5 /5 Guilin Chen: An Absolute Gem – One of the Best Brunch in London!
During my parents’ visit to the UK for my graduation, we stumbled upon this charming little spot while exploring London—and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip! Without a doubt, this place serves one of the top 5 English brunches I’ve ever had.
What makes it so special? The magic lies in its simplicity. No overpowering sauces or fussy twists—just honest, beautifully executed dishes that let the ingredients shine. The mushrooms (my personal favourite!), crispy hash browns, perfectly toasted bread, and eggs with that ideal runny yolk were all flawless. Even the American-style burger was juicy and packed with flavour. And here’s the highest praise: it won over my parents’ notoriously picky Chinese taste buds—no small feat!
Beyond the incredible food, the owner was an absolute delight—warm, genuine, and full of positive energy. Chatting with him was a joy.
I truly hope this little treasure gets the attention it deserves. Wishing the business all the success in the world—I’ll definitely be back!
