Breakfast in London could be a majestic affair if you have the inclination and the right place to go to. For Londoners having breakfast outside on normal working days is rare as there is too little time for such indulgence. London breakfast is best enjoyed when you give sufficient time to relish it. It could really be a pleasant experience to have a breakfast with family and friends in many of the cafes and restaurants. It is also possible to try out breakfast recipes from other nations as well.

Chorizo folded eggs – Chorizo folded eggs placed on toasted sourdough with smoke bacon, cured bacon and Boston beans makes a hearty breakfast. Buttered spinach and salmon smoked in oak wood could also be taken as accompaniments. To begin you could have a fruit juiced or milkshake, while at the end a breakfast martini is mandatory. Such a breakfast would cost between £20 – 25.

7 inch bap – This should be had when you are really hungry.  A 7 inch burger is filled with Cumberland sausage, baked beans, back bacon, potato hash, Portobello mushroom and fried egg. This breakfast is certain to keep you full for the entire morning and even early afternoon. This dish could cost anything between £22 – 30.

French toast – For a quick breakfast while on the move, there is nothing to compare the simplicity of French toast. This toast variety served with maple syrup and streaky bacon keeps you agile and active. Hotels in Knightsbridge serve this item for breakfast.

Steak and eggs – This once again is a heavy breakfast that keeps you full. A 250gm rib eye steak is served with hash browns and a couple of fried eggs. An accompaniment of Bloody Mary goes well with this dish. In case you love to make it even heavier, a milkshake with cornflake and two bourbon slugs. You should be prepared to pay £30 for the item without milkshake.

Baked eggs with tomato – This breakfast item is not as simple as it appears. This dish would make you full for lengthy hours. Baked eggs with tomato pepper ragout are served with merguez sausage, and coffee would be the perfect beverage. Look for eateries that serve roasted coffee as the bitterness facilitates your eating. Your pocket pinch would be £17 – 20.

American burger – This typical American breakfast is loved by many Londoners for its simplicity and wholesomeness. The filling could be of beef, lamb, tuna, or chicken, and complemented with fried egg, cheese slice, and lettuce. Toppings could also be added as per choice. A mug of coffee is a must after an American burger. Prepare to part with £10 – 13.

Turkish eggs -  This Turkish item is made of two poached eggs whipped in hot chilli butter and placed in whipped yoghurt.  A couple of brown bread toasts goes best with the dipping. A chocolate caramel shake would complete your breakfast. For a more invigorating feeling, a daiquiri would be perfect. You would be required to  pay £22 -30 for a complete breakfast.

Bauernfruehstueck – This is a traditional Austrian breakfast prepared by stir frying bacon, eggs, onion and potatoes. In place of bacon, smoked salmon could also be served. This easy to prepare dish costs £12 – 15.

Summary -  When in London you should never miss an English breakfast complete with toast, eggs, bacon, and tea. There are multiple cafes and restaurants that serve authentic English breakfast in idyllic settings for a totalitarian feeling.
