London Baby!

London Baby!

I think London is becoming one of my favorite places. Piemonte is still at the top of course, but London is an extraordinary city. Apart from the sights, there are many top of the line restaurants and wine shops, so for a wine interested foodie, it’s like heaven.

Apart from doing some shopping and sightseeing, the main topic of this trip was food! Brunch, lunch, dinner – you name it! Ever heard of the Granger & Co? It’s a small chain of restaurants in the London area, with a total of four locations. You can also find some locations abroad. Anyway, fantastic brunch spot! I had the ricotta pancakes and I almost ordered another serving. So good! So if you’re ever in the area, check them out!

I didn’t have time to check out any wine stores this time around, but thankfully my wine fridge is fully stocked. If you have any tips for my next trip to London, let me know!

Granger & Co – Brunching in London

Granger & Co

During my last trip to London, Granger & Co was my favorite stop. It seems it’s a popular spot, because we had to wait in line for quite a bit. But it was worth it once we got inside. Beautiful decor, nice staff and incredible food! I rarely brunch, but since I was on vacation, brunch was on the schedule. It’s usually when I am travelling I do brunch. Last time I think was in NYC with Silvia Altare, at Little Park.

Granger & Co was started by Bill Granger, an australian restaurateur and he has restaurants in four locations in the London area. His restaurants can also be found abroad in Sydney, Honolulu, Tokyo and Seoul.

Even though I had the Ricotta Hotcakes, there are other more healthy alternatives, so that your brunch experience doesn’t have to be all butter and sugar. To accompany my hotcakes I had a delicious glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, which was one of their many options on the drink menu. Yum!

Anyways, if you go to one of Bill Granger’s restaurants or if you have already been, let me know what you think! Always nice to share stories and experiences.
