Vq Bloomsbury

Very cute diner with a really friendly and professional staff and punctual service . The ambience is nice, the prices are reasonable and the staff is highly professional and friendly too. Highly recommended.

111A Great Russell Street, London24-hour dining isn’t something we’re really accustomed to, I mean other than students, who fancies breakfast in the afternoon? Well if you are in the minority it’s no surprise really that London has you covered. There are a few establishments dotted around the capital specialising in all-day-all-night dining, a few of them by the name of VQ (Vingt-Quatre) french of course for 24.I was watching a guide to London by Gordon Ramsay which listed some great hidden gems. At the very end of the video, Ramsay recommends a place on the Fulham Road, a branch of VQ, for one of the best breakfasts in the capital at any time you fancy it. Handy for a chef. After comparing reviews of the various outlets of VQ we settled on the Bloomsbury location just beside Tottenham Court Road station.On the approach to the diner the first impressions were very positive. The place looks smart, inviting and nothing like a traditional greasy spoon – more of a sleek, swish place you can picture the likes of Ramsay enjoying his Eggs Florentine and a cappuccino. It’s hard to really recommend a peak time or quiet time to avoid or arrive at as this place does breakfast all day and serves lunch on the day menu and dinner onwards from the night menu.The place certainly doesn’t lack ambition. The menu’s are extensive and even stretch to afternoon tea between 3-6pm at a very modest £4.50 ($6 US). Alcohol is served between 8am-2am (Thursday-Saturday until 4am) making VQ a tidy option after a night out wherever you happen to end up in the capital.We weren’t after booze or lunch, we came for the breakfast. The waiting staff were friendly and gave us the pick of the free tables. We chose the table right beside the large front window for a view of London in motion while we enjoyed our food. The menu is a great size with many tempting breakfast favourites. After much deliberation we settled on Egg’s Benedict at £8,95 ($11.94 US)  and Belgian Waffles at £6.95 ($9.27 US)..Drinks here are insane value for London. A Macchiato and an orange juice were just £2 ($2.66 US) each, the Macchiato did come in a small cup but was really good quality for the price. The only slight negative at this point was getting the attention of the staff as by now the place had filled up with a large group and couples out for a late breakfast or early lunch. The waitress gave me an option of ham or bacon on my Benedict, i just couldn’t turn down bacon so on it went! The food actually arrived incredibly quickly but cooked freshly and presented beautifully. The egg’s on my dish were cooked perfectly with a runny yolk. The bacon wasn’t over crispy which is always good and the hollandaise was decent. I’d recommend it.The Waffles were sweet but with a little too much cream although the fresh fruit made up for that. We sat watching other people ordering then diving into their chosen dishes, all of which looked tempting and of decent size portions. After finishing off our breakfast getting the bill wasn’t a problem and neither was the price – £24.07 ($32.01 US) overall which we were happy with.Did VQ blow us away? Not particularly but that said it is a place that serves its purpose – decent food at a decent price at a decent time. If you’re stuck for an option late at night after a long flight or if you’re self catering at a nearby hotel then VQ is an ideal way to start your day. The Egg’s Benedict that I had were the large size serving but you can have a single egg serving with the hollandaise, ham/bacon and muffin for £4.95 ($6.60 US) if you’re on a budget or not as hungry.Opening times: Daily 24 HoursNearest Tube: Tottenham Court Road (Central, Northern Line)Website:

Pleasantly surprised. When you think of 24/7 you don’t generally think of good quality food. Scrambled eggs and smoked salmon were really good. Table also ordered the eggs Benedict which was just as good. Service was great and coffee was great. Great location and a great place to visit.

A rather big 24 hour restaurant that I have probably walked passed a number of times and have never paid attention to it.

My friend chose the place and I followed (ha ha). It must have been down time when I was there as it was not that busy.

We got ordering and I felt like having breakfast (at dinner time as you do) so ordered smoked salmon, eggs, granary toast and avocado. I also got a mint tea.

My friend on the other hand got a burger and fries and also a butterscotch milkshake (I think) which he did not like so returned it.

Service was good but the food was ok. I guess there's not much more you could with salmon and eggs. My friend enjoyed his burger and fries, it's a shame about the milkshake. He said it tasted watery.

Overall, the restaurant is clean and in an ideal location of hungry at any hour.

VQ (formerly Vingt Quatre) has been an institution on the Fulham Road in Chelsea for 18 years, an awesome 24 hour restaurant, they've just opened a new site in Bloomsbury just off Tottenham Court Road. I first went to VQ at around 8am on New Years Day a couple of years ago, after having around an hours sleep from the night before, and since then I've been at least once a month since. Tuesday evening was the VQ Bloomsbury soft launch, which was basically a chance for the new staff to test the waters and practice on some guinea-pigs who would come back no matter how bad the first practice was. I took along a couple of colleagues on Launch #1, and some friends on the second launch night. Dan had the Super Burger, which is absolutely enormous, and

Disagree with the above!
Love both VQs and in all the years i have been going it has been delicious consistent food always!
when busy Service can sometimes be a bit slow but thats because its so popular!
:)

I had a really great experience there! My partner and I had breakfast. Because I was returning, we received 20% discount (I think every time you return there). The food was amazing! The coffee had options for decaffeinated ☕️ , which we prefer. Additionally, the staff is amazing, and the environment is lovely! I definitely recommended it, especially for those staying in the Zedwell hotel. 👌

Food and service are great. And the opening hours is the best for us after the opera. We’ve ordered omelette, ribs, chicken milanese, butter milk chicken with waffle, bolognese and some drinks. All of them are great especially the banana milkshake and berry-go-round. We, 4 adults and 1 child, visited on 2 Jun and we are from Hong Kong. 😊

The food was very good, cannot fault it. The staff are very friendly and always make you feel welcome. And if you are staying in the hotel next door you get a discount. I am very happy with my expirence :)

The breakfast was very tasty and the staff was really nice. Thank you to Doina for the great service. 👍🏻👏🏻

The fact that they stay open 24 hours is great in itself. Me and my friends went for the breakfast menu and I went for a veg breakfast. It was tasty and enjoyable it was on the slightly costly side however the quality was on point
