Best Maida Vale Brunch Spots
1. The Elgin
255 Elgin Ave., London W9 1NJ
Starting off with a quintessential British experience, The Elgin is a charming Maida Vale brunch spot that’s so cosy you’ll find it hard to leave.
Those in search of traditional favourites will love the Elgin’s Fry Up (with an equally delicious Veggie counterpart), while those eager to try something new can indulge in their Roasted Broccoli Foccacia or the Roasted Cauliflower & Chickpea Salad.
Of course, no brunch experience would be complete without a signature brunch cocktail. And as the Elgin transforms into a bar every evening, they’ll have you more than covered.
