The story below, however, was what made my experience at Peggy Porschen especially memorable... I decided within a few hours to go to London with no particular plans in mind for my first time in the city, lucked out with a last minute reservation at this very popular cafe for an impromptu birthday afternoon tea. Unexpectedly stayed till close after an amazing time with the nicest waitress who moved me to their best table at start, helped clean off sweater lint off the only nice clothes I scrappily packed for the short notice trip, patiently took so many pics of me all around the cafe's most aesthetic corners fully indulging my basic, and taught me how to properly eat a scone instead of my original brutish ways. When the waitress came to take my card near end of service, I quietly showed her a note I'd written her on my phone (tldr expressed gratitude for her kindness and for making my birthday joyful amidst a gloomy holiday season, offered to do a few things and asked which would serve her the most meaning). After reading the note, the waitress gave me a big hug which I happily accepted, then surprised me with tears streaming down her face as she told me she was actually having a really rough day till this. After she collected herself a bit and closed out the remaining customers, we chatted more in a private section and resonated on our philosophies around how we treat people. Before parting, I encouraged the young waitress (Akanksha) to please retain her precious human qualities that the world always needs more of (indirectly reminding myself the same). You never know when somebody is going through a rough time. For two strangers at Peggy Porschen on this particular day, a scrappy patron and a waitress serendipitously made each other's day a little brighter and heart feel a lot warmer.

Seriously, one of the hosts took over waiting on us and wasn't any better than the server who only came to our table once. The star of the show were the truffle mushroom arancini. Crispy, packed with flavor, sitting in two separate sauces, they were the best bite of our lunch handsdown. My partner and I also split the chicken mayo club with avocado and the whole thing was devoid of flavor. So bland. Pretty, but my god so bland. If we hadn't been in a hurry, I'd have sent it back. That's how disappointing it was. The restaurant is beautiful inside, and the large open windows made for great people watching. Unlikely to return the next time I'm in town though. You can find a better spot for a quick lunch, I'm sure.

When you get to the restaurant, grab a table first and remember the table number because you'll have to line up to order food and give them your table number so they can bring you food. There're table by the lake and it very nice but we chose the indoor glasshouse area because it's cold. One thing to note is that you will have to wait a Longgggggg time for food.
