OK, if you're an American traveling in London and even remotely enjoy Panera Bread in the states,…read morelook no further than Pret for your breakfast and lunch! Seriously, your only cheaper option for a healthy bite is the grocery store but since you're in London now forget about your overpriced hotel breakfast and the express grocery and just hit the Pret. Here you can Pick 2 for a $4.99 lunch....sort of the same deal and price point Panera used to be at (many moons ago). Each Pret, and there are a ton around London, has a barista so you can get your caffeine fix here as well. So skip the hotel breakfast and save a ton here. Very, very highly recommend!

I like Pret A Manger for its convenience and decent food in a pinch. Their cafe drinks are usually…read morereally good as well. I didn't get any coffee or tea at this location, but grabbed a hot falafel and tomato wrap as well as a muesli cup. It was a good quick meal, as I was short on time. Though service was fine, there were a few cons. 1. The seating area could've been cleaner, it wasn't busy or crowded inside. 2. No bathrooms inside. A customer in front of me asked for the bathroom code and the cashier said there are no bathrooms. What? There is definitely seating for at least 40 people inside and there isn't a bathroom? Insanity!

This was a great place, we went for breakfast/brunch. It has a great atmosphere and quality food…read more It also has a great patio and view from the roof. The roof was too cold for us when we went though. To get to it you'll have to enter the antique store from the street, head straight past the front desk to the stairs, and go up 3 floors to get to it. There are signs for the restaurant on the way up and also a foldup sign was on the street when we went.

Let's hope it acts as a sort of a trendsetter. Soho House's new venture next to Rupert Street is both charming, and offers a moderately enticing fare. We tried the oysters and the lobster for starters. The lobster was cold, delicious, fresh, although difficult to crack because they didn't really do the work for you. :-( The lamb chops are excellent, cooked lightly with herbs, somewhat medium rare. To sum it up, Cafe Monico probably will never feature in a 'best of' list, but it works very well for what it's supposed to do. The location on Shaftesbury is ideal. It will serve as a great pre theatre venue, and while I might not go back for another meal, I'll surely recommend it to theatre goers.

We just popped in for a cocktail while we waited for a table in another restaurant. We were seated at the bar upstairs and it was a nice place to relax with friends. To me, it seemed like we were relaxing on the set of bugsy malone. The cocktails were a little pricey, but pretty decent. I'd be interested in coming back to try the food.

Pret rules the sandwich world!…read more You can't walk a block in central London without passing a Pret a Manger, but this location is the biggest and best we have seen! Too quality sanwiches for breakfast, lunch or dinner - fresh pastries for dessert or light snacks - a wide variety of drinks (including milk) - as well as salads! Dine in, or take away - either is quick and easy. The line moves quickly; I never had to wait more than one minute! We ate breakfast from here 5 days a week, and grabbed cookies or croissants often. Wish they were in the states!

Jim F wanted eggs for breakfast, not another dim sum. My Place for breakfast? Sure!…read more My Place is not very large, and reminds me of an old Soho pub or eatery, but updated with cool furnishings and local art. Seating is tight and cocktail table tops for 2 are used for 3. We didn't mind as it added to the fun, but it took some maneuvering to fit our 3 plates, coffees and condiments. The food is freshly made from scratch. Jim F liked his breakfast burger because it came with everything he was craving: Beef patty, fried egg, bacon and American cheese! Rick L enjoyed his Spinach & Avocado Omelette which came with a huge half avocado. My Eggs Benedict was very good too. It was tasty and perfectly poached. Luckily I was provided a sharp knife to cut the organic brown sourdough, or else it would've flown off the plate. Surprisingly my Latte came lukewarm. I guess I should've said something but it was pretty busy with a line of people waiting for seats. Service was fast and friendly. We will definitely be returning to My Place.
