When you ask someone about british kitchen there are few that will tell you that it is a great cuisine. But beneath Jamie Oliver there are quite great cooks in Great Britain and especially in London one can find marvelous tarts and mediterranean inspired dishes. This time I´ve been for breakfast at one of the Restaurants from Yotam Ottolenghi (hhttp://www.ottolenghi.co.uk/locations/islington/). Apart from having breakfast there till 11am one can have lunch there or simply buy the treats for taking away. The resaturant is modern styled but nonetheless very charming and relaxed. We ate there a delicious french toast made out of a brioche and served with fruit compote,
a very tasty granola, a variation of sweet spreads for our bread basket (the chocolate-hazelnut spread was heaven!) ..... The rest of the day we did´nt need anymore food :).

What a wonderful post! We spend several weeks in the spring and again in the fall in London as our daughter lives there. We will definitely check this out! I agree with you wholeheartedly regarding the British cuisine - each time we are in London and experience wonderful food I think about the common fallacy regarding British cuisine. thanks, Chris
...very funny as my daughter used also to live in London. If you try Ottolenghi you must tell me what you think about... I bought also one of his cookbooks and will try some of the things out of it. The recipes are all vegetarian but a sympathic mix of mediterranean, arab and european...
