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!

Chanteroy is a fabulous find. It is a tiny French deli/patisserie that specialises in French pastry and ultra-fresh baguettes. The baguettes are made to order with a variety of fillings including ham, salami, cheese, brie, lettuce and tomato - all are exceptional value (approx £2 to £3). The French staff are very friendly and polite and the service is quick even if the queue goes out the door. Chanteroy Deli has a wide variety of pastries - my favourite being the lemon tart. It also stocks a range of European grocery items. This deli is ideal for picking up a bite to eat for lunch or for morning/afternoon treats. It is also the perfect place for picnic food as it is only a short stroll to Wimbledon Park (5 mins walk). The deli is situated across the road from Southfields Tube Station. Take the exit on the left as you leave the tube station.
