FOOD – THE BEST PLACES TO BRUNCH THIS WEEKEND

The sun has shown its face in London quite consistently as of late, and the beautiful weather is set to continue through the weekend. So what better way to soak up the sun than enjoying a light brunch, al fresco. Here are some of the best places in London for brunch in the sun.

LADUREE, COVENT GARDEN

Offering the most exquisite French cuisine, LaDuree is one of the most refined places you could visit. Classic French cooking paired with an incredible selection of traditional patisseries, served to you by French waiters. What’s more, when the sun is shining, you have the option of the upstairs balcony overlooking Covent Garden Square, or the larger downstairs terrace, both of which are ideal for the weather. We recommend the Club LaDuree sandwich or the Trio of Mini Burgers – too good not to try., Visit laduree.com

LE PONT DE LA TOUR PONT PLAGE, LONDON BRIDGE

Blissfully overlooking the Thames is the French pop up restaurant and bar, Pont Plage. With striped deck chairs, a cocktail list that features gin as its specialty, and a menu that bastes everything in the perfect amount of garlic, the Pont Plage is idyllic. Sitting on Shad Thames, you can practically touch Tower Bridge from the outdoor terrace – a beautiful location with beautiful food and drink, what more can you ask for?

ORRERY, MARYLEBONE

If you’re in the market for a delightful rooftop terrace brunch, this place has everything you’re looking for. Lined with lavender and olive trees, Orrery transports you to the South of France on a warm summer’s day. Beautiful French gastronomy and delicious wines await at the Orrery., Visit orrery-restaurant.co.uk

THE RIVER CAFE, THAMES WHARF

Tucked away from the bustle of Hammersmith, this Michelin starred Italian restaurant will not disappoint. Its contemporary decor and outdoor seating area are incredibly attractive, and the food is incredible. On a sunny day, the garden seating area is perfect for feeling totally immersed in nature.
