Daylesford Organic Farmshop And Cafe, Marylebone

Very Nice place for lunch. The space is clear, clean and chill. You have a lot of light when it's sunny and you can have lunch for 2 outside!
There is no reservation but it's fine if you come early (we came at 11 for brunch on Saturday). If you want real lunch it begins at 12. We had breakfast, desserts and drinks.
The breakfast was really good: scrambled eggs and bread perfect, eggs benedict with ham, and pancakes wonderful (but quite small only 2).
The desserts were delicious!! Have a try there are amazing (the bread with marmalade and the cacao cookie). We didn't expect that much from the desserts.
The drinks (latte cinnamon and espresso) were simply reallyyyy good. I am a huge fan of espresso and I can say this one has a great taste.
Moreover, after your lunch you can have a look at their grocery which offers amazing food as well.
It's a heaven of great food for me haha
Finally the bill is fine for organic, fresh and quality products!! We were 3 and we were all happy with our brunch.

Excellent fresh healthy!!!
Try the super green eggs Benedict!!
Very good for breakfast and a great deli counter!
Very pleasant staff.....

From the iconic Daylesford farm down in Gloucestershire comes the lovely Daylesford Organic cafe and restaurant in Marylebone. Perfectly suited to the Marylebone crowd, Daylesford is nestled between boutique home and clothing shops, well-known restaurants The Natural Kitchen and Le Pain Quotidian and numerous bars and pubs. Lucky for Daylesford then that the trend for healthful food has moved from the reserve of the 'tree-huggers' and into the luxury, effortlessly assuming them high price points and excellent quality food.

But hey, that all seems rather negative doesn't it? I visited Daylesford farm earlier this year and was struck be several things. Firstly how damn expensive everything was, from the carrots to the whole beef joints roasted to perfection, and secondly how damn delicious everything was. Yes, we pay for quality and when you're getting the best quality raw ingredients and hence the best quality meals, you quite rightly should be looking at a higher price point. Right?

As the name suggests Daylesford Organic produce is all organic and excellently farmed to the highest standards. The restaurant in Marylebone has a film on loop that display's the farms incredible work and the little shop boasts a selection of their produce. The food is beautifully presented in a modern way and the marble detailing throughout gives a truly luxe feel. That said (and all of my above comment said), we never once felt intimidated or unwelcome at Daylesford. Perhaps this is because I was visiting as press, but for me the restaurant has a homely and comforting feel. The staff throughout are incredibly sweet and polite, with an indepth knowledge of the menu and accompanying wines. The manager Anna even treated me to a tour of the shop, showing me each of their best sellers and the story behind each cheese. Now that was a winning touch.

We began our lovely meal with chic salads - haha, I hear you say. The beef carpaccio was littered with a rich shredded cheese and lemon peel, whilst the broad beans and bitter leaves helped to balance the dish. The warm scotch egg salad with Iberco ham was also very tasty with salty and fatty notes from the ham. Sadly the scotch egg wasn't dripping with yolky goodness, but there you go.

For mains I chose the special of stone bass with heritage tomatoes. Don't be fooled that is literally what you get; fish and tomatoes. That said it is very tasty with sweetness coming from the fish and the tomatoes. Married with a side of boiled new potatoes this made a healthy and tasty meal. The steak, however, stole the show. This big hunk of meat was perfectly, I mean perfectly, cooked rare without blood pouring across the plate, and decorated with charring marks from the grill. To this we added potatoes wedges which were fine.

We ended our meal with dessert - ground breaking I know. I opted for the strawberry trifle which was incredibly reminiscent of childhood but clearly not made from packets. The sweet-as strawberries gave the majority of flavour but the custard was also good. The NEMESIS cake was almost unbearable; chocolate to the extreme is how it was described and this is quite accurate. Though we struggled to finish the pudding, we did so like that fat kid off-of Matilda; in the end we were feeling sick but very happy.

Overall, yes I would recommend visiting Daylesford Marylebone. Go for supper on a week night for a family-esque experience and enjoy the delights of the open kitchen - no swearing or shouting here!

Great place for a coffee with lots of fine organic bakery selection. The wine here is fairly priced for organic rose and well worth trying .

A great place! Organic, sustainable and delicious! :-)

Green eggs Benedict was amazing, best I can remember in fact. Funny enough I thought the breakfast tea was great as well, but sure what brand they use. Everything is from their own farm which is best. Cute place with food service and OK prices (for London). Stop for brunch in if you're in the area.

Organic safe harbor. Service was good, very fast. I recommend the organic carrot muffin and everything else on the menu. I would agree with some reviews the place could be a little more comfortable (aim at the benches at the back) because the seats are low and hard. Excellent selection of groceries, ideal for gifts (especially if you want organic only).

Lovely place for a organic cold pressed juice or lunch if you are in the area.
