The Luxe, Spitalfields

As we have a week off and chosen to chill out in London we are trying to do some cultural visits and touristy things in areas where coincide with places we would like to eat. The eating so far has been the main attraction.

We decided to go have a little wander around the east end and Brick Lane way so we started off with breakfast at The Luxe to get our strength up. John Torode's latest venture has been open for a while now and has a similar set up to his most famous restaurant Smiths of Smithfield with different food offerings on each floor.

We just went to the ground floor where they serve breakfast and brunch and had great coffee in proper mugs. There menu is what you expect with fry up's, english muffins and some things I did not such as waffles.

We kept it simple I went for the scrambled eggs, slamon and bagel and the boyfriend went for the full fry which included the usuals plus black pudding, bubble and squeak and the most perfectly poached egg I have seen in a while. It all tasted great but I was pleasantly surprised by the large portions which set us up for the day ahead.
