I am always on the lookout for exciting breakfast venues in London. Honey & Co is the first solo venture from husband and wife team Itamar Srulovich and Sarit Packer. Both trained as chefs and have gained experience and inspiration working in kitchens around the world.

The little cafe on Warren Street offers Middle Eastern delicacies that evoke memories from the couple’s childhoods. It is the food they grew up with, whether recipes learnt from their mothers or the street food they adored as children. Honey & Co is conceived as an extension of their home, a comforting place to feast on food, chat with friends and relax.

It is a far cry from the croissants and fry-ups available at other breakfast hang-outs. Here you will find Ljje (herb, feta and buttered leek frittata), Roasted pepper and muhamra lahma, Merguese sausage roll with spicy tomato and harissa as just a few of the morning specialities. At the weekends diners can feast on Poached legbar eggs on spinach and yoghurt or Turkish smoked urfa chilli butter and potato bread soldiers, which has become a favourite with regulars. It is all delicious, carefully seasoned and using the best ingredients. Alongside the food, Honey & Co offers the sweetest freshly squeezed orange juice and good coffee.

Honey & Co has produced a vibrant cookbook with tempting recipes and alluring photography. It brings some Middle Eastern exoticism to my kitchen and reminds me of the delicious breakfasts I have enjoyed in the characterful café.
