$$$Margaux is a classy bar and restaurant in South Kensington that serves a precise and neat breakfast menu. Its location on Old Brompton provides a change from the King’s Road. It’s comforting to know that the prices are sensible although booking is a must, especially at the weekend. The stylish interior attracts a buzzing weekend environment and the poached duck eggs with truffle mayo is certainly a Chelsea brunch to remember. Just add a cheeky glass of wine.

$$A more alternative brunch option is the Farmers Market on Sydney Street. It isn’t a traditional market filled with farmers selling their produce, but an array of individual stalls delivering the ultimate al fresco dining in true Chelsea style. The marketplace restaurant serves the best brunch, and its menu changes with each season. But there are also pizzerias, Argentinian steak houses, and other cuisines available. Be sure to check out the cigar and fine wine stalls afterwards.

$$We can’t talk about the best cafes and brunches in Chelsea without mentioning Bluebird. Notorious for its links with Made In Chelsea, the big spacious cafe at the heart of the King’s Road is complemented by a large outdoor space to sit in and enjoy their trademark ‘BigBird’ brunch, watching the posh cars drift by. Bluebird is the most sophisticated, clean, and precise brunch destination in Chelsea. Who knows? You might bump into Binky or Spencer if you spend enough time there.

$$The traditional American style PJ’s Bar and Grill on Fulham Road is lined with aged wooden walls and adopts an old-fashioned atmosphere. The centerpiece of the bar is a huge fan made from an old plane propeller which seems to hypnotize you every time you look at it. The stylish bar produces traditional weekend brunches, but their oysters are the best in Chelsea— plus they come with a glass of champagne. Be sure to book ahead as the weekends are always busy.

$$Another one for the Made In Chelsea fans, The Phene is a definite brunch destination. Located just off the King’s Road is this upmarket, notorious restaurant and bar famously owned by Lucy Watson’s dad. The outside garden has a very friendly and bubbly atmosphere, and despite the expectedly high prices, the brunch lives up to The Phene’s reputation. The duck hash with half a pint of lager is a perfect way to rest after a long morning’s shopping.
