As I'm sure my working friends will tell you, the phrases 'Monday morning' and 'dreading it' are generally known to go hand in hand. The scene is a familiar one: crowded tube, train and bus stations; delays due to signal failures; people rushing along pavements as they try desperately to reach their offices on time. I, however, currently have the luxury of avoiding such chaos, and so today went for a leisurely breakfast with a friend from college.
Tom's Kitchen in Cale Street is well-known for its breakfasts (and weekend brunches). Its menu comprises a raft of familiar and comforting dishes ranging from waffles to a full English. I decided to have the smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel, and was not disappointed: the portion was generous but not overly large, and the condiments the perfect accompaniment. As you can see below, the entire dish was very aesthetically pleasing!

My friend was - in her words - 'starving' and went for the brioche french toast with caramelised apples and cinnamon cream as well as a slice of brioche with maple syrup on the side! They were crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and very very yummy. Needless to say, she was one (very) happy bunny when we left the restaurant!

We had a lovely weekday breakfast and I would thoroughly recommend it. The atmosphere was great too: very relaxed, but the staff were pretty attentive.

If Cale Street is a little out of your way, fear not - there are Tom's Kitchens in Somerset House, St Katharine Docks and Canary Wharf.
