All Bar One - Kingsway London

In the heart of London, just off Kingsway, All Bar One has carved out a reputation for a breakfast that feels both effortless and considered. This isn't your standard greasy spoon or rushed morning pit-stop — it's a bright, modern space where the morning menu gets the same attention as the evening cocktails. With a solid Food Hygiene Rating, it’s clearly a kitchen that knows what it's doing. Whether you're fuelling up before a day in the office or catching up with friends, the relaxed, slightly buzzy atmosphere makes it a proper start to the day.

The breakfast menu leans into generous, well-executed classics. Think perfectly poached eggs on sourdough, stacks of fluffy pancakes drizzled with syrup, and full English breakfasts that are properly assembled — not just a heap of ingredients. There's a lightness to the cooking that stops things feeling heavy. They also do a mean smashed avocado with chilli flakes, and the coffee is properly good. All Bar One serves across central London, so it's an easy, reliable choice when you want a proper sit-down breakfast without the fuss.
