I didn't have to get it for every morning but I chose which morning to have it on the spot. Breakfast is a buffet. When you come in, they seat you and get your drink order. They can do specialty coffee if you want it. They also have juice. The spread is a good selection of meats, cheeses, fruit and bread, both warm and cold choices. I was filled up from trying all the options. They offer safe choices and also local, English breakfast The staff are quire friendly and very helpful in clearing the dishes you don't need anymore. I also overheard them answering questions that other guests had about the food.

Landmark Hotel - Winter Garden…read more Date of Visit: 16.09.17 Time: 4pm Review: A short 7min walk from Baker St station and moments away from Marylebone station the hotel is ideally located with many bus routes and Selfridges and Oxford street a short bus journey away. As you enter you see the grand courtyard and palms greeting you and transporting you to a new place in time and location. You feel like you have travelled to a new country and ready to start your holiday and culinary journey awaits. A great feel and the open area is even more impressive if you walk up the staircase and view from the mezzanine level with the live pianist and comfortable seating area. As you enter the winter garden you are immediately greeted and we were seated not to long after even though we were early. Menus provided and explained in detail but luckily i also enquired before hand about vegetarian options so was aware this was an option. However when the menu was explained we were again asked about any dietary requirements and given options of no meat, no gelatine and no alcohol but i have a feeling that many other options available and very impressed by this. You are first served with your selection of tea and you can order other drinks if you wish you just maybe charged. Anytime you wish your tea is served to you and refreshed as you need. Staff always attentive and you are never kept waiting too long. Always smiling and friendly. Soon after the sandwich selection arrives without the crust and each one is explained. If you finish your selection more are immediately offered and served up. All great tasting with fresh ingredients and not overpowering, cucumber sandwich was fresh and especially also liked the pepper and cream cheese. After you have completed your sandwiches your scones are served followed by your dessert selection and again you are offered more scones should you wish and at every stage tea is topped up as needed. Scones again home made and fluffy and you get to select two jams (we had strawberry and apricot) and you also get clotted cream but ample servings provided. I am not a scone person but still loved them. Lets see if you get space for dessert but amazing little selection provided and such great flavour and each looks like it was meticulously made. Hence it is worth ordering one of each of the afternoon teas as you can then get to taste the various desserts and yes you can take away any you don't finish in a nice handy take away box which also has some style to it. You won't go away hungry. Booking Process: Booked via email and after chasing once the process was easy and responses forthcoming. You do have to provide your credit card details for booking to be confirmed and there is a cancellation charge. Location: 222 Marylebone Road, London NW1 6JQ Decor & Lighting: Very large and bright courtyard given you are sitting in the glass atrium so flooded with natural light. Ambience & Acoustics: You have a live pianist playing but it is very much background music and you can hear any conversation with ease and given the expansive area they have done extremely well with the acoustics. We had the following: Drinks: Winter Garden Blend (Tea), English Breakfast (Tea) Food: Winter Garden Afternoon Tea (Vegetarian Version) Chocolate Afternoon Tea (Vegetarian Version) Sandwiches: Cucumber, Egg Mayonnaise, Buffalo mozzarella with pesto and tomato, mixed pepper with cream cheese. Scone: Apple and Raisin, Chocolate chip and fruit peel. Dessert: Pistachio and Raspberry Bakewell, Coconut and chocolate macaroon, Banana, pecan nut and milk chocolate cake, blood orange and white chocolate mousse, Pistachio and chocolate Opera gateau, to name just a few... Desert: See Above Bill / Cost: £165.00 for three inc service charge etc (£50-60 per head without the champagne option) Conclusion: A very pleasant afternoon, we arrived early and had to wait a short time but the hotel did take us earlier as soon as they could accommodate. Every effort made to meet your dietary requirements so i would recommend a visit as even if you don't like the menu it is worth asking for the other options as you will probably be pleasantly surprised. Even offered and provided a fruit platter for my mother who is diabetic. especially nice place to celebrate a birthday or anniversary. Rating: 8.0 out of 10.0

Kova claims to have the best mille crepes in town, and while I can't dispute that as a tourist,…read moreit's definitely a dubious claim. I heard about this place online but I wouldn't go for it again. First of all, the menu outside lists a number of teas under hot/iced. Turns out they only serve a few teas iced. I found the person taking my order to be pretty rude when telling me this, and then rudely interjected to say it isn't boba... I didn't ask if it was, so... thanks, I knew that, and correct your menu please. We tried the vanilla and matcha mille crepe cakes. Both were appropriately sweet and creamy but it was nothing special. Rather dense too. At least it looks good.

Popped into Kova and ordered the following:…read more - Matcha Gateau - Sea Salt Cheese Lava The gateau has the mild matcha flavour you'd expect and is delicious with a great firmness to it offering a satisfying chew to each bite. The real winner surprisingly however was the sea salt cheese lava which is perfectly judged; not too rich with just the right amount of saltiness and subtle cheese flavour to give an almost uniquely balanced dessert. Have duly raved to my friends about it since.

I saw other people having the same problem. Today I had a salmon sandwich on Focaccia bread and the salmon was fresh and succulent and the bread top notch and tasty. My cappucino was also very good...in a paper cup. This is one of the best places to snack along the South Bank and I'll keep coming back.

Got an awesome cup of hot chocolate (they have x4 kinds - white, regular, chili and Turkish - I got regular) and a bubble n Squeak plus a wholemeal rice risotto and cost was around £13. The decided to split the Scrambled egg special for another £5. All the food was really delicious! Esp the eggs - perfectly cooked, and oozing eggyness with creamy yolks. My bubble n squeak with sorrel was another exquisite taste and the scrambled eggs had just the right amount of truffle taste. The risotto was honestly our least favorite bite, but that's because the sheer beauty of the eggs overwhelmed their taste (maybe if an egg had been included in the risotto, we'd think differently? :) Will be back and definitely recommend.
