Fischer’s

Why: This Venetian-inspired café from The Wolseley Hospitality Group is found right on Marylebone high street.

If you’re looking to make things boozy, add a glass of Champagne from the impressive by-the-glass selection at Fischer's.

Nobu Portman Square

Why: Technically this is Nobu's breakfast menu, but with dishes like banana caramel soy French toast, and salmon and scrambled egg donburi on the menu, we think its just as appropriate for brunch. There are some more classic brunch options on there too - a full English and eggs benedict, for example - but if you're going to come to Nobu, we'd recommend going with the excellent Nobu favourites, or book from 12 when the lunch menu comes on.
