We love The Core Collective’s season and ever-changing menu which features in season and fresh produce cooked by their health-conscious chefs. The main menu focus of the food includes wholegrain carbs and low-GI foods to keep your energy levels sustained for longer without all the nasty hidden sugars.
Even though the focus is on healthy, nourishing food, you don’t notice it as each dish is tasty and very filling. This is definitely one of the best breakfast spots near High Street Kensington and Kensington!

Al Fanar
Looking for something a little different when it comes to a breakfast or brunch? Why not go to Al Fanar which is a trendy Middle Eastern restaurant that takes its inspiration from 1960s Dubai?
There is nothing quite like it in all of Kensington, let alone London and you will be glad that you gave it a try.
You can easily spend at least an hour or two at this friendly and relaxing restaurant which offers free WiFi and the smell of beautifully roasted coffee all day.
The menu is very varied and you are spoiled for choice. However, a firm favorite with locals is their sunshine bowl or the parathas if you are going for breakfast.
Over brunch, you may enjoy their scrumptious biriyanis, hot pots or grills. Either way, be sure to come hungry because you may be tempted to have a little of everything!
