Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in West Molesey

"Known all over London for being the city’s loftiest restaurant and one of its very few 24-hour establishments, Duck and Waffle is a destination du jour for the most glamorous of hungry late-night partiers. Although it constantly buzzes throughout its regular hours of service, dishing out small plates of ox cheek doughnuts, foie gras crème brûlée and the like, its star dish – the eponymous duck and waffle – is what sets tongues wagging after 3am. A crispy, fatty confit duck leg, already decadent in and of itself, is served atop a freshly baked Belgian waffle, drenched in a mustard-maple syrup and then topped with a fried duck egg."

"The Duck and Waffle routinely makes it close to the top of ‘best London restaurant with a view’ lists, and for good reason. For one thing, it’s one of the only 24/hour London restaurants, meaning you can watch the sun rise from your table in Heron Tower if the mood takes you, chowing down on the famous duck and waffle that gave the restaurant its name, or any of the huge variety of both large and small plates that make up the only all day menu in London that is genuinely served all day (and night)."

"A sour, hesitant welcome by a pompous ground-floor doorman made for a bad start to my visit to Duck & Waffle on the 40th floor of the Heron Tower. Once in situ service is still somewhat inconsistent - I found it slow at times, over-attentive at others - but overall the vibe here is relaxed and informal. The destination is more moderately priced than Sushisamba below, the clientele more diverse and the offering more accessible."

"Restaurateurs Chris Corbin and Jeremy King opened this ambitious pillar of the London restaurant industry, a homage to Europe’s “grand cafés,” 18 years ago. It’s a spectacular room which has long set the standard for all-day dining in this city. It also borders on the theatrical; this is an experience that’s about more than the food."

"In 2003, restaurateur royales Corbin and King were steering The Ivy, Le Caprice and J Sheekey when they opened this homage to Europe’s “grand cafés”. 15 years on, the former trio are in the care of Caring while The Wolseley stands steadfast. Its breakfast is its most formidable offering, with a peerless omelette Arnold Bennett."

"Tucked away a couple of minutes from the station, Granger & Co’s King’s Cross branch brings a slice of Australian sunshine to the heart of London. Inside its chic, 1970s-inspired interiors customers are treated to a sumptuous menu, which offers favourites like poached eggs and avocado on sourdough toast alongside signature dishes. For those looking for a special start, the buckwheat bowl, complete with sunflower sprouts and goat’s milk, is a must-try."

"Restaurants Australian Notting Hill. This was the first UK outlet from Australian Bill Granger. Notting Hill has taken to this simply decorated, no-bookings eaterie with a passion – queues form at weekends for brunch, and even early in the week the tightly packed tables and stools along the bar are fully occupied."

"Granger and Co. make their ricotta hotcakes (that’s pancakes to you and I) thick and fluffy, with a texture as light as heavenly clouds. They’re served with banana and honeycomb butter, giving you just the right amount of sugary sweet energy to start your day. 📍 Various locations"

"This Trendy Treat has no less than 10 London Locations, as well as Breakfast Club goodness on offer in Brighton and Oxford. Whatever neighbourhood you’re staying or playing in, you’ll be sure to get some. Here are there addresses listed for convenient copying into Google Maps on your iPhone :"

"The clue’s in the title with this one; of course their pancakes are going to be outta this world. With five on the menu, choose from the veggie option, bacon or berries. They sound good but we’re going big on the All American with eggs, sausage, fried potatoes, bacon and maple syrup."

"Whether you like your pancakes sweet, savoury or even gluten free, Where the Pancakes Are has you covered. Using only carefully sourced, nutrient packed ingredients, we adore the selection fresh toppings available. Why not pair your pancake perfectly with a house juice, cocktail or coffee?"

"For every kind of pancake you could possibly imagine What to eat?. A ‘Dutch Baby’ (read on below to find out more … ). A London pancake restaurant that does what it says on the tin."

"Restaurants Contemporary European King’s Cross. This polished, all-day ‘grand café’ has a gigantic L-shaped terrace and a plum location on the pedestrianised bit between King’s Cross and St Pancras stations. There’s a year-round approach to alfresco dining too: the outdoor space is thoughtfully equipped with heaters, blankets and umbrellas."

"Restaurants British Kensal Green. Here’s the brunch drill at Parlour: show up and place your order, then hit the bread station where you can have free rein on yesterday’s loaves and slices: simply help yourself, choose toasted or plain and take your pick from the various jams and spreads on offer. Don’t carb-load too crazily or you’ll struggle to finish the ensuing brunch dishes, such as hash browns with eggs any style, ‘the banjo’ (fried egg and bacon bap with Oxford sauce) or the massive ‘(No Subs) Full Parlour Breakfast’."

"Created by world-renowned Peruvian Chef, Virgilio Martinez, Floral by Lima in Covent Garden is the younger sibling of Lima in Fitzrovia. As well as the dining, which sees the likes of stone bass hot ceviche with charred sweet potato and rococo tiger’s milk, mmm!.

"Sometimes a visit to such a quintessentially British town as Windsor causes a hankering for a meal that’s unapologetically not British (don’t ask us why). If that’s the case, you want to check out Bluegrass BBQ – an American restaurant committed to smoking meat properly. Open morning, noon and night, it’s a great spot for a calorific fix."

"Sometimes restaurants near Windsor Castle can come off as a bit uptight, but never fear because barbeque is here. Nestled beneath a chocolate brown wooden façade on the corner of Castle Hill and Market Street, it’s a little slice of the American South in the heart of England. The interior is all intimate booths and window-side seating."

"This stylish and modern Japanese restaurant is a great find. The sushi is technically spot-on, a mixture of classic and modern fusion options. The sashimi and noodle, rice and grilled dishes are also of high quality."

"In a nutshell: "Asian Grill and drinking house" in Bermondsey Where is it?. 171-173 Bermondsey St, Bermondsey, London SE1 3TQ Why should you care?. This takes over the space that until recently held Loyal Tavern, Inside is a new Asian grill - with a focus on skewers - as well as a tropical cocktail bar called Mala Madre."

"The Last Talisman is home to one of London's best brunches, putting an Asian-inspired twist on the classic weekend feast. Join them on a Saturday for unlimited cocktails and dishes such as the egg and bacon bao, nasi lemak with fried chicken or classic baked eggs."

"While their opening date might have been delayed due to lockdown, The Last Talisman have flung the doors wide open, and they're ready to serve you. Expect everything from world-class cocktails to a menu of skewers, snacks and sides."

"For drinks with a little more flare, Las Iguanas' vibrant decor and even more vivacious drinks menu is for you. Their experimental twists on much-loved cocktails and carefully curated list of beers and wines make this Latin American favourite a top pick of ours. And want makes Las Iguana's even better?"

"Walk through the doors of Las Iguanas and find yourself transported to Latin America, full of rich, vibrant colours, quirky features and custom-made wooden mosaic tables made especially for the restaurant from sustainable Brazilian woods."

"Italian-originating Said is the London offshoot of Rome’s oldest chocolate shop, but the gravity of such status doesn’t stop it from getting a little silly. Hot chocolate here transcends warm beverage to full-blown dessert – rich, thick, molten chocolate is spooned into cups so generously it often overflows. Cakes can be ordered here too, with the option of adding a dutiful drenching of hot milk, dark or white chocolate sauce."
