Power Breakfasts
| THE CINNAMON CLUB The Old Westminster Library, Great Smith Street, SW1 (020 7222 2555). Breakfast Mon-Fri 7.30am-9.30am. Approx Ј20 per person. Perhaps due to the proximity of the Lords and Ladies of the Upper House (many of them have their offices just across the street) there is a full English on offer for power breakfasters. But in addition you can also have Bombay-spiced vegetables served with a cumin pao, a pukka kedgeree or spicy scrambled eggs. |
MENU AT THE CONNAUGHT The Connaught, 16 Carlos Place, W1 (020 7592 1222). Breakfast Mon-Fri 7am-10am, Sat & Sun 7.30am-10am. Approx Ј20 per person. Angela Hartnett’s Michelin-starred restaurant is already finding favour with the power breakfasters. The standard offering is a Continental breakfast well suited to eating during your meeting. More serious trenchers can call for a bagel with smoked salmon, and all in the grand setting of the Connaught. |
| THE GRAND DIVAN Simpsons-in-The-Strand, 100 Strand, WC2 (020 7836 9112). Breakfast Mon-Fri 7.15am-10.30am. Approx Ј17 per person. Not content with a mega fry-up entitled The Seven Deadly Sins, Simpsons pushes the envelope to offer the 10 Deadly Sins. If you like your power-brekkie a little less artery-threatening there’s also the Healthy Breakfast, which also works out cheaper. |
THE WOLSELEY 160 Piccadilly, W1 (020 7499 6996). Breakfast Mon-Fri 7am-11.30am, Sat & Sun 9am-11.30am. Approx Ј15 per person. The Wolseley is hot. Every morning this chic restaurant delights serried ranks of power breakfasters with Manx kippers, omelette complet and full English – there’s even the option of two boiled eggs with caviar (Ј18). The Wolseley is getting nearly as popular for breakfast as it is for lunch. |
