Went for brunch on Saturday around 12 pm and this place was jam packed. Took us around 15 minutes to find a table. I ordered avocado toast with chilli and a hot chocolate. Both were yum!
Ratio decidendi: There aren’t many things that I’ve eaten in London which have blown my socks off but the savoury french toast was not only one of them – it was the very first. The addition of melted cheese to a soft base with just the right amount of chew is pure genius. Haven’t really tried much else on the menu – after trying the sweet french toast and being ‘disappointed’ (alas comparison is the death of happiness they say) I never dared to roll the dice again.
My point of residence here in London affords me easy access to three handy stations. That’s Victoria, Pimlico and Westminster. Despite that, I do find myself venturing further afield then sampling some of the local cuisine around here. Time Out London was so generous to label the area as “a gastronomic desert, riddled with soulless chains and not much else”. Which is not entirely untrue. Chalkboard menus, friendly staff and communal wooden tables immediately suggest Pimlico Fresh is different. I found a seat (it gets packed) and contemplated the options. I devoured the green eggs and bacon on toast option (for about £7). They go a little nuts on the cherry tomatoes but the plate is a very happy one. A good smush of avocado, perfectly fried eggs and bacon. With the right amount of runny yolk underneath a stream of pesto. The ratio of toppings to bread is very appealing. A little salt and pepper helped finish of the flavours and I was a satisfied local.
Had breakfast here, ordered the chicken pie and Spanish eggs. Soooo good! Good portion size, very tasty, nice coffee (bitter coffee), would definitely recommend.
One of my favourite local breakfast spots! Great coffee and plenty of great options. I've really been meaning to try the other great dishes on the menu, but I really can't tear myself away from the savoury french toast! Really, my only gripe is that they don't have a toilet for customers.
Hallelujah I've finally found a decent French toast in London! Stumbled on this place when killing time around Victoria station. Absolutely worth the 5min walk to escape the generic chain cafes in the station itself. Enjoyed a beautiful pulpy orange juice with the decadent French toast. Loving the generous amount of sauce and the hit of cinnamon. Worth the wait to order off the menu rather than the pre made window options. If it wasn't vetoed by a sign on the wall, would be a great place to sit working away on a laptop for a few hours, slowly getting through the many menu options. Great big tables to spread out at and friendly staff. Need to get back to try the chilli avo toast with vegemite
Probably the healthiest spot you'll find in the general area. I wouldn't come here specifically as its not fully healthy and doesn't have anything that stands out, but they do have healthy options and a hearty feel. Their almond milk matcha latte is decent (so they do have dairy alternatives), they have juices and smoothie, nice menu to order from and decent buffet. Communal table and one or two smaller ones to the side so it's cosy and casual, very much a quick stop.
Good place for quick healthy meals that are also delicious. I loved their juices and smoothies selection. The restaurant is also very cozy and with a great vibe.
Now I'm not one to usually have brunches but I was convinced by my friend to give it a try. I never could understand the fascination with this oddly timed meal suited to lazy weekends. Now that I've tried the eggs here, I think I understand a bit of the allure.
It doesn’t matter how trendy brunching is becoming in London, there still aren’t enough happy friendly cafes in London – there are those places that require a queue around the block (no thanks) or those that require you to book a few years in advance, but still there lacks the neighbourhood friendly cafe that serves up stonkingly good food and coffee.
Pimlico Fresh Cafe is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike, offering a delicious and varied menu of breakfast, lunch, and brunch dishes. I recently had the opportunity to try the cafe for myself, and I was very impressed.
For breakfast one morning whilst waiting for Tate Britain to open, I ordered the green eggs on avocado toast, which was absolutely delicious. The eggs were perfectly cooked and the pesto was rich and flavourful, the avocado was ripe and creamy, and the toast was perfectly toasted. The chili flakes added a nice kick of heat to the dish, and overall it was a very enjoyable meal.
The cafe also has a wide selection of other breakfast dishes, including pancakes, waffles, and omelettes. They also have a variety of lunch and brunch dishes, such as salads, sandwiches, and wraps.
Overall, I was very impressed with Pimlico Fresh Cafe. The food is delicious and well-prepared, and the service is friendly and attentive. The prices are also very reasonable. I would highly recommend Pimlico Fresh Cafe to anyone looking for a delicious and affordable meal in London.
One of the best French toasts we had in a very long time (and probably the best) - very friendly atmosphere and good service, and perfect brunch to start off the day. There are lots of different options to try and we would definitely want to come back for a second!
Absolutely my favorite restaurant. 😍Everything is so amazing. I would love to recommend to everyone. But I am going back to my country. I will miss it so much. 🥲
Huge portions at a reasonable price and very friendly host. Solo diners friendly and good for people watching. They also have limited outdoor seatings available.
Brunch with friends. Superb service and variety of food options.
Pimlico Breakfast deserves five stars.
Great coffee, highly recommended.
Enjoyed breakfast here while in London. Had the savory French toast and the toast with cream cheese, avocado, and salmon. Delicious.
First of all, the waiters and cashiers here are so unfailingly kind and nice. Both times I have been here that has been the case.
Also the food is fresh, delicious and has a home made touch to it.
Not crowded in the afternoon on weekdays, so perfect to come then !
Get in early for breakfast because they fill up fast! We had to wait about 15-20 minutes, and the owner squeezed us into a little side table. You place your order at the counter, and when ready, they bring it out to you. It seems to be a family run place, and they take a lot of pride in their food. We got a number of different things and were quite happy with it all. With the breakfast crowd they pull, lots of people must agree.
I was here with my son during our one-week-London-trip. It was a great start into the day. And especially a very good experience, because I normally eat sweet breakfast only. Thank you.
Delicious vegan avocado and salsa toast and mushroom toast. Hot chocolate with coconut milk was also amazing.
