Saturday or Sunday Brunch is such a treat! There is nothing I adore more than having those breakfast items. I hadn’t seen Jo for a very long time – she’s was working in New York for most of last year and then when she came back I went off to Oz. We decided to meet up at the Electric Brasserie … when I say we decided to meet up I meant, I strongly encouraged Jo to meet me there. heh heh.

Being Saturday, the day that all the tourists come down to Portobello Road for the market, the streets were absolutely heaving and the Brasserie had started to develop a long line of waiting customers. Just as well we’d been able to secure a booking. I’d been checking out the menu the day before so already knew that I was going try the French Toast with Maple Pecan Butter with a side of bacon. I’m normally the Full English Breakfast type of girl but was feeling the maple pecan butter.

The French Toast was delicious but expensive at £7.50 for one slice of toast, thick as it was. Jo said her smoked haddock was tasty but at £8.50 it too looked a very small portion. Service was very patchy – drinks took a while to arrive and they made a mistake with Jo’s, and then it was hard to get wait-staff attention when we wanted it. Not sure I would put this place on my regular to go for brunch venues, even if it is local – it was passable without being spectacular.
