We recently had the opportunity to visit Old Queen Street Cafe to try out their weekend brunch menu, located a few minutes from Westminster Abbey. Inside the Old Queen Street Cafe is charming and cosy, with a touch of vintage elegance. It has a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes it an ideal spot to enjoy a leisurely meal.

I opted for the Veggie Breakfast, which was a delightful surprise! The poached eggs were cooked to perfection, accompanying the poached eggs were grilled tomatoes, sautéed mushrooms, and grilled halloumi cheese. The mushrooms added a savoury earthiness and the tomatoes provided a burst of freshness. Overall, the veggie breakfast was a delicious and satisfying choice.

My guest opted for Fish and Chips, a classic British dish that I couldn’t resist trying. The fish was tender and flaky, enveloped in a light and crispy batter that had a beautiful golden colour. The chips were wonderfully crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Accompanying the dish was a side of mushy peas, which added a lovely contrast of texture and a hint of sweetness. The portion size was generous, ensuring that we left the cafe feeling satisfied.

To finish off we shared the Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream, a very rich, creamy and smooth dessert, the perfect dish to end our meal.

Overall, our experience at the Old Queen Cafe was delightful, the food was delicious and the cafe’s welcoming ambience and attentive service added to the overall enjoyment of the meal. If you’re in London and looking for a charming cafe with great British dishes to choose from, check out the Old Queen Street Cafe, it’s worth a visit.
