Lovely new friend Tristen introduced Meghana, Oscar and myself to some wonderful food. First, Almond Bar on Liverpool Street in Paddington, a cosy Lebanese place with a small obsession with almonds. All desserts appeared to feature almonds, and there is a cute almond platter to start, and chocolate almonds with your bill - maybe they have shares in the almond market? Nevertheless, some lovely platters, their dips were particularly yum.
Tristen also introduced us to brunch at Bathers Pavilion in Balmoral, right on the beach, filled with a room full of yummy mummies. Their brunch dishes were very inventive. Tristen and Meghana helped themselves to "Biodynamic egg omelette" which apparently comes from some very well-fed and happy hens, whereas I had a very good baked egg en cocotte:
And here is Oscar looking very happy with himself as he orders baked beans with smoked ham hock - this is a man with a self-confessed obsession with anything pig:
Taking of pig, we finished brunch at 12:30pm and I went straight to a late lunch of barramundi at the London Tavern in Paddington. One has to increase fat content for the winter, no??
