Pancake Day might not be until next week, but whether you’re craving stacks of piping hot pancakes smothered with maple syrup or smashed avocado on sourdough, there’s plenty to sink your teeth into in Greenwich.
Here are the borough’s top five brunch spots according to Tripadvisor.
Grind
Location: 17-19 Nelson Rd, Greenwich, SE10 9JB
Rating: 4 (206 reviews)
All bare-brick walls and Instagram-worthy tiled flooring, this popular coffee bar is as stylish as they come, and not just a pretty face.
From coconut yoghurt and house granola to breakfast burritos and buttermilk pancakes topped with maple syrup, Grind has brunch covered.
One TripAdvisor reviewer said: “Nice place to go for brunch on the weekend with nice interiors and a lovely garden.”
Champagne + Fromage
Location: 34 Church Street, Greenwich, SE10 9BL
Rating: 4.5 (215) For something a little different, head to this wine and cheese bar nestled on a corner next to Greenwich market.
Forget your smashed avocado and Bloody Marys, brunch at Champagne + Fromage is all about meat, cheese and bottles of bubbly.
One TripAdvisor reviewer said: “My wife and I have just had a lovely lunch. We highly recommend this restaurant!”
River Gardens Cafe
Location: 20 River Gardens Walk, Greenwich Peninsula, SE10 0FZ Rating: 4.5 (74 reviews)
As trendy as they come, River Gardens Cafe is a sprawling spot perched next to the Thames and a certified neighbourhood classic.
Towering glass windows fill the impeccably-designed space with light and at the head of the haunt you’ll find a beautiful wooden counter piled with tasty pastries.
Brunch staples include Eggs Benedict topped with prosciutto and the Mediterranean breakfast.
One TripAdvisor reviewer said: “River Gardens Cafe serves the best brunch in Greenwich. Great food, lovely dog and child friendly atmosphere, fantastic location and owners who really care about service and quality. Highly recommended.”
Heap’s Sausages
Location: 8 Nevada street, Greenwich, SE10 9JL
Rating: 4.5 (328 reviews)
Swinging by Heap’s Sausages and not finding a queue snaking out of this deli is practically unheard of.
A stone’s throw from the gates of Greenwich Park, Heap’s is a sweet-looking deli that packs a punch.
A proud purveyor of seasonal British produce, you’d be hard-pushed to find a better sausage roll in the capital, but Heap’s sausage bap and hamburger are just as mouth-watering.
One TripAdvisor reviewer said: “I was so very impressed with this lovely little deli! Top points from me. You must pay a visit if you are in Greenwich. There’s often a line outside for a reason.”
5. Avocado and Coffee
Location: 228-232 Trafalgar Road, East Greenwich, SE10 9ER
Rating: 4 (88 reviews)
Avocado and Coffee has a menu loaded with high-quality organic products and knocks up a range of tasty smoothies jam-packed with good stuff.
The mains at this range from poached egg on rarebit and stacks of pancakes to halloumi toasties and prawn omelettes.
One TripAdvisor reviewer said: “Great place for brunch. We come almost every Saturday and Wednesday and the staff are always super friendly and helpful no matter how busy it is.”
