St. Christopher’s Place is a commercial district right by the Bond Street Underground Station—perfectly situated in the center of London—and it is a veritable haven for foodies and those in search of an artsy latte. Here are some of my favorite venues!
Crome: Crome has incredible French toast and cute lattes. Think French toast flavors like pistachio, Lotus Biscoff, and tiramisu.
Feya: Feya has three different locations around London; of the two I've been to, the St. Christopher's location is my favorite. It's quite pricy, as London cafes tend to be, but the interior is adorable and airy. It's a bit small, so make a reservation if you're going on a weekend.
Papa-dum: Papa-dum serves up delicious Indian dishes, in multiple branches across the city. I've only been to this one, and love its outdoor seating for a sunny London day. My favorite dishes come from the chaat menu--try the samosa channa! And the lassis are divine--go for the mango or the rose and pistachio.
DYCE: DYCE has a brunch menu, but go for the dessert. You can create your own with a choice of base (baklava, cookie, doughnut, etc.), plus ice cream and toppings.
Festok: This Lebanese ice cream spot is a hidden gem. You choose your base plus choice of ice cream. The taste and texture are quite different than what you might be used to, but it's such a treat. Expect flavors like rose, pistachio, turmeric, halva, sea salt caramel, and more.
Le Relais de Venise: I went on the most splendid date at this French restaurant, which serves a set menu of salad, steak, and frites. You get two servings of the steak and frites, with their amazing homemade sauce! They don't take reservations, so expect a wait. Come hungry.
