$15 prix fixe lunch special isn't that bad: includes sandwich or salad, cookie and a drink. You will pay that elsewhere in soho for lower quality 😊

Ask for berries if you don't want bacon with your Brioche French Toast! :)

The crispy pork belly on polenta is fantastic, as is the wine list and service. Great for lunch and catch ups.

severely over priced but the lemonade is superb

60 Thompson concierge Paul recommends the quiet weekday breakfast. The scrambled eggs in puff pastry are by far the best item on the menu.
