Review of Water House

07 Jun 08, 15:03

Lovely for Breakfast 4*

On recommendation of my housemate, my boyfriend and I decided to wander down here for breakfast.

Despite being only 5 minutes walk from our flat, I would never have known it was here if I hadn't been told. Whilst that makes it lovely and secluded, it certainly can't be doing the owners (who also own Acorn House) any favours.

There was only one other couple dining, so we managed to get a lovely table outdoors overlooking Regent's Canal. Venice it ain't but it's still quite nice on a sunny day.

We just missed the breakfast menu but they were still serving brunch. Boyfriend went for Scrambled eggs, pancetta and mushroom served with toast whilst I went for Sausage, pancetta and potatoes served with toast. Very healthy ;) Both of us raved on the quality and taste of all ingredients although we were wondering about the alfalfa garnish. I think this balanced out my weekly dose of saturated fats perfectly, boyfriend wasn't so sure!

Our lovely serve of saturated fats were washed down with coffee, which according to the coffee expert (not me!) were reasonable.

A little on the expensive side for breakfast (nearing £20) but both of us were left feeling satisfied and eager to return to try their evening menu, or perhaps the breakfast menu, or perhaps the yummy burgers they do..

Best thing about where I live View of Canary Wharf + London skyline. Ridley Road Markets and lots of shops. It's only 15 minutes on a bike to my office. There is a canal nearby. The Oxfam Bookshop where all fiction is 59p!!!
Worst thing about where I live The skanky elevators. You can't leave anything outside without it being bolted down. The 243 being impossible to catch between 8:15am - 9am.
