The tastiest breakfasts around Hyde Park

Breakfast is the meal of champions and the ideal way to start a big day in London. Back home, you may have to eat a sensible and nutritious breakfast, but whether you’re on holiday or a business trip, being away from home means that all bets are off. If you want bacon, sausages, baked beans, toast and mushrooms all on one plate, you can do just that, because this is London!

Here’s your guide to the tastiest breakfasts you can enjoy at restaurants in Hyde Park:

Raison D'etre
Breakfast is a raison d’etre for many of us, so it’s no surprise that there’s an excellent cafe in Kensington called that. A classy establishment with a focus - unsurprisingly - on French breakfast food, with croissants, pain au chocolat and pain aux raisins as well as scrambled eggs, natural Greek yoghurts and avocado on toasted sourdough baguettes.

Caffe Forum
An Italian-theme cafe (or caffe) that offers a range of continental breakfast options and the good old-fashioned full English, this is a good safe option for anyone looking for breakfast in the Hyde Park area.

Ffiona’s
A delightfully cosy British restaurant in Kensington, Ffiona’s has been a London establishment for over two decades, specialising in British produce. They are renowned for their fish and chips and evening meals, but it’s also a wonderful place for brunch, including the famous Breakfast of Champions, which is an 8oz thick cut Scottish sirloin steak topped with two free range fried eggs.

Kioskafé
If you’re looking breakfast around Paddington, Kioskafé offers a unique print-on-demand service where you can pre-order a newspaper from around the world to read while enjoying a tasty continental breakfast. It’s the future, even if it’s set in a very traditional French-style kiosk that feels a world away from the middle of London.

The Brompton Cafe and Bookshop
A unique setting just outside of Hyde Park, in the crypt of a historic church in Knightsbridge, the Brompton Cafe and Bookshop is as relaxing and serene as it sounds. The food is definitely on the healthier side of the breakfast, particularly the popular smashed avocado with feta, chilli and pine nuts on wood-fired sourdough.

Harvey Nichols Fifth Floor
If you want to truly eat breakfast in style, the classy fifth floor restaurant at Harvey Nicks is your chance to really sample a celebrity lifestyle. In the summertime, there’s even an outdoor terrace for truly decadent breakfasting as you gaze out across the city while dining on eggs royale, melted cheese brioche toasties and buttermilk pancakes.

Serpentine Bar & Kitchen
For breakfast literally inside Hyde Park, the Serpentine Bar & Kitchen offers a delicious brunch served up in stylish surroundings on the edge of the Serpentine in the heart of the park. They offer a full English breakfast along with healthier options like porridge and in nice weather you can sit outside to really enjoy the peace and serenity that you just won’t find anywhere else apart from one of the restaurants in Hyde Park.

A hotel breakfast
Of course, if you’re staying in one of the hotels in Hyde Park, you can always enjoy a tasty breakfast without stepping out of the front door after your good night’s sleep. From the classic full English breakfast to the continental alternatives, a hotel breakfast can always be relied upon to hit the spot.
