okay welcome back to london the plan for this morning Saturday morning was to get up early film
a cinematic shot sunrise over the river thames you wouldn't believe what time the sun gets up
it's not nine o'clock it's an unreasonable time to start work
so i thought we'd go for coffee and breakfast somewhere else
that stays up late it gets up late at the weekend
the weekend personified really here in town Soho so let's head to Soho first we'll get some coffee
okay welcome to Soho Frith street
I'll head to bar Italia get coffee it's been a while since i've been here
i've haven't been to many places in this part of town full stop I haven't
been to bar italia for about two years so it's still open
okay starting saturday with black americana coffee
It might look warm and sunny out it's still pretty cold here in london
The heaters are perfect
okay starting saturday some italian coffee strong italian coffee
bar Italia here on frith street in Soho now I need something to eat head to a
bakery patisserie a French patisserie around the corner I hope it's still open
was one of the oldest french patisseries here in um in the whole london not just soho so um
yeah because i haven't been here for i haven't been in the tourist parts of town the centre
of town very much at all other than to come and meet people I've come and gone so because I
haven't been here for the best part of two years i'm not entirely sure what's still what survived
it looks like Maison Bertaux guessing that's how you pronounce it probably wrong still
so here on Greek street in london Soho is the three greyhounds pub next to the three greyhounds
pub is the wizards wand shop and in between the wizards wand shop and the coach and horses
pub is mason Bertaux the story goes that in 1870 Monsieur Bertaux fled Paris France had been defeated
in a war with the prussians and the french being the french then decided to have a civil war life
in Paris was unbearable and even more dangerous than life here in london so Monsieur Bertaux set up
home here in Soho France's loss was London's gain cakes were so good it's still here today okay
Maison Bertaux here on Greek street got myself a cheese croissant and another coffee a black coffee
Good
not quite as good as uh bar Italia but It'll get you through the morning
probably smash you straight into the afternoon
okay croissants here delicious going for the cheese croissant super crispy on the outside
nice and buttery fingers are covered in butter nice and buttery and soft on the inside
do you dip your croissants in your coffee maybe not the cheese ones but if i had a plain one
definitely although they're not they're not too sweet
best croissants to go with coffee super sweet ones with the sweet glaze maybe the uh
maybe they've got some of those patisserie after all but yeah definitely recommend trip here
breakfast lunch whenever you fancy a cake come here
so that
is coffee and breakfast here in Soho great way to start Saturday great way to start any day
coffee at bar italia it's open all day i think it's open all day any night
great spot for coffee and Maison Bertaux here
great croissants
and i've had the cakes before
If your a fan of cakes and pastry definitely recommend a visit there anyway short and sweet
today i hope you enjoyed this little visit to SoHo breakfast in Soho and see you in the next one
nearly forgot Toodles still getting back in the swing of things
