Had a great brunch here with a friend in March 2019. When I arrived, she was already seated with a coffee, computer, and notebook getting some work done. That's definitely the vibe of this place--great for working, or for having a meal with buddies.
We tried the fried duck eggs and black pudding on toasted sourdough for £6.75 (me) and the eggs florentine for £8.00 (friend). Exchanging bites, we each loved our own and each other's orders. The eggs were fresh, the bread was crisped to perfection, and the accompaniments of hollandaise sauce and salmon for her, and black pudding and micro-greens for me were very tasty. We also ordered coffee, and I was happy to find the filter coffee £1.75 comes with free refills.
It was a lovely environment on a brisk March morning; warm inside and full of flowers heralding the arrival of spring. Service was friendly and attentive, and there seemed to be no pressure to move on after dining, since the space is configured as a place to work as well. If I lived closer, I'm sure I'd be at Parlez more often. read more
