Granger & Co. Chelsea

You’ll find Granger & Co Chelsea tucked down Pavilion Road, a little semi-pedestrianised enclave that was recently redeveloped. Follow it long enough and you’ll end up at the back door of Harrods; but down at the Sloane Square end it has a properly local feel. Granted, ‘local’ here tends to translate to ‘pricey’, but the independent wine store, grocery and stationery shop make for nice browsing spots before you head into Granger & Co.

Combining beautifully suave interiors (emerald velvet sofa seating, marble-topped tables, wood-slatted ceilings) with warm hospitality and a crowd-pleasing, broad-ranging menu.

On the menu: dishes plucked from around the world and given a dusting of down under charm – shrimp burgers with lemongrass dressing and shaved radish; parmesan-crumbed chicken schnitzel with creamed corn; black lentil dahl with cauliflower rice and coconut yoghurt. Really, though, the star of the show is brunch – besides those iconic eggs you’ll find ricotta pancakes with banana and honeycomb butter; sweet corn fritters with roast tomato and bacon; and the ‘Fresh Aussie’ – a dish that makes the Full English look the builder’s bum of breakfasts, with jasmine tea-smoked salmon, poached eggs and steamed greens.

To drink, there’s a solid list of cocktails (including a sherry and vodka Bloody Mary and a cold drip Espresso Martini), as well as a bevy of smoothies, fresh juices and homemade sodas to placate the yummy mummy contingent…

…and a matcha and vanilla ice cream milkshake for everyone else.
