Where to start your day in the royal borough


Whether you’re looking for a quick bite to eat before a day of shopping or a leisurely morning of pancakes and mimosas, Chelsea is filled with great brunch spots. From delis tucked away off the King’s Road to generous hotel buffets and Parisian-inspired cafes overlooking Sloane Square, we bring you the best places for breakfast in SW1.

Where To Go For Brunch In Chelsea 2025

Cafe Linea

A new arrival on Chelsea’s culinary scene is Cafe Linea, a restaurant, bar and bakery housed within a Grade II-listed building on Duke of York Square. Pop in first thing for a cold-pressed juice and a pastry – the ham and cheese alumette is a highlight – or settle in for a proper weekend brunch. Expect all the classics, but with fun twists: French toast is caramelised and served with whipped mascarpone yoghurt, for instance, while the bacon sandwich is reinvented into a brioche bun topped with brown sauce. Pair with a Bloody Mary or the signature Linea Summer Spritz for the perfect start to your Saturday.

The Chelsea Townhouse

Nestled away on a quiet street near Sloane Square, The Chelsea Townhouse is designed to feel like a home away from home. But come breakfast time, you know you’re in a five-star hotel. Served in the peaceful Garden Room, the offering includes a breakfast buffet piled high with pastries, fruit and granola, followed by classic brunch dishes like smashed avocado on toast and Eggs Benedict.

Ottolenghi

You can always count on an Ottolenghi deli to deliver on the brunch front. The Chelsea branch, located on pretty Pavilion Road, serves breakfast every day until 11.45am, aside from Sunday when it’s on offer until 1pm. Brunch classics are given a Middle Eastern twist: scrambled tofu is flavoured with harissa, while Dutch pancakes come topped with orange, coconut and raspberry. Alternatively, grab something from the counter – the cinnamon brioche pretzels are devilishly good.

The Good Life Eatery

The Good Life Eatery

Health-conscious brunchers should head to The Good Life Eatery for nutritious fare inspired by LA cafe culture. Think acai bowls topped with coconut flakes and blueberries, egg white frittatas, build-your-own avocado on toast, and chestnut and almond waffles with a raspberry chia compote. Pair with the ‘Drink Your Salad’ juice for a dose of green goodness (kale, celery, cucumber, the lot) or one of the superfood smoothies, like the Coco Butter made with dates, peanut butter, coconut milk and vanilla.

Ollie’s House

Brunch is jazzed up with Asian flavours at Ollie’s House, the all-day eatery on Fulham Road. Served until 3pm, the menu includes dishes like the house brunch roti which sees a paratha wrap filled with scrambled eggs, cheese, chilli paste and wasabi mayo. There’s also Asian corn fritters, which come topped with chilli jam and smashed avocado, and nasi goreng: an Indonesian dish which features fried rice, fried eggs and crunchy veggies. In the mood for something sweet? Go for the pancake baos: sweet bao buns filled with berries, caramelised banana and chantilly cream. For an extra dose of fun, opt for bottomless brunch which includes unlimited fizz or beer for 90 minutes.

PJ’s Chelsea Brasserie

Also on Fulham Road is PJ’s Chelsea Brasserie, a long-standing spot which has been around since 1990. The brunch menu recently underwent a refresh, and now features dishes like chorizo scrambled eggs, sweetcorn fritters with harissa-braised chickpeas, and triple berry pancakes. You have the option to go bottomless too, with free-flowing bloody marys or mimosas. With a relaxed atmosphere and large tables, it’s a good option for big groups and birthdays.

Granger & Co Pancake Day

Granger & Co.

The sweetcorn fritters served at Aussie-inspired restaurant Granger & Co are the stuff of legend: perfectly crispy, and served with roast tomatoes and avocado salsa. But there are plenty of other dishes worth trying too: sweet-toothed diners will love the ricotta hotcakes with honeycomb butter, and the Fresh Aussie is a healthy take on the Full English made with poached eggs and smoked Chalk Stream trout. On a weekend, don’t miss the Bill’s Bloody Mary, a revitalising blend of vodka, Korean chilli, yuzu and lemon; if you’re on a health kick go for the Sunrise, a smoothie filled with berries, Greek yoghurt and bee pollen. Located on Pavilion Road, the Chelsea branch has some outdoor seating too, ideal for sunny days.

Charlotte’s Cloud

Another favourite for brunch on the King’s Road is Charlotte’s Cloud, where you can enjoy breakfast fare every day until 4pm – ideal if you’re nursing a weekend hangover. If that is the case, the Charlotte’s English is sure to bring you back to life, a hearty brunch of eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms and beans. On the sweet side, there’s French toast made with banana and chocolate, or pancakes topped with streaky bacon and drizzled in maple syrup. Alternatively, keep it light with some granola, porridge or a chia pudding.

Exterior of Colbert

Colbert

For a French-inspired brunch in Chelsea, your best bet is Colbert, an all-day brasserie located moments away from Sloane Square station. With its red banquettes, glass chandeliers and vintage photographs lining the walls, it feels cosy yet special at the same time, drawing inspiration from the chic cafes of Paris. In the summertime, though, the place to be is on the terrace – a great people-watching spot. Tuck into classic French pastries, eggs your way, or kedgeree with smoked haddock, alongside coffee and juice.

My Old Dutch Pancake Day

My Old Dutch

Craving pancakes in Chelsea? Stroll down the King’s Road to My Old Dutch, which has been whipping up delicious stacks since the 1950s. The extensive menu includes every pancake topping you could ever think of, from My Old Dutch, which features crispy bacon, ham, peppers and cheese, to The Pistachio Dreamcake, which sees pancakes topped with fruit, pistachio sauce and ice cream. Keep it classic with the butterscotch mix or go gluten-free, dairy-free or vegan.
