"Berners Tavern is sophisticated without being stuffy. Every available bit of wall space is covered in framed pictures apparently, there are 228 of them. The service here is that winning blend of professional and personal. As we settled into our comfortable leather upholstered booth, a champagne trolley was promptly wheeled in our direction. We knew we were going to enjoy Brunch at Berners Tavern."
"We opted for glasses of the Veuve Cliquot Yellow Label NV (26), dry, icy cold and a good way to start our visit. I was hoping to keep my wits about me as we had a gallery visit planned for the afternoon. However, egged on by the champagne waiter's cry of It's Saturday!, I was unable to say no to a second glass when the trolley rolled round again."
"It was the first time I've seen this combination and am now hoping it catches on. The hash browns bore no relation to the sadder versions found on the breakfast buffets of Britain's chain hotels and burger joints. Instead, a crunchy outer hid masses of soft, thinly mandolined potatoes inside. These were topped with heaps of buttered spinach, Dingley Dell smoked back bacon, poached eggs, seaweed Hollandaise sauce and Parmesan cheese."
Berners Tavern occupies an elegant dining room at The London EDITION on Berners Street in Fitzrovia. Jason Atherton serves as chef patron, alongside other restaurants including City Social, Sael, The Blind Pig and Little Social. The dining room is densely adorned with framed pictures, reportedly 228 in number, and service combines professional polish with personal attention. A champagne trolley complements brunch, with patrons often choosing Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label. The menu offers superior breakfast items and long-lunch options; a standout is the Hash Brown Benedict featuring crunchy mandolined-potato hash browns, buttered spinach, Dingley Dell smoked back bacon, poached eggs, seaweed Hollandaise and Parmesan.
