a residential street in Notting Hill (7am-6pm, Wednesday to Sunday) Split into basics (eggs on toast, egg benedict etc), buns, plates, salads and sides, the most dishes at this daytime café come with an egg of some sort, be it poached, fried or – surely the most fashionable egg of the moment – 63 degrees: cooked slowly in a waterbath at, you guessed it 63 degrees.

Fillings range from pork belly, fried egg and sriracha to fried chicken, green tomato, red onion and mayo.

Each one is enough on its own for a satisfying brunch or lunch but we also split a side of fried hispi cabbage with a rich umami dressing of anchovy aïoli and parmesan, and a plate of faro dressed with sorrel pesto which came with avocado, feta and beetroot topped with a quivery, slow-cooked egg.

If it’s half as good as the carbonara eggs served at Soho House group’s Pizza East, next time we’ve got to try the spaghetti carbonara with a poached egg and pork belly.

Cheerful waiters and an expertly made Clover Club cocktail – gin, lemon and homemade raspberry syrup made deliciously frothy with egg white.

Tandoor Chop House, London: restaurant review | Jay Rayner | Life ...

Tandoor Chop House, 8 Adelaide Street, London WC2N 4HZ (020 3096 0359).

Meal for two, including drinks and service: £110 High up the wall at the Tandoor Chop House, just off London’s Strand, is a place where the newly installed wood panelling gives way to the original breeze blocks.

Alternatively it’s a pragmatic approach to the realities of the restaurant business: that in all likelihood this place, built around food cooked in tandoor ovens, will be gone in a couple of years, to be replaced by a Portuguese peri peri grill house or a Hawaiian tiki bar or whatever new trend Instagram deems suitably hot.

I’m certainly not sure the Tandoor Chop House is a great advertisement for the approach.

The seekh kebab of minced spiced lamb at the Tandoor Chop House is a more than passable example.
