Bill Granger is a popular Australian Chef and his restaurants in London are extremely well received. He opened in Notting Hill where people queued no matter the weather for the delight that is breakfast / brunch. Seriously delicious. The Clerkenwell branch is a little off the beaten track which means you're less likely to experience the queues but it's every bit as good as the original. The dinner menus are also stunning - but it's breakfast you want to try here! There's a new Granger and Co even closer at Kings Cross but with the in flow of commuters it's not so relaxed as the other two.
