I'm visiting tomorrow and am going to the Spitalfields area. Where can I get breakfast? Something a bit classy preferably. Needs to be still serving breakfast at about 1030 - so ok, brunch really...thanks.

Konstam on the Kings cross Rd is the best but not that close to spitalfields. In spitlfields itself there is a branch of Leon which is also very good.

So you want brunch? ;-)

I guess it is brunch! And I should have put that in the question...
Has anyone had breakfast at Smith of Smithfields? It's a slight trek to Spitalfields I know - and I've heard conflicting views about it.

― Ned T.Rifle (nedtrifle), Thursday, 21 September 2006 14:23 (nineteen years ago)

Smiths is OK, but if you're going to trek there Konstam is the same distance away from spitalfields.

go to billingsgate market, buy oysters, eat oysters by the river

but don't eat your oyster card

Billingsgate is a long way off, in docklands.

four months pass...

Ok, same question but this time in the Chelsea area?

I went here...

I had a bacon sarnie, a smoothie and some porridge! They were all top.

Thanks Pete...lots to ponder there.

Anyone been to the Cock Tavern at Smithfield's?

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 13:56 (nineteen years ago)

I have, and it's great, in so far as it's is the repository for a substantial proportion for all the world's rejected formica. But I haven't been there for breakfast.

― Tim (Tim), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 14:02 (nineteen years ago)

Sadly I no longer trust Tim for top eating tips in that neighbourhood following the Golden Fish Bar affair.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 14:04 (nineteen years ago)

Marcello, what exactly was wrong with the golden fish bar, because I've never had anything other than fantastic fish and chips whenever I've been?

― Vicky (Vicky), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 14:12 (nineteen years ago)

Oh well.

Actually I've never eaten in the Cock Tavern at all, but I have drunk in there. I'm not sure you'd like it.

And the GFB was not good that night, sorry again. (xpost Vicky it was supergreasy, I dunno if they didn't have their oil up high enough but the food wasn't good.)

― Tim (Tim), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 14:14 (nineteen years ago)

I STILL TRUST YOU, TIM.

AGAINST MY BETTER JUDGEMENT.

To be fair, your better judgement is only "better" in comparison with the rest of your judgement. Experience suggests that that's a pretty low standard of judgement.

― Tim (Tim), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 16:57 (nineteen years ago)

SHUT IT, GREASER.
