At this Japanese coffee shop, everything is made from the very best ingredients. KURO Coffee has a quiet seating area upstairs where you can escape busy city life.

If breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day, then Eggbreak just might be the most important restaurant in London. It's eggs all day every day here at this Notting Hill hotspot.

Another gem from the team behind KURO Coffee, KURO Bakery has an incredible selection of fresh, handmade pastries with a Japanese bent. The selection is masterminded by head baker Adam Morley and includes seasonal filled croissants, Danish delicacies, Shokupan and Kuro’s own Sakuras (wheel-shaped croissants filled with cream).

Greek food, but not quite as you know it – lunch at Mazi kicks off with mini jars of tarama dusted in bottarga powder and smoked aubergine with tahini and thyme honey. The Greek salad is topped with barley rusks and itty-bitty crumbs of creamy feta, and the wine list is a discerning, patriotic list of little-known Greek bottles. A table in the courtyard garden out back is a summer evening winner after a drink outside The Hillgate pub. If there are no tables at Mazi, try sibling restaurant Suzi Tros down the street.
