"111 great russell street, London24-hour eating is not something we are really used to, I mean other than students, who fancies breakfast on the afternoon? well, if they are inferior, it is not a surprise really that london covers them. there are a few companies that are dotted around the capital that specializes in day-to-day all-night eating, a few of them with the name wq Vingt-Quatre) French, of course for 24. I watched a leader after london by gordon ramsay, which lists some great hidden gems. at the end of the video ramsay recommends a place on the fulham road, a filiale of wq, for one of the best breakfasts in the capital at any time they rob it. handy for a cook. after comparing the reviews of the various flilials of wq we settled at the Bloomsbury site next to the train station tottenham court road. on the way to the diner were the first impressions very positiw. the place looks smart, welcoming and nothing like a traditional greasy spoon – more of a slender Swedish place you can enjoy the similarities of ramsay its eier florentine and a cappuccino. it is hard to really recommend an acute or quiet time to avoid or arrive, as this place eats breakfast all day and serves lunch on the menu and dinner from the night menu. the place certainly does not lack the ambitious. the menus are extensive and even until afternoon tea between 3-6pm at very modest £4.50 $6 us). alcohol is served between 8am-2pm Thursday Saturday to 4pm and makes wq a decent option after a night out where they end in the capital. we were not after alcohol or lunch, we came to the breakfast. the waiting staff was friendly and gave us the selection of free tables. we chose the table next to the large front window for a view of london in movement while we enjoyed our eating. the menu is a large size with many tempting breakfast lovers. after much consulting we have been on eggs benedikt at £8.95 $11.94 us) and Belgian waffel at $6.95 $9.27 us. drinks here are crazy values for london. a macchiato and an orange juice were just £2 $2.66 us) each, the macchiato came in a small cup, but was really good quality for the price. the only light negatiw at this point was the attention of the staff, since the place had now filled with a large group and couples for a late breakfast or early lunch. the waitress gave me a possibility, sink or speck on my benedict, I just couldn't turn off bacon so it went! eating really came incredibly fast, but freshly cooked and beautifully presented. the egg on my plate was perfectly cooked with a casual egg yolk. the speck was not about crispy, which is always good and the hollandaise was decent. I would recommend it. the waffeln were sweet, but with something too much saw, although the fresh fruit formed for it. we sat with other people who then ranked in their selected courts, who looked all tempting and of decent size shares. after the decay of our breakfast, the bill was not a problem and also was not the price – £24.07 $32.01 us) overall, with which we were satisfied. has wq blown us away? not especially, but that said it is a place that serves its purpose – decent food at a decent price at a decent time. if you are after a long flight for an option late in the night or are self-catering in a nearby hotel, wq is an ideal way to begin your day. the egg benedikt that I was served the great size, but they can be a single egg with the hollandaise, sink / speck and muffin for £4.95 $6.60 us) if they are on a budget or not so hungry. opening hours: daily 24 hours tube: tottenham court road central, northern line)Website:"

"So there I am, on a beautiful warm Sunday, sitting at home by myself. Impossible. I decide that I need to go out ASAP and just do something. And what’s better than treating myself to a nice lunch. Yes, I’m one of those people that doesn’t mind eating by herself and, in fact, loves it. I started walking down Upper Street, without any clue as to where to sit down. The reason why I chose Blue Legume, was simply because of the open front seemed like exactly what I was looking for. Decided to go for an egg white omelette and the Spirulina smoothie. Omelette was light and exactly as it should be, but I think I was more grateful for the potatoes that came along with it very very well seasoned. I was, however, completely blown away by the smoothie love the fact that it was green, not too sweet and so refreshing. Wouldn’t mind having it on a daily basis. I finished all of that pretty quickly and since I didn’t want to just head back home, I had a second look at the menu and finally found another excuse to stay. Ordered the apple crumble and some coffee to get rid of the sleepiness that was about to hit me. Nothing out of the ordinary here, except the fact that the crumble, was clearly microwaved. Was initially disappointed, but somehow it didn’t ruin my experience. Staff was very nice and receptive, no issues there, and unlike most times when I go for a meal by myself, there were no awkward stares. I felt pretty comfortable and happy after the entire meal, and that’s why I was back 2 weeks later with a friend for more. Would happily visit over and over again."
