Dish Cult Dines: the most important meal of the day at Cafe Benedict

Brunch at Cafe Benedict takes centre stage and is served from 7am until 5pm. Expect CackleBean farm eggs on sourdough toast – poached, fried or folded – as well as boiled CackleBean farm eggs with buttered sourdough soldiers. We’d recommend the namesake though, eggs benedict: hand-cut griddled bacon (Cafe Benedict is again very popular for this on social media), poached eggs, sourdough toast and hollandaise.

There are eggy options that you might not be so familiar with too, such as eggs sobrasada (diced Iberico spiced sausage, folded egg, salsa verde and lemon on sourdough toast) and eggs paxos (folded eggs with oregano, whipped feta, grilled lemon and zaatar oil on sourdough toast).

If you have a sweet tooth though, then there’s another namesake we cannot recommend highly enough: the waffle benedict with truffle butter, hand-cut griddled bacon, maple syrup and fried egg.

Cafe Benedict has built a bit of a rep for itself on not just its delicious brunch servings, but also its brunch cocktails. If you want a cheeky one (or two) with your brunch then you can choose from Spanish Mary (gazpacho, Absolut vodka, celery, chilli and lemon), Espresso Martini (espresso, coffee liqueur and Absolut vodka), French Martini (Absolut vodka, chambord and pineapple), Classic Mimosa (prosecco and freshly squeezed orange juice) or Peach Bellini (peach and prosecco).
