Hearty English breakfast to kick the day off. Grab a window seat to watch the hustle and bustle of the city or a cozy corner inside for a quieter spot.Edit: great to be back after 2 years! Food is still fantastic and a great way to start off the day. Excellent choices in the menu for the smaller eaters through to the hungriest of all travellers. This is truly comfort food! Always looking forward to the next visit!

Just one of the best places to get english breakfast.Just delicious.The menu offers all kind of options, frugal, for the hungry ones, for the very hungry ones, for vegetarians even …Prices are very reasonable.The staff is friendly, service is quick, …What more can you ask for?There can‘t be much more than 30 seats. So at times, you might have to wait. But it is absolutely worth it.

Great atmosphere. Excellent service and best of all the FOOD. The traditional English breakfast was amazing. I ordered a side of Black Pudding. OMG… so delicious. The buttered toast with a cup of cappuccino was amazing. The staff was very attentive. Small family business that is beautiful. Clean and very welcoming. I would definitely recommend.Finally PRICE: Very affordable.
