Pleasingly Plump at the Fat Radish

Where do girls with an Alexander Wang aesthetic who have Grimes on repeat go for brunch? You can find them at Fat Radish, an exquisitely hipster farm-to-table neighborhood spot that momentarily transports you to a table next to Keira Knightly in charming Marylebone, London.

There are specials written in fat white letters up on a mirror along the wall. We decided to try the salmon crostini, which came on a gray slate topped with 4 pieces of smoked salmon on light, creamy marscapone cheese placed on half slices of 7-grain toast, accompanied with capers and chives. Certainly a delicious and refined rendition of smoked salmon on lox.

Since we felt like we were in merry old England, how could we not order the Full English Breakfast, a hearty platter of eggs, baked beans, bacon and sausage. How quintessentially English! For a lighter option, we also ordered the Avocado and 7-Grain Toast with Spicy Eggs. Creamy avocado on top of toast, perfect for sopping up poached eggs lightly drizzled in a spicy sauce.




A trip to the UK will cost you a pretty penny, but spending some quality time with friends over French pressed coffee and eggs at Fat Radish is a far more affordable option. Enjoy the country chic surroundings and the attractive scene while feeling pleasantly full at the Fat Radish.
