Ep 7 – 23 Nov 2016 – ..it’s the end of the World as we know it..
…but the breakfast is fine…
Location: Caravan, 11-13 Exmouth Market, London, EC1R 4QD, United Kingdom
Order: 1 x Grain Pancakes with maple mascarpone and strawberries + Breakfast Tea, 1 x Avocado, chilli and lemon + Mocha coffee
Review: 5/5
Comment: Ticks all the boxes. Good food, great service, nice location. Full package. It’s always tricky to get a place here as there’s no reservations for breakfast, but if you get a place, you’re heading for a treat. Recommended.
