Cafe Anglais, NW9
Café and a half! 
Joanna N. says:
Now this is a café and a half – if you need a proper fry-up then this is the place to go! This family run café has been here a long time and used to be just one unit but was so popular they took over the shop/unit next door too. It is always busy and in the summer they sometimes have chairs and tables outside. The food is first class, very good quality, all freshly made and lots to offer on the menu. If there isn’t a set breakfast that you fancy on the menu, make your own up. They also have very good home made pies and custard if you have enough room left after your main meal. If you don’t fancy a fry up, I recommend the liver and bacon or omelette and chips but everything on their menu is really good and have always had perfect food served up every time and have been going there for over 10 years.
Casa Pepe, N2
Best Hangover Cure Going...

Having had a disappointing fry up experience at 'The Local Cafe' opposite, this cosy Spanish greasy spoon soon restored my faith in the fried breakfast. You can tailor your breakfast to your appetitory needs, including as many hash browns as you want, eggs, beans, sausages/bacon, mushrooms- and chips. All resting on four rounds of toast. The coffee is good, service prompt and even the boys were defeated by the sheer size of their fried offerings. An absolute must on a Sunday morning when you reek of cheap vodka.

Best Breakfasts in London, By Far!
Helen E. says:
What can I say about this place? Well, 'wow' pretty much covers it. I was totally blown away by their 'All American' Breakfast offerings. This is the best breakfast I have had in a very long time - scrap that, I think might actually be the best I have ever had!
I love American breakfasts but this had a dash of English flair. By that I mean it was cooked with English produce, and was much lighter and less greasy than the same breakfast in the USA (trust me I have been a few times).
The atmosphere is really cool, and where I was sitting I could see the chefs working. The American breakfast came with buttermilk pancakes and they too were the best that I have tasted. They offer such a great array of different breakies; from granola and yogurt to a full English - with everything American in the middle.
This is a real must if you are in the area, or if you like me and have made an almost 2 hour trek to get to it you won't be disappointed.
The Spence Cafe, N16
Yummmmmmmmmmm
Joelle M. says:
I always thought how cosy and inviting this little cafe looks, and figured it would have some pretty tasty fare since it's linked to the excellent Spence bakery opposite. And I was right. It's also dead friendly, and miles cheaper than I'd imagine such a nice place to be. In an ideal world all cafes would charge just £2 for a pot of Earl Grey and a heavenly homemade date scone. Even my somewhat hard to please mother in law was well impressed. It's just really really nice.
Now I just have to figure out how to become one of those lucky people I see sitting having a leisurely breakfast in there each weekday morning. Don't they have jobs to go to?
Smiths Of Smithfield, EC1M
Hearty English Food
Daniel B. says:
Smith's is more that just a restaurant, it's four. Well, it's actually three and one cafe / bar. The bar is great, it's always lively after work and offers a great selection of beers, while in the morning it's a great place for breakfast, something Smith's does particularly well.
The three restaurants are located on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors and according to the management increase in quality (and price) the further your willing to climb. Being a second cheapest bottle of wine man, I have only ever dined on the second floor, which is a sort of brasserie. Great ingredients used to simple effect. I would particularly recommend the pork belly with mash.
On a side note, Smith's is owned by the guy who does Master Chef Goes Large. Not the fat one with glasses, the other one.
