The most exciting thing to hit the London brunch scene comes courtesy of Mayfair mainstay Aurelia. Known for their modern Mediterranean cuisine, chic atmosphere and excellent service, Aurelia’s new Champagne brunch elevates the classic British brunch to a gourmet standard. While they still offer the tried-and-true full English breakfast and always-in-style Sunday roast, some chic new offerings include tuna tartare with a raw quail’s egg and caviar, chickpea flour “chips” and that American brunch staple, omelets.
Guests can order a la carte or choose the £40 three-course set menu, which includes a bottomless glass of Champagne. And what would brunch be without Champagne? Arrive early and grab a seat at the bar while you wait for your table, a luxury not afforded at many London eateries. This is the perfect place for a first date, lunch with parents or for a mid-afternoon break from Christmas shopping.
The decidedly European bistro-style atmosphere makes it difficult to remember if you are in London, Marseille or Rome – something that will be much-appreciated after a long day of fighting holiday crowds.
