"Have you ever been to Waitrose bread section only to discover that they have a sensational selection of flavoured breads from a brand called 'Gail 's Bakery? ' Well I have, and you might be surprised to know that Gail 's is an actual place...and it 's a place that breakfast dreams are made of. It 's brunch menu is rather extraordinary, with dishes going beyond the usual full english or scrambled eggs, which I think makes it a great place to fill yourself up before a day of Oxford St shopping (which is exactly what I did . I had a Cappucino to start while I decided what I fancied from the unusual but appealing menu. With items such as freshly baked banana bread, pancakes, smoked mackerel and poached duck eggs, it 's no wonder I found it hard to choose. Alongside this they have a selection of freshly baked croissants and toast. There really is something for everyone. Eventually I settled on a dish called 'Shakshuka ' which is a pan of peppery-tomato sauce base with two eggs on top, baked in an oven. The yolks were soft, the sauce was thick and flavoursome and the fresh bread that it came with was clearly baked just that morning in the adjoining bakery. It was to die for. They also recommended I get a side of bacon, and I was sceptical at first but pleasantly surprised when it arrived. I normally find bacon is never cooked how I like it when I eat out. It 's either too crispy or very watery and ham-like. This bacon was a perfect balance between the two. It was grilled on a proper grill and the bacon was thick and meaty. It was good bacon, from a farm as opposed to bulk-bought bacon that was defrosted the night before. A truly brilliant breakfast experience, you 'll have to try for yourself. I had a successful day 's shopping and I put it all down to breakfast! : Read more reviews on [hidden link]"
