Breakfast @ Elk in the woods
Somedays, I look sadly at my English Breakfast. My tastebuds feel like something more festive.
Strolling through Islington, Elk in the woods saved my morning (and waistline, it would have taken quite a long walk to get rid of the calories a croissant contains). Quirky decoration, a little crazy sometimes, a little hunt in the forest themed.
I grab the day’s newspaper, laugh with the waitress, order a pomegrenate juice with lime, chat with the near table of the ongoing festival…
… before gulfing down the duck egg with asparagus, sausage and toast dippers (£6). And who could resist the idea of pancakes with cinamon pears and goats milk yogurt (how different and so fitting), maple syrup on top? (£5.5)
To be enjoyed on a Saturday morning, before the crowds wake up. Once it gets buzzing, the place really loses its quiet charm. Such a lovely walk around on that day with the antique market and stalls…

Laetitia: il faut vraiment une glace de bonne qualite pour le coke float. Traditionnellement, on ajoute de la glace a la vanille mais il parait que c’est extra avec une boule de cafe ou de cerise.. Le spectacle de marionnettes etait sublime, autant pour les enfants que pour les grands. Il est difficile de revenir a Guignol par la suite… Bises de toute la petite famille!
Sandra: bonne idee, tu pourras peut-etre le covaincre de venir si tu rajoutes quelques pubs?
Très joli ce montage, çà donne envie. Jus de grenade au citron vert mmmmh! Fana de coca, faudra que je m’improvise un “coke float”. Bon week-end en famille, le spectacle de marionnettes à Little Venice, quel beau programme!!!! Un gros bisous à la petite!
