Londoners love nothing more than a good brunch, be they bottomless, healthy or not quite the norm. We’ve narrowed down our favourite spots for brunch in Chelsea and Mayfair for a bit of culinary inspo this weekend
Words Georgie Rutherford
Farm Girl
An Australian inspired café in the heart of Chelsea serving holistic and healthy food. Farm Girl values fresh, nutritionally nurturing ingredients and delivers them in a warm and welcoming environment. Taste the punchy acai bowl and hearty slow-cooked chicken sandwich for real satisfaction. If you’re in need of an immune boost, order a Liquid Gold Turmeric latte for a real kick. The perfect way to redeem your guilt after the night before.

Chicama
Chicama with its beachy King’s Road terrace is a seafood restaurant with a menu inspired by the bold-flavours of Peruvian cuisine. This neighbourhood restaurant features signature dishes such as Whole fish grilled over charcoal and delicious Dover Sole with its fresh fish whizzed up to London from Cornwall daily. To put it simply – sensational tasting food with a photogenic atmosphere.
