Three words sum up this fabulous brunch place - charming French waiters. They are so friendly and efficient, you feel like you are somewhere other than London... like Provence perhaps? Well, not quite, but it is a very nice change to have amazingly polished service.

The service is also very prompt, particularly when you are an hour late for your reserved hour and a half time slot. (England happened to switch onto daylight saving that day, and some of us kind of forgot.) Aubaine is so popular with the locals, you are given time slots.

The breakfast menu consists of a great selection of croissants, fresh crusty baguettes and delightful pastries as well as light and fluffy omelettes where you can choose your own combination of toppings.

Great coffee and a relaxed, true café ambience make this a lovely place to go for Sunday Brunch. You can also pick up some delectable macaroons at the pastries counter on the way out!

Set in the massive glass conservatory at The Wallace Collection museum, this newly opened restaurant is the perfect place to brunch on a sunny Winter's day. Whilst the service is nothing to write home about (our meals all came out at different times and we had all finished our first course before patient Sally was served hers) the food is really great. Karen & I started off with the Sugar Crepes which were mouth-wateringly good. The others all had omelettes. Then because we all had food-envy, Karen & I had to share an omelette and the others had to share some crepes. Michelle blissed out with the Tarte au citron (lemon tart) whilst Mon looked equally enthralled with her Tarte Tatin (puff pastry with caramelised apple) After our magnificant brunch, we all headed to the nearby Regent's Park to run 50 laps around Queen Mary's Rose Garden. Ok, not really, but after all of these fantastic brunches we really need to introduce a strict exercise regime into the routine!
