Close to Theatreland in the heart of Covent Garden, Balthazar is the London version of a New York institution which is, in turn, an interpretation of a French bistro /brasserie! Breakfast at Balthazar isn’t the cheapest you’ll find but chef Robert Reid has created an interesting, mouth-watering breakfast menu including the classic full English with a veggie alternative, homemade granola, waffles, eggs of all types including Benedict, Florentine and Royale as well as delicious teas, coffees, juices and smoothies.
Master baker Jon Rolfe’s bread is a ‘must try’ and the décor is somewhat grandiose with red leather banquettes, antique mirrored walls and mosaic floors but it’s a great place for breakfast in London.
