Hello everyone, it has been an exciting week for the intrepid blogger.
By rare opportunity, I snuck into Providores on Marylebone High St, London on the way to work for a breakfast fit for kings. Peter is such a clever bloke. He and his artful team have manged to create the London answer to kiwi kool - laid back, relaxed indulgence with extremely tasty and delicious things to put in your mouth.

The atmosphere is always buzzing with high levels of excited chit chat. The blogger thinks the morning is the best time to visit the tapa room, it is quite a small snug functional space which is part of its elegant charm. Though be warned, if its lunch or dinner your after in the tapa room, it can get packed to the rafters. The result of being really good at what you do, is almost everyone wants a piece of the action.
The Blogger opted for a Flat White to start the day, this is coffee that has been on a blind date with the gods. If you manage to keep your focus, then try the Spirulina. The jewel like jade colour is so rich and vibrant and the straw the perfect instrument to suck through. How do they do it so well ? Ask Peter. He is quite often hanging out up top. He is also a really humble, polite, clever guy.
For breakfast the blogger opted for the Veggie Fry Up. Wow wees. This is good. Sauteed Buttered field mushrooms and slow-roasted toms served on sourdough toast, with two eggs of your choice from the Organic Estate in Barrington Park. Scrambled eggs goes exceedingly well, though you can't dismiss the beauty of poached or the simplicity of fried-sunny-side-up.
All in all, this is, quite possibly, the finest breakfast in town.
*the blogger has heard through the grape vine, former disher-washer-upper for Fergus Henderson and formerly part of the team at The Providores, Anna Hansen is now running her own ship at the Modern Pantry, and the blogger will be heading over to Clerkenwell as soon as the sun rises out east.
