Best Breakfast Restaurants in Stockwell

The food and drinks at this restaurant are delicious. You are going to pay accordingly, but expect to have a solid meal and very good drinks. The atmosphere is beautiful — the restaurant is well decorated. It’s not too loud and not too crowded, which makes it feel pretty posh. However, we had a very odd experience with our server Nelson. He didn’t even say hello or good evening when we arrived and he just raised his eyebrows and said “yes please” when he took his notebook out to order. While I am all for efficiencies (I used to be a server and a bartender for 3 years), part of the hospitality business is…hospitality. This man expressed no smile, no emotion, and no sense of humanness. It was so weird. One of the ladies who appeared to be a manager came over to take our dessert order and she was very friendly, but we couldn’t understand why Nelson was so extremely cold. It appeared that this was his demeanor towards other tables as well. We arrived 5 mins early, didn’t take long to order drinks and food, and didn’t linger. What was his issue? We will never know. We will definitely be back to the Ivy, but will request to not have him as a server.

Excellent as always. Starter, main course and drinks for £80. Faultless service, delicious food and - by restaurant standards - a reasonable price.

The food is always excellent, I love the porridge, soaked overnight! And Khan, he is just the best at welcome, serving, helping customers feel at home - he is superb!

Today, my friend and I had a wonderful experience at The Ivy Victoria Brasserie. We had lunch from the special offer 1917 menu. The food was delicious and perfectly cooked - so fresh and beautifully presented. The service was excellent, both on arrival and throughout the meal. Our delightful waitress, Ahlam, deserves a special mention for looking after us so attentively. She was very courteous, friendly and most helpful - nothing was too much trouble. Furthermore, we were allowed to occupy our table for way beyond the allocated time. My friend and I greatly appreciated this, so much so that we will be booking to return in a couple of weeks :-) Thank you, Ahlam!

Delicious food which tastes and looks fantastic! I particularly loved the French toast. Customer service is exceptional and the decor is stunning. A fantastic day out with friends and family! I highly recommend if you are looking for to do brunch with friends. The portions were huge so it’s definitely value for money. There’s a mini version as well if you prefer a smaller plate.
