Burnt

“Burnt is hands down one of my favorite brunch spots in London! I’ve been here numerous times and love it. Their seasonal brunch menu is always fantastic, with fresh, creative dishes that never disappoint. The pistachio pancakes are honestly the best I’ve ever had - absolute perfection with such good flavour! The staff are consistently warm, friendly, and attentive, and their selection of pastries is just as impressive and delicious . Highly recommend!”

“EDIT: Having spoken to the owner, I can definitely see how much she cares about giving her customers the best experience possible as she immediately invited us back to improve on our below experience. Will update this review once we have our second visit. Our second visit was a totally different and wholly superior experience. The service was friendly and attentive and the food was absolutely delicious. We especially loved the ricotta pancakes and the halloumi toast special. As expected, the filled pistachio croissants were incredible. The only reason the food isn't a 5 for us is the coffee was still quite weak for our tastes but that's purely personal preference. -------------- I've wanted to try Burnt for a very long time and finally made it there. Before going I pre ordered my almond croissant as they tend to sell out; this was well worth it - absolutely delicious. Sadly that's the only thing I'd recommend having there out of the items we ordered. The coffee was lukewarm when it arrived at the table for all 3 of us. Before going I'd chatted to someone from the cafe on Instagram and they'd confirmed that they have a range of vegan options beyond just avocado toast. When we asked the waitress what the vegan options were, she said the only one was the 'chicken Caesar minus the chicken and eggs and dressing so literally just the salad leaves and tomato'! I then asked about the avocado toast and she said they could do that but offered no other options at all. This was super disappointing as I'd made the effort to check re. Vegan options before going. We also ordered the poached eggs on toast. For £9 we each got a single small slice of sourdough toast spread with a tiny amount of butter and topped with the eggs - no garnish of any kind. For this price this felt insulting honestly. The eggs were poached well and the bread was good quality which is the only reason my rating isn't lower (and because of the excellent croissant). Sadly I therefore cannot recommend Burnt unless you're after a takeaway pastry.”

“Great brunch spot! We got the buttermilk ricotta pancakes with the pistachio cream and the lamb croque Madame which definitely hit the spot! Would recommend 10/10. PS there is a secret garden downstairs, perfect for those sunny summer days ”

“Absolutely loved my visit to Burnt on Askew Road! The food was gorgeous — full of flavour, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. The vibe is spot on: relaxed, stylish, and welcoming. The staff were so friendly and attentive, which really added to the whole experience. What really surprised me was how reasonably priced everything was, especially for this area. A real hidden gem — I’ll definitely be back!”

“Service and staff are super nice. But the food is very overpriced for what it is. We ordered ready made sandwiches, a couple of egg with avocado and salmon and two coffee for £40. That’s insane for breakfast when the quality is not super. rethink your prices”
