On my last weekend in London before my free holiday it was sunny and warm, hooray! Lucky for us we had by chance arranged to have brunch at a new pop up restaurant in Maida Vale.
There are a lot of places that just pop up in London in the Summer months. I believe it’s to take advantage of the 'good' weather and people's desires to sit in the sun to eat/drink for hours or to eat ice cream which you wouldn’t dream of consuming for at least 9 months of the year! Nb/ there is a Gelato Mio opening near my house soon which claims to have a great vegemite ice cream- me thinks this will have to go on the List of something to try! Also I remembered the other night I have yet to put the consumption of traditional British Fish and Chips on the ‘List’ what a travesty!
Anyway back to brunch, the cafe was a branch of the Waterways restaurant and it was located on the edge of a beautiful canal that runs through little Venice. We had prime position table on the water’s edge to watch all the boats come past which was just delightful, this was the best bit of the meal.
The food was not really to be desired for, my friends pancakes were burnt and I must have had the smallest portion of yoghurt and granola that would be possible to charge £6 for. However I always love catching up with friends over brunch, I consider brunch one of my favourite catch up meal occasions as no one is in a hurray and people tend to be in really good moods (although on this particular day I had a cold so maybe I wasn't in the greatest of moods!).
Afterwards we took a stroll to check out Little Venice, the lake is beautiful and the houses that surround it are just HUGE. It really is a different posh part of London that one dreams about living in one day.
This is one area I am definitely keen to explore a little more!
Any areas of your home town that you have yet to discover?
