Hunting for a good brekkie...

jonsta84

Any recommendations for a great place for a breakfast, fried or otherwise? I've only been to the Rainbow Cafe so far....

Anywhere do a good vegetarian fried brekkie?

Many thanks!!

Arsenal Cafe on Blackstock Road. I went there this morning.

Front Room does great veggie breakfasts

Arianna's does a veggie fry-up. It's a bit economy (frozen hash browns, cheapo tinned beans) but definitely edible. The coffee is better than Front Room's.

I haven't been there in a while. The last couple of times their wi-fi was down, and that was my only reason for going there.

The staff are so nice in Molens I never go anywhere else. The food i've had has always been top notch too.

<a href="http://www.cafelemon.co.uk/">Cafe Lemon</a> on Green Lanes does <a href="http://londonreviewofbreakfasts.blogspot.com/2007/04/caf-lemon-harringay.html">a great veggie fry</a>

Am still mourning the Pick More Daisies veggie breakfast...so sad. Second the front room, plus Mari and Monti also do a pretty good breakfast. Over the hill, try the World Cafe on the Crouch End bit of Crouch Hill.

Mari & Monti do quite a good omelette and chips. Again, good with a lemonade for hangovers.

Is there really such a thing as a good veggie fry-up?

If Mari & Monti just wandered over the road and bought their sausages/bacon from the butcher instead of the cheap crap they serve ... they would be a breakfast beacon of light!

Sadly it's all cheap ingredients ... and so I'd rather eat cheap ingredients and pay cheap prices at Sunshine.

I need a bacon buttie.

It must have good quality bacon with no fat, in crusty brown (preferably granary) bread and authentic HP sauce. A semi-runny fried egg would be a most welcome bonus. I can think of nowhere in SG or CE that can fulfill my piggy desires.

Any suggestions?

Erm, cook it yourself?

Sorry, I'll be more helpful:

Take 10 rashers of streaky bacon, rindless, and grill on a flat tray until golden. Once bacon is grilling, warm a small frying pan, then drizzle a few drops of oil and a small teaspoon of butter. Be careful not to get pan too hot, otherwise egg will splatter and burn. Crack egg as close as possible to base of pan and slowly empty shell.

Place bacon on crusty brown bread or bap, then egg onto bacon, and add HP sauce as required. Do not place other slice of bread or bap on until ready to eat, then place on top and break yolk.

Serves 2

Two people sharing an egg and bacon butty?

Mucky.

Mr Sax: I know perfectly well how to cook. A bacon buttie I can cook hungover with one arm tied behind my back. However, if I'm out and about and I feel the need for pig I'm a little stuck. I tend not to carry around with me a primus stove and all the ingredients, just on the off-chance.

What I'm looking for is someone offering the service of preparing for me a quality bacon buttie and then selling it to me for a reasonable price. As I said, there is nowhere in SG or CE that I know of who is able to offer such a service.

David

For a standard reference, do you know of such a service in London?

poxy

Yup. The caff in Great Portland Street tube station.

Anyway. Can I recommend the breakfast at Garufa, doesn't do the mythical great bacon buttie, but does do a fine 150g steak, along with the full English/Argentinian

We go to _Mari e Monti_ - it's decent but more importantly it's close. Also, we recently spotted a place on Blackstock Road called _Maria e Munti_. Cheeky!
