Great place to hang out with friends, nice selection of beer and wine. The buffalo wings are spicy and were a hit with the kids. Ask for the daily house hard soda! Wifi password: titchfield

Def one of the best brunch places in London. Eggs Hussard was great. The pancakes look and taste awesome. And it's flat down the best Bloody Mary I've had in London so far.

the small plates are really delicious and ideal for sharing! you should try the coctails before the meal. wine list is also very good and rich. even though service is a bit slow, it is worth the wait.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated. Burgerdict is good. Shakshoka is salty. Pancake fluffy and tasty. Don’t order coffee here “ انحش "

Highly recommend the place! For breakfast, the veggie plate is amazing, also the smoked salmon with scrambled eggs & buttermilk pancakes 👍👌

We had the eggs benedict and the buttermilk pancakes. The food was amazing and the service very quick. Best Sunday brunch I've had in a long time. Highly recommended ^_^
Diane DerrienOctober 28, 2017
As always, food and service was excellent. Quinoa porridge and shakshuka are two great breakfast options.

The have changed the name but kept the same quality and great food.. kinda crowded and loud on weekends mornings but worth the try
Merve AltıntaşAugust 13, 2016
Such a cool, cozy place eith delicious Egg royale, pancakes and flat white.
Thad HoskinsApril 20, 2018
Order the French toast for breakfast or dinner if they let you. That may have been the best french toast I have ever had. Clotted cream on it? Of course!

Amazing beef & bone marrow burger w/ liver parfait & truffle. Have it medium rare!!!¡¡¡

Everything seemed perfect. From decor to service and food ofc. Highly recommend, but try and make a reservation before visiting because you might wait in a queue.

Say "Yes!" to the cinnamon doughnuts! They are freshly baked, soft in the center and paired with thick chocolate and whip cream as an "optional side. "
Jimmy SwaggerFebruary 19, 2018
Really enjoyed the Burgerdict, just wish it was 2 rather than one with thinner patties on each so that it would be easier to cut and get a mouthful of all layers at once.

Went for dinner, good British cuisine, big portions, nice sides...although everything was a little over seasoned. Cool atmosphere, friendly staff, good for big groups.
Simon Kaastrup-OlsenSeptember 26, 2014
The pork belly is simply amazing. Don't get more than a portion of three per person, but ... Just so juicy (it's finger food!)
Dana DrummondJuly 29, 2014
The small plates are incredibly small! Make sure to order 5-6 per person if you are moderately hungry. Tuna carpaccio was tasty, pass on the artichoke. I left feeling unsatisfied with a hefty bill.

I love the place and bar seating experience, the place is so nice and beautiful. The have an amazing pan cake
Dan ENovember 13, 2019
Lots of delicious options, great for lunch, drinks, or dinner. Get some skewers and the truffle mac
Andy ThorntonAugust 15, 2013
One of the best eating spaces in London; open, light, diner-lounge style comfort. However the quirky decor & dishes aren't enough to save it from the average food and desperate housewife ambiance.
Alyce BargeryDecember 10, 2018
Coffee is delish, quinoa porridge was a great size - filling but not too much. A great option for a healthy breakfast. Service is excellent.
John SOctober 29, 2012
Fabulous drinks - Negroni (special brew). Burger and Lobster Lasagna are delicious as well everything else on the menu. Dessert - donuts & sundae were off the charts. Great staff.

Great ambience, sort of a cross between a NY diner and a rustic cafe - really works. Needed to book a table, even for breakfast on Saturday, but ending up at the bar was good fun.
Richard BennettOctober 1, 2011
Have the Eggs Benedict. The best ive had in the UK! (extra big mushrooms and streaky bacon sides if your famished) Follow up with a "kick you in the face" Bloody Mary (complete with a celery straw).
Jim RobertsonDecember 20, 2014
Chorizo hash is the best breakfast you will EVER eat.
Lorna McMullanAugust 14, 2014
Superb place for Breakfast. We were sat hidden away round the side on some comfy sofas with a coffee and some goregous bubble & squeak. Perfect start to the day.
Diane DerrienOctober 28, 2017
As always, excellent food and excellent service. Shakshuka was perfect, quinoa porridge as well.
Petra VaupoticOctober 19, 2014
Very trendy and bustling place, excellent for brunch! Don't get put off by the queue - it's worth it.
Abdulhakim SabrMay 4, 2016
Nice place to come with friends, I tried the French toast and Bankcake, it was very good and delicious.

If you do not belong to the coffee or tea addicts, go for the 'breakfast smoothie' to start the day great!

This brasserie has a busy breakfast trade. Breakfast diners are directed left towards the comfier of the two main dining areas, which has deep leather banquettes and is slightly more private. Read more

I don't get why everyone is so amazed by this place. It's pretty and the service is nice, but it's incredibly crowded. It takes forever to get your food and it's not even that delicious.
Abdul BamaNovember 2, 2015
You will like the butter milk pancakes. I also tried the Royal Benedict (salmon Benedict)
Christiana MakariouFebruary 24, 2014
great place with nice interior and atmosphere. i believe the food used to be better though! try the buttermilk pancakes!
Eman 🤍🇸🇦December 2, 2017

One of my favourite London spots. Great for brunch (get a bloody Mary!!). Also great for wines in the evening!
Natasha DiamondSeptember 13, 2014
Cocktails are strong but good, didn't eat but everyone else was and it looked amazing would definitely recommend. Great ambience/atmosphere too!
BarChickAugust 12, 2013
Finally, somewhere decent to escape the hectic hoards on Oxford Street. BarChick prefers it as an afternoon refuge away from the mad crowds. http://barchick.com/find-a-bar/london/the-riding-house-cafe

Food and service was great. I highly recommend the goat cheese appetizer and mac and cheese! Both were amazing

My cousin and I suffered norovirus from eating oysters here. RHC have handled this appallingly; they have not apologised/refunded me for the £200+ bill/confirmed what they have done to stop this!
Diane DerrienFebruary 1, 2016
Went here for both breakfast and diner, both atmosphere and food are splendid ! Don't forget to book a table - gets quite busy

Love the food, lots of healthy options, but they are funny about which tables you can sit at and the air con is always Ott. Wear your coat!
Christine DesillesNovember 29, 2014
Pancakes are awesome but big queue and service is slow. Red rum is awesome big kick !
DxbMMay 1, 2017
Sit at the bar to get the diner feel.. pan cakes are huge .. Benedict royale was great ..
Felicia YeungJune 16, 2014
The sweetcorn hash brown is absolutely incredible - personal favourite, especially if you add a bit of hollandaise on the side!
