There are two ways of approaching weekend breakfasts, one, change up your dating pattern and substitute those boozy nights out with a breakfast date, or two, if your date went swimmingly the previous night, drag yourself and the person sleeping next to you out of bed for a breakfast treat!
I’m not sure if its just in my world, but going out for breakfast seems to be a massively increasing trend at the moment – and things have certainly moved on from the greasy fry up in your local cafe. Maybe my friends are getting slightly older (notice I’m not getting any older) and need the full works to handle the morning after the night before, or simply that living in London we’re fortunate enough to have some wonderful breakfast venues right on our doorstep. Either way, if you love to start you weekend with a hearty, carbo loaded fuelled brekkie, or are looking for fresh ways to entertain your date then please read on. Its time to ’shell’ out for some egg-cellent sausage and bacon at one of our 5 favourite breakfast dating venues. For ‘egg-ample’…
A popular place for the later risers. An impressive open brunch venue with high ceilings and bright white brick walls, with a huge menu ranging from oysters to the classic eggs benedict and a wine menu if a bloody mary just won’t cut it…?
There’s normally a queue out the door but don’t panic the queue moves rather sharpish. A wonderful choice of smoothie (by the jug load) and great a variety breakfast options. Pancakes are a must if you are heading to the Breakfast Club. Beware of the sugar rush!
Tucked down a laneway off Goodge Street in Fitzrovia serving a delightful, simple menu in a less hectic, more relaxed environment. Bacon sandwich and sourdough bread comes recommended.
So, ‘that’s all yolks’ if you have a favourite breakfast joint, please feel free to let us know and we will be sure to check it out. And, if kicking off the PJ’s and heading out for breakfast really isn’t your thing, then why not check out our other restaurant ideas.
















Vapiano on Great Portland Street is another excellent option especially if you like your Italian food fast and furious. Queue up canteen-style for authentic Italian cuisine in a well decorated restaurant where you can watch the chefs making fresh pasta throughout the day. There is no service in this restaurant so you can dictate your own pace whether you’re keeping it short and sweet or taking a long lunch. If you can manage the whole Oyster card concept, then you’ll love the mechanical like efficiency of the self service option.
Things seem to move so quickly at the moment and though it’s hard to keep up sometimes, we have to adapt and learn to compartmentalize our time. It’s all about proportions. How we divide up our free time is important and when it comes to dating, the more time – even that extra hour once a week during lunch can make all the difference.
