I have eaten at Honey & Co in London’s Fitzrovia on several occasions since its opening in 2012 but it has been a while since my last visit. With a few hours to spare before catching a train from nearby Euston station it made the perfect location for breakfast.
Owners Sarit Packer and Itamar Srulovich have created a wonderful cafe/restaurant in which to serve their fantastic Middle Eastern food. its only small but it is now possible to make a reservation so that does take away some of the uncertainty at busy times. Just across the road is Honey & Spice, a deli/grocery shop where you can buy everything you need to create recipes from the three cookery books that they have now written. If grilled food is your fancy you can now head off to nearby Great Portland Street where they have opened Honey & Smoke. So you have plenty of choice in the area.
The breakfast menu may not be overly long but its not lacking in wonderful things to start your day. Spoilt for choice, we opted for The Big Breakfast and forgo the need for lunch while travelling.
Start with a breakfast meze including freshly baked breads, the smoothest, creamiest hummus I’ve ever tasted, labenah, tomato and feta salad and yogurt with berries and granola. It all looked and tasted superb.
While you are working your way through these delights your choice of egg dish is being prepared. These are also quite substantial so there is not much of a chance you will leave hungry.
A sausage roll of two Merguez sausages served with marinated tomatoes, harissa and a hardboiled Cornish farm egg.
Green Shakshuka. Two Cornish farm eggs baked in spinach and herbs, served with goat’s yogurt and a sesame bagel. This was fantastic.
We drank freshly squeezed orange juice and several cups of rather fine coffee. Honey & Co is cooking from the heart. We walked to Euston station rather slowly after such a magnificent breakfast. I heartily recommend a visit here.
