Breakfast/Brunch options here are all good. Fresh, tasty and high quality ingredients. I went for the Veggie Breakfast on this occasion, and it was banging, although the normal one is knock-out too!

I always crave the Sri Lankan breakfasts from Pavilion. String hoppers, coconut sambol, roti, egg hoppers, and dhal... Got me totally hooked.

Lovely café by the lake in Victoria Park. Limited indoor seating so wrap up warm in the winter. Great coffee with tasty cakes and brunch options! It gets really busy even in weekdays. Kid friendly.

The coffee and location are superb. The fresh bread looks tempting, and so do the meals. More after the 2nd visit. Bike parking available in good public view.

Good chestnut and onion soup, although would have liked more onions, kippers with potato cakes were nice but I wish they served two eggs instead of one. Great place for brunch on a sunny day

One of my favourite places for coffee, brunch, lunch or even a snack! Always great food & great service. Menu changes quite often but recommend the breakfast focaccia and any of the cakes for afters!

Brekkies here are just the best! Try the Sri Lankan breakfast and the eggs royale! It’s meant to be dog friendly but they often change their policy as they please. A little confusing!

Great view and nice breakfast, perfect for summer brunches. Watch ducks and eat fresh cakes. Amazing granola. Really good daily brewed coffee. One of the fav places in east.

Chai. Sri Lankan breakfast. Awesome food! It's quite hectic though, trendy and popular.
Giordana SesiniApril 24, 2013
Amazing place, the food is ridiculous, I've tried the eggs royal smoked salmon, absolutely delicious! Wonderful view of the lake, very friendly staff! One of my fav places in London for sure! Great!
A.October 27, 2012
Quaint little café situated on the lake with a great range of vegetarian fare. The chanterelles on sour dough with egg and thyme are a great alternative to the Full English, and they do proper beans!
Giulia ForliniJuly 29, 2015
Very good and nice service. Great location but very busy all the time. As its my local I will definitely come back several times
Lydia AndrewsMarch 13, 2016
First sunny Sunday that it's actually warm enough to sit outside so it's PACKED but still super quick with my delicious breaky, lovely friendly staff too!

Sri Lankan breakfast comes with coconut models, daal and egg curry!

Very good (and surprisingly extensive) menu with local products and produce. Friendly staff and Great Lake views.
Tammo WiersumJuly 3, 2016
Veggie breakfast is tasty. Great bread and good haloumi and avocado. The Sri-Lankan breakfast was also pretty good.
EdAugust 16, 2016
Outdoor seating by the lake. Informal atmosphere. Great on sunny days. Simple yet brilliantly executed menu
Eirini PapageorgiouNovember 11, 2015
Nice breakfast! I really liked the eggs Benedict! I wasn't impressed with the £2.50 portion of halloumi which was two very thin slices.

Quick service, plethora of seating, delicious food and stunning location. Top 5 brunch spots of London.
Rylan HoleySeptember 28, 2014
Lovely food in London's best Park. Get a seat next to the lake and go for a Sri Lankan breakfast.

One of the best locations in London. Sipping good coffee by the lake in the sun is perfect. The home made baked beans are really good also.
Mick ConroyApril 11, 2015
This is without a doubt the best cafe in London. Craft coffee, excellent breakfast, and superlative water views. A trifecta that's unmatched within the M25.
DanisNovember 23, 2014
Although most people will come here for the view in the summer, the coffee and pastries are also surprisingly good.
Linnea OlsénNovember 4, 2013
Lovely place to watch hipsters, babies and dogs but also has great coffee and local milk! Also right inside a lovely park to finish or start a walk with someone dear!
Y KimSeptember 30, 2015
Such a special place to have a brunch on Sunday morning. You can have eggs royale beside the lake!
V HAugust 13, 2017
Great spot on a sunny day, serving great food. Grab a loaf of sourdough to go, too.
Jaejae HyunJune 8, 2013
It's located on the pond in Victoria park and absolutely, such a number one place to have a breakfast on any given weather day.
Aidan HornsbyOctober 9, 2014
A perfect spot for breakfast or brunch. The menu is great, but they're happy to mix and match anything you like. Don't miss the chai.
Mag WalczakJune 22, 2017
Very nice place but with only one gluten free option ! It was pretty spicy but still tasty.
Jon BannisterNovember 11, 2015
Full English breakfast is awesome, eggs benedict are great - just don't bother with the sides...
Portuguese Woman O'warOctober 3, 2017
It use to have the best pancakes in town! Have been decreasing the quality. Pitty

Alas no longer serving meat as of July but the vegetarian and pescetarian options are very delicious, and not to mention better for the planet.
Thomas GravinaAugust 24, 2014
Eggs Royale, black coffee and pain au chocolate is a must have breakfast there!
Katie OswaltMay 22, 2017
Beautiful when it's nice out, and awesome veg options. Droolworthy.

Average brunch options, excellent views, nice atmosphere, quick service

The Hoppers are lovely, the coffee great and the bread delicious. What more do you want?
KathrynOctober 21, 2010
They sell great cakes.. the banana, chocolate and walnut is lovely! The queue can get long but I've always been able to bring my little dog in whilst I buy a nice cup of tea and cake :-)

Still my favourite breakfast spot in East London. Better in the summer though since it gets quite chilly outside.

Avocado on toast was not bad but the view is everything.

Amazing breakfast spot with superb view 😍
Duncan McintoshJune 19, 2016
Good coffee served by the standard too attitude baristas . Good tasty but nothing to rave about ( had the vege breakfast ) the real star is the location and people watching
