The Providores, Marylebone, London

The Providores, Marylebone High St, London
Tuesday 5 April, 2005

I had been recommended this place for breakfast by several London friends and my sister, who lives there. So, off I walked from Oxford St over to Marylebone St - great window shopping.

I have only eaten downstairs in the very casual space with low and high tables but I liked it. The staff were very laid back and take their time serving you - but for breakfast I had time to kill, so I read a whole paper before my food arrived.

The menu is full of Australian and New Zealand items and they offer vegemite soldiers - perfect for a homesick Aussie. The coffee is really good and I managed to enjoy three cups before leaving to explore the rest of Marylebone High St.

I haven't heard great things about the dinner experience but it's perfect for breakfast.
