Whitecross St, EC1Y 8QJ

On a sunny Summer's afternoon,
Or a bitter Winter morn,
At Market Restaurant,
You will ne'er be forlorn.

Some are saying Market Restaurant is the ‘Tick Tock Cafe of EC1’. But comparison is unbecoming. This is an establishment in its own right. Just look at the sign pronouncing ‘Burgers Rolls E.T.C.’.

When I see ‘E.T.C.’ I will not rest until I know what that entails. Well, I checked and its beans, chips and an incredibly healthy serving of warmth and love.

This is the kind of meal that sets your Sunday off correctly.

Now, out of full honesty I ordered this because I thought it would be funny. It was. But do you know what else it was?

Delicious.

The chips? Crispy.

The beans? Piping hot.

The burger? Present.

Wash that down with a piping hot cup of coffee as black as the night sky, and my friend, you have brunch.

The people watching potential of M.R. is frankly off the charts. On a Sunday there are regulars left, right and centre. Coming out the proverbial wazoo, if you will. I like to sit in the same seat with a phenomenal view over the cafe interior. Importantly, no one will ever know I’m observing as my eyes are perpetually glazed over. You should try it sometime yourself, reader. I’ll see (watch) you there.
