Fernando's in City of London, Westminster

Such a small place that you could easily walk past! Don't because the food is delicious, lovely people and Italian atmosphere. No, it's not fancy, but there is a space at the back where you can sit comfortably and enjoy your lunch or breakfast. Ignore the chain restaurants and expensive places. I had a huge tuna melt panini; I couldn't finish it all! My daughter had pasta carbonara - a huge plate but so good she devoured most of it. Excellent value as well.

Excellent breakfast and very reasonable price. The lady speaks English, which is not a given everywhere in London!

Great breakfast! We ordered the most complete English breakfast and a scrambled egg with smoked salmon. Recommended!

Super simple, yet tasty, fresh and delicious English breakfast! Nice service too

The biggest jacked of London! It was also good!

Rich, well served and good price

A proper old school family run cafe. High quality toasted sandwiches, pasta and that rarity, a decent cup of tea. Prices are very fair.

Traditional jacket potato! Excellent for a quick (or not) lunch.

Delicious, nice and fresh! Fantastic place for breakfast

They had recommended the Greek food chain next door, but as I passed by I saw the line of people ordering takeout and who were also serving inside and I went in due to the kindness of the man serving. He suggested the lasagna and it was a hearty and delicious dish. I accompanied it with a tea that was served with milk on the side and it was delicious.

Amazing food. superbly fast service. Place a little small though

The lady is really friendly. The food is nice and the service is quick.

Great service, very tasty food and really big portions. I had never seen a jacket potato so large 😂. They were very generous with the chicken and bacon. The entire meal and drink came to £10.80. There were lots of free chairs and the food was ready in about 5 minutes. There's tonnes to choose from, and the staff are friendly, professional and efficient!

Looks a little out of place on St. Martin's Lane alongside all the posh eateries. Don't be fooled, there is a reason why Fernando's Café is always busy. Excellent food whether eat in English breakfasts or takeaway goodies the food is always excellent. We always come here for a proper English breakfast when we're in the area.

Ordered takeaway sausage egg and cheese toasted sandwich, food came in good time and was great quality.

Jacket potato with beans and cheese, so simple and so great. A couple tables to eat in, in the back of shop.

We wanted to try a traditional English breakfast and this was the spot to do it at. Small, family oriented cafe with a homey feel. Never ate cooked tomatoes before but they were surprisingly good. Everything was done just right.

Good ol’ classic English breakfast.

Awesome baked potatoes and lovely people

great breakfast at reasonable prices

Their fried and buttered breads are wonderful. Convenient and delicious 😋😋😋😋

Food is very good...everything is very fresh...typical breakfest...everything you eat is good

Very tasty and quick, slight queue

Great sandwiches, calm oasis of independence in the heart of a city of increasing chains. Very reasonable too.

Amazing English breakfast. Simple menu, fast, friendly service. There’s only about 8-10 seats in the back, so it can be pretty cramped. so depending on the time of the day you might have to wait. But food comes out quickly!

This was the best English Breakfast in a long, long time. Reminded me of when my Nan used to make it. Everything was there, Toast with salted butter, Tea. Atmosphere was very familiar and everyone was super friendly and the food came fast.

I enjoyed two great breakfasts at Fernandos, service was friendly and quick, the food was tasty and arrived quickly. Great value too

Great English breakfast for a good price. Quick and attentive service.

Very efficient little place. With only seating for a dozen, breakfast came out lightning quick and food was delicious! Very well priced, especially for the area. I had the #3 which was a modified English with tea. Would gladly visit again.

Great English breakfast type of experience. The food is cooked deliciously and the customer service is excellent. Now off to the gym to burn all those extra calories though 🤣😛

Ordered N1, one of the best full English breakfasts I've had. Flavorful tomatoes, buttered toast, and mushrooms and everything's fresh. Cozy place, opens early at 630am.

The British breakfast that this place serve is quite delicious. I heard horrid stories about common British dishes but found myself actually enjoy beans and tomatoes with toasts. It is much healthier than the American counterparts. Seating area is in the back of the sandwich shop and next to the girdle, so clothes might end up smelling smokey if quite a bit of time is spent there. Otherwise, the people were nice and courteous.

Best jacket potatoes we have tasted in London.

Headed to London today for the theatre and wanted to grab a quick bite to eat and came across Fernandos just a few steps up the road from the London Coliseum. Omgosh! Probably the most tastiest Chicken Escalope sandwiches I've had. Mozzarella and roasted peppers included. Worth stopping by to grab a proper decent meal before a show. 10/10 will visit again when I'm next in London.

Working in the area and discovered this gem of a place. Open early, fantastic food, good portions, great prices and friendly staff. Highly recommended! 🙂

Very small place to eat, but the food is just wonderful! Very recommended :)

Fresh Good food with reasonable price :) I loved this local small reataurant ;)

Absolutely delicious English breakfast with very fair prices. Loved our meal here. We will come back for sure!

One of my favourite places to get food if I forget my dinner to work. Good selection of pastas with affordable prices and good size portions. Also really good cakes and sweet buns

Excellent local place. Reasonably priced, tasty food.

Yes. Yes. Yes. We had a lovely, perfectly priced, no flair, tasty breakfast. The place is hopping and the staff are wonderful.

Great little hidden gem. Simple food done well. Highly recommend for a breakfast

Was a great place for a no fuss yummy breakfast. The service was great, coffee amazing and the food really hearty. The menu was well done and covered a variety of appetites

Busy sandwich shop. Affordable and tasty!

Legit breakfast sandwich. Well done!!

Amazing portuguese restaurant with a very tasty and fresh food. The price is very cheap for your usual london prices. Would recomend to everyone.

Fantastic traditional breakfast, perfect to start the day in London

Reasonable prices and tasty food. Proper family run oasis.

Probably my favorite breakfast we had while walking around London. Had a day planned to spend in SoHo and Covent Garden and started it at Fernando’s. Incredibly friendly staff and a very comprehensive menu. We came for breakfast, but their lunch and takeaway looked great as well. Very quick service. This is a must stop for a fry up.

The breakfast was spectacular, the lady who served us was very friendly and polite, the food was delicious, a spectacular place to visit

The place is small only 4 tables in side but the food is fantastic cheap and The staff are very friendly. Eat in or take out I would really recommend a visit

In a world of corporate chain coffee cafes how refreshing it is to find an old school cafe with sufficient food selection to meet most needs. A little gluten free option would have made it perfect.

Very small, but has everything you might need to enjoy your English breakfast with coffee or tea.

Variedad de sándwiches y también de english breakfast. Para servir en el lugar o llevar. Atención súper rápida.

Truly outstanding breakfast place

A fantastic small café with excellent quality of food and options. Friendly staff and definitely worth a visit for a quick lunch.

This was a favourite lunchtime stop for me for many years before I moved out of the city. Fair prices, generous portions, delicious food and friendly staff!

We went in on the off chance of getting food before we went to see our show, and the food choice is really good. We chose a piri piri ciabatta and lasagna. Wow what can I say we were so full and the food was excellent. When we visit London again we will definitely be making a stop here

Picked the English breakfast off the menu but the waiter stated the breakfast menu was finished (no time on the menu saying when it finished). My partner picked another option quickly but I needed time to choose from the alternate menu so the waiter said she would come back. We received her order, food was good, price decent. However she never came back to take my order so I ended up getting breakfast elsewhere. Funnily enough we tried to line up to order at the counter with those ordering takeout (we dined in) but she rebuffed us saying she will take our order at the table.

Tasty breakfast, good prices and size portions, very quick service, friendly staff.

Fernando's cafe in London is a great spot for a quick and delicious breakfast. I recently had their scrambled eggs on toast, and I was satisfied and good value for money. The eggs were cooked light and fluffy, with just the right amount of seasoning. The toast was nice and thick, and it was served with a generous pat of butter.

Homy food. Simple and fresh. english breakfast with good value and tuna sweetcorn sandwich just like what I used to have in my home town!

A small cafe just off Covent Garden , food was fresh well presented and tasty and for central London excellent value . Mainly take away but a few tables inside a bit squashed but clean . Found by accident was on way to Real Greek next door . Wife had a simple salad I had the lasagne ....with two drinks and teas about £20. Will be going again ...seems to have a lot of regulars .

Amazing hidden jem which we loved and will definitely be returning to! Lovely staff and great value for money given the location and huge portion sizes (our pasta portion was about 2x usual size which we were thrilled with). Clean place and speedy service - absolutely recommend.

Amazing little place for a great breakfast at a great price. Lovely service and atmosphere, would come back if I didn’t have to fly back to France! A perfect start of a last day visit! Thanks a lot!

great little breakfast place! Good English breakfast and great toast and coffee.

It was really good, dont judge the Restaurant by its look.

Super leckeres Frühstück für einen sehr fairen Preis. Nur zu empfehlen!

Hands down the best sandwich shop in London, and the prices are just unbeatable. Truly a hidden gem. We had a sandwich and a ciabatta, both with chicken pesto, both were incredible. We went back for a second one to save for later!

It was the most genuine establishment we have seen in London. The most excellent tasting sausages and beans. The toast was top notch and tea perfect! I recommend this to everyone that wants a full english breakfast that is true to its source.

Have been here a few times, love all the freshly made fillings on display. Service is always good for takeaways, small seating area available but not done this yet. Good choice of lunch and snacks. Can get pretty busy so don't be surprised if you have to queue.

ذهبنا خصيصا لهذا المطعم لتناول البطاطس المحشية بالفاصوليا الحمراء والجبنة المبشورة ، الاكلة المشهورة في بريطانيا ( potato jacket) لذيذة جدا والمطعم صغير لا يوجد به مساحة كافية المتوفر 3 طاولات ، ويقدم وجبة الفطور والساندوتشات ، وغيرها ونظرا لصفر المكان اخذ الاكل سفري ،

Very English breakfast, good eggs, very tasty, good price-quality

We live outside the UK and wanted to try jacket potatoes during our London holiday. This was the perfect place for them. We got a prawn salad jacket potato and a peri peri chicken jacket potato. The toppings are cold, served on top of a huge baked potato with plenty of butter. You order at the counter, then they'll bring your food to you. This is a VERY small restaurant; you may not find a seat, and you may share your table with someone else.

Traditional cafe in theatre land. No pretensions just good food

Amazing service and the lasagne was amazing and only £8 !

Wonderful little deli in London. I went inside bc the food in the window looked that good!!! Walked in and asked for a chicken-pesto sand which and the lovely man at the counter started making a sandwich right away. Nice little spot, some seating inside, but not a ton of room. The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful!

Amazing food and coffee, we will be comming back🍳🍞🥪🥓

Amazing Portuguese friendly staff, amazing portions for the price in London 👌🏼

Wow, what a great place, huge portions and excellent food. Super friendly people! Amazing value.

Great little cafe in Covent Garden. Reasonably priced. Impeccable service. Friendly staff and perfect food. Exactly what someone from the West Country needs, none of this overpriced namby pamby processed rubbish..

Desayuno delicioso y barato (y más teniendo en cuenta la zona en la que está). El personal muy amable, servicio muy rápido. Pedí sandwich de scrambled eggs y jamón dulce y un café con leche (enorme, por cierto). Si planeas desayunar todos los días por ahí en lugar de hacerte tu propio desayuno lo veo muy buena opción. El local es pequeñito pero hay espacio para sentarse (desde fuera parece que sea de take away solamente, pero no). Actualizo: repetí en Fernando’s dos días más porque tenía la mejor oferta. Probé también el English Breakfast. Muy rico y completo.

Had the chicken pesto ciabatta. Seriously drop your “middle class” Pret and those large chain cafes. Support these small, independent locals. Much better value and tastier too. Freshly prepared on the spot after ordering. 5* food safety rating on par with the large corporate Update: love their chicken escalope with cheese and salad! Ok the chicken wasn’t crispy but for the price you pay it’s very good

Best little find, all food looked amazing. I wish I discovered at the beginning of my trip so I could visit more.

If you need a great, simple and affordable breakfast, come here! The bread is great, they serve eggs, bacon, sausage, beans, tea and coffee! The service is quick and attentive!

Just popped in for a coffee, which was alright and probably the honest I've ever had.

Acabamos de desayunar aquí y ha sido espectacular, lo encontramos de casualidad preguntando en el quiosco de la esquina y ha sido todo un acierto. Desayuno típico inglés abundante a buen precio. Sin duda súper recomendable por la comida y la atención recibida. Gracias volveremos

We ordered a panini directly from the person making it. He suggested a better variation of the menu item we wanted while taking our order, so we took that. The food was done quickly and it tasted delicious. It is very small inside and there are not many tables. If you want a quick and tasty lunch, go here.

I had breakfast N1. First time having full English breakfast, I was surprised that everything went quite well together. The interior had a very "local" vibe. Give the location the price seemed really good as well.

ロンドン出身の英語の先生とのレッスンで 現地のオススメを伺うと、朝ごはんにイングリッシュブレックファーストをお勧め頂きました。(本当は49cafeをお勧めされたのですが調べてみると定休日で、急遽こちらに。) 小さなお店で、アットホームな雰囲気でした😊 目玉焼き、ベーコン、マッシュルーム、大豆の煮込、トマトとトースト、紅茶がセットでした。素朴な感じで美味しかったです🤭

Passed by this old favourite of mine recently, after an 8 year gap. So happy to see that it’s still going strong and hasn’t changed a bit. I hope the owners are taking good care of themselves

Lovely gentleman and great food

Friendly, clean , great coffee and most importantly great value for money. Breakfast at hotel $45, here a full English and tea is GBP 9.20

Great location, just up the road from our hotel. Fantastic breakfast with a big mug of coffee and at a good price. Great to see an independent place so busy....

Cheap and tasty breakfast, no wonder the locals love it.

Me llamo Fernando y me hice una Superfoto con el nombre de la tienda :)

I really love this place. Nice, tasty and quality food, with a good price. The plates are so BIG!

Very good and fresh food. Small local place, perfect

Great little place in the heart of everything. We got a great traditional English breakfast there. Tiny, with very limited seating but they do a brisk takeaway business.

A very nice and cosy store. The lady is very nice. It is a nice simple breakfast with tea
