Regency Cafe in City of London, Westminster

Según una encuesta internacional, Regency Café es el quinto mejor lugar para comer en Londres. Según la gente que dirige Regency Café, sirve el mejor desayuno inglés de Londres. Este café no - frills con fotos de los jugadores de fútbol de Tottenham Hot Spur adornando las paredes ha estado abierto desde 1946. Así que deben estar haciendo algo bien. El Regency Café se encuentra en 17 - 10 Regency Street, cerca de la Abadía de Westminster, en el centro de Londres, y cuenta con nuevas mesas de fórmica, un exterior de azulejos y un estilo art déco. A lo largo de los años, ha sido un escenario de cine famoso. Su popular almuerzo, por supuesto, es pescado con papas fritas con bacalao y guisantes y salsa tártara. Pero vinimos a desayunar. No pudimos resistirnos al aclamado desayuno inglés completo de un huevo revuelto, dos rodajas de tocino, dos salchichas, tomates, hachís, pudín negro, tostadas, mantequilla y mermelada. Tan bien como se anuncia.

Offers a quick and good breakfast for a really good price. Absolutely recommend to try it.

I bought my first coffee from this café and I enjoyed it very much. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and I was able to get in and out within 10 minutes. I must recommend this to anyone visiting London.

Great english Breakfast experience

The perfect English breakfast, great value and super efficient. Not an avocado toast in sight!! Highlights are the chips and if you are feeling brave enough the black pudding.

Authentic English Breakfast diner experience. Great food and great service.

They are very fast in service, the queue can last 10/15 minutes maximum but you are served immediately and the tables are continuously cleaned.

Very good breakfast, person with a very attentive and understandable voice. 🤩.thanks for the Marmite sauce 😋 very nice discovery.

The perfect breakfast, this place is never empty and I completely understand why! Super cheap and cheerful - the food was 10/10 and a great cup of tea. Will be back here again :)

A great place for a quick and affordable meal.

Absolutely outstanding food and service. There was a que to be served which highlights how truly special it is.

The shouting lady gives me chills and both food and vibe are average at best.

The place is disastrous, unpleasant food, don't go! Avoid it at all costs

Typical restaurant atmosphere for English breakfasts, the restaurant is in its original style with Formica tables. The dish is good and the advertisement of the dishes is original

More than just great! Definitely recommended!

The voice of the cafe order taker is extraordinary!! She must sing opera when not at the cafe !! 👏👏👏🏆🏆🏆

Very good place to eat a typical English breakfast. Excellent price-quality ratio.

If you want to try a typical English breakfast, this is a good place. Good food, even with vegetarian options and with the possibility of creating your own menu. Family and pleasant atmosphere. Good price

Boa comida e ótimo preço. Fui em busca do café da manha londrino e saí satisfeita! O restaurante é realmente cheio, mas o tempo de espera é baixo pela alta rotatividade de pessoas. Se está sozinho ou em dupla, pode ser que tenha que dividir uma mesa - o que pra mim não é um problema. Voltaria outras vezes.

It's a place to absolutely do, the atmosphere is terrible, the lady writes the dishes in an impressively loud voice😁😁, we have lunch among the inhabitants of London, like real English people, I recommend this unmissable address 👍👍

Tasty and fast, quite cheap for London

Excellent, it was a great experience ☺️ Everything is there, the meal, the atmosphere, everything is atypical. And not very expensive... I highly recommend, I loved it!!

Full English breakfast is delicious and cheap.

This is a classic Insta trap!! Short description of what happened to us: We stood in line as was required, which was to order first and then sit down to eat! This is where the first problem begins: Many people don't stick to it and sit down while someone in the group orders food for everyone, so places are blocked and you have to be afraid of eating while standing. When we were finally allowed to order, the following mishap happened to us: we accidentally picked up someone else's food. You have to know that the concept of the store is to shout loudly into the ordering room!! Many people might like that and it's part of the character of the store, which is perfectly fine! I just don't think we need to discuss the fact that this concept is prone to errors! As usual, a finished order was shouted into the room, several times! Nobody came and unfortunately this order was very similar to ours so I thought ok, this is ours now! I took the plates and we got a table. Finally our order was shouted across the room and, quite rightly, no one answered. We thought oh shit! But they had already started eating and there was nothing they could do about it. When the (nice) lady shouted at us and condemned us for deliberately taking someone else's food, it was simply a disgrace!! As already mentioned, this concept is prone to errors and with the previous order someone else wanted to pick up another order but the lady correctly directed them to wait, which unfortunately didn't happen with us. How about order numbers... a concept that has proven itself everywhere!!! When mistakes were made, the motto was that the customer is king and instead we were portrayed as thieves. We then left the restaurant without finishing our breakfast because we didn't want to be treated like that. For breakfast itself: absolutely mediocre! Coffee was bad, cheap toast all in all overpriced for this canteen quality! I don't understand all these positive reviews at all!!

Good place if you want to experience how the English Breakfast like. But the place is full with tourists like yourself, so dont expect a very local place. Prices are reasonable, service is fast though you can encounter with a que. Foods are just avarrage.

This was the first English breakfast we had, and it was absolutely delicious! Everything was perfectly cooked, fresh, and full of flavor. The service was just as great—friendly and welcoming. A fantastic place to start the day! Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back.

The best cafe in London hands down, I miss the prices when it was cheaper back in the day but the food is still the same

Always been a favourite, I should go more often. Great value traditional fare. Probs most know for the breakfasts. Quite known on the tourist trail now so get there early.

Im not an expert in English breakfast to comment, but the lady can change her voice when calling your name. That's interesting.

It's like the British version of tradesmen restaurants in Türkiye. It offers satisfying local flavors at affordable prices. I like it a lot

I honestly don't understand why this place has such a long line. You arrive and find an old, small dive, which they call “classic”, full of people, overwhelming, and the person serving is rude. If I had known, I wouldn't have come back.

A good breakfast, a place frequented by locals and with good prices. There is always a queue, but it is quick and worth the time invested.

Fantastic set breakfast and great VFM. Currently up for sale. Hopefully nothing changes under new ownership.

I ordered 2 sausages, an egg and fries. Generous and affordable portions.

Cheap but very satisfying English breakfast, it's worth going there. There can be long queues, but it usually goes quickly. Extensive menu

Full english is cheap and the queue moves fast.

All in all exactly as described in other reviews. The “café” offers probably the most authentic atmosphere in London and the English breakfast is to die for. The store was very full but everything was very organized inside and you got a seat straight away. Since the service at the counter is so quick, a queue in front of the restaurant isn't a problem. An English breakfast here is an absolute must when staying in London.

Just perfect. I heard so much about this place and I understand everything now. It’s like going to a restaurant in the 80’s with a huge quantity of food for a very good price. Good quality food and the service works just excellent, a big congratulations to the lady at the till who was knowing exactly what to do all the time even though she was doing 1000 things at the same time. 100% recommended, will come back if we have the chance

Great quality food and atmosphere. Reasonably priced too for the quality.

The breakfast tastes good. There are many customers during the re-work time, so you need to wait a little. The seats are a bit crowded and the atmosphere is a bit nostalgic. You can try the local English breakfast.

An absolute must for anyone who seeks a truly british experience. The food is really good and hearty and the atmosphere is unique. Don’t miss out on the black pudding as an add-on to your english breakfast.

Excellent typical breakfast in this historic venue at a good price by London standards

The best full British breakfast in the city.

Classic British breakfast, brought back many fond memories of living in Britain in my youth.

Fantastic atmosphere, great food and outstanding service.

Nous avons déjeuner ici en famille lors d’un séjour à Londres et c’est une expérience à faire! Lieu chaleureux et convivial, les breakfast sont très bons et ils proposent des formules très abordables pour Londres.

Everything in this cafe still breathes history, you can go back in time half a century. The tiles on the wall date from the 1940s, the tables and chairs are from a slightly later date, the 1960s, I think. You have to order at the bar and the dishes are not served, you have to pick them up yourself at the bar after the dish has been announced in a loud voice. This also fits in with the atmosphere of an old-fashioned canteen. Nice experience to have! The choice mainly consists of eggs prepared in different ways, so English breakfast, but also pasta, bread pudding and salad. We were there around lunch, just before closing time, and it was not busy then. And not expensive.

Very nice , cozy place , nice atmosphere and Beutifull service

Al ser prestado hoy, decidí aventurarme y cerrar Bambú y Albahaca para almorzar en mi propio restaurante en Brixton Water Lane. Estaba ansioso por un clásico desayuno de cuchara grasienta, que encontré el lugar perfecto, Regancy Café, en Stockwell al precio correcto por £ 9. 95 obtienes tostadas de café y full inglés puedes agregar extra como pudín negro del que no soy fan o huevo extra etc. Fue una gran limpieza amigable rápida y comida clásica de Londres. Tienen otras ofertas y especiales diariamente, todos básicamente muy británicos como pasteles y puré, etc. Todo a precios bajos todo el día. Estaba lleno de una mezcla de londinenses, un montón de estudiantes y turistas japoneses todos gofreando, el grub go disfrutará de la comida, así como toda la historia en las paredes firmado fotos de Mohammed Ali a los gemelos Cray. La señora que toma las órdenes es increíble que tiene la voz profunda de un trabajador del acero y la gracia de un profesional finalmente afinado le encantó.

Absolutely awesome to think about

This excellent traditional cafe serves consistently delicious dishes. The cafe is always clean and tidy. 10/10

First place I've ever enjoyed a black pudding. Chips and baked beans are also top. Queue on Thursday at around 1pm was slightly out the door, and took 25 minutes. Food came around 5 minutes later. Cashier was very kind when we asked about veggie options for our omelette.

You will probably have to queue but it is worth it, everything is very delicious to try the hashbrowns

Great British food, excellent customer service, the venue is very traditional British cafeteria

First breakfast in London and the best place I could have found!! The food was very good, it was plentiful and not very expensive, the atmosphere of the place is really great

We had a real pleasure to taste the English breakfast there, everything is so typical ! Only problem, so crowded after 9am ! But I understand why !

Place to have a purely British breakfast, its price is really good. One piece of advice, don't order orange juice (it's more water than juice). Go early and you'll avoid waiting in line.

An authentic English breakfast experience. I highly recommend.

Great breakfast, the reputation is well established, we are tourists and appreciated the kindness of the customers who helped us understand how it works, of the lady who takes the orders, very reasonable price, thank you!

I was surprise how good this combination of food tasted. It was my first “English breakfast”. The place is nice, nothing fancy but enough for having a nice breakfast with a cup of coffee. I can recommend the “breakfast set” + 2 hash browns. No doubt that for my next visit to London I’ll go back to the Regency Cafe.

¡Qué joya encontramos! Desayuno cocinado rápidamente y enorme! Gran relación calidad-precio! Estaba muy ocupado, así que llegar con mucho tiempo para hacer cola para su desayuno, pero vale la pena la espera.

Most Famous Cafe 🍽️ in the world 🌍

Arranged to meet some friends here before going on elsewhere on a bit of a reunion. There was a 30 minute wait to get in, but it seems to work. When it is your time to eat there is a table available. The food was exactly as I would expect in any good London cafe. If you have the time to wait, then it is worth the visit.

Traditional setting and delicious (and rich) food! I recommend.

Olala in total immersion is really typical. The meal frames it. People line up to eat there. Unavoidable.

If you want to enjoy a real English breakfast, go for it! You have to wait a bit in line but it's worth it!

Typical old English breakfast café. Still old school, very tasty English breakfast. Quite a lot of people. But everyone eats and leaves immediately, so you'll find a seat.

We took on the task of looking for the best breakfast in London and this place was a success, a classic local English breakfast at a very good price, we loved it

I had to wait in line for about 10 minutes to eat on a weekday morning, and there was more food than I expected, so I skipped lunch and had dinner~ The owner (?) has a very loud voice, but she is very friendly when taking orders! Not only is the taste delicious, but I am very satisfied with the British breakfast experience!

Typical site. Good price but meh food. Coffee is water.

Speedy delivery of delicious food with great service at a more than fair price. Perfect for your breakfast.

Perfect English Breakfast! This cafe serves the best English breakfast I've ever had! The eggs were cooked perfectly, the bacon was crispy, and the sausages were packed with flavor. The baked beans were rich and satisfying, and the buttery toast tied everything together. Every bite was delicious—highly recommended!

My overall notes: - It tastes as it should; - is very efficient; - yeah there’s a line but that’s fine and it goes at a very nice speed; - egg perfectly fried 🫠 (sorry, it’s a personal note but a few will understand); Logical note: no, the taste is not out of this world, it is as it should be. But for this price, at this location, with this efficiency… yeah, it’s pretty special

Simplicity pleases people with a pure soul. The English breakfast is what you see, don't be pretentious, it might clog an artery but it's worth it. Thick bacon that looks like loin, beans that always look like they came out of a can, fried egg, bread and butter. I queued but I'm happy.

This is the most impolite, dirty, tasteless, akward, blunt breakfast cafeteria of all time. Nothing is at least tasty, the kitchen was dirty. The lady at the counter rude as hell. I cannot understand the ques here. Propably because of the old fashion vintage vibes. We ordered all the items in the catalogue eggs, breakfast, saucage, bacon, eggs Benedict, omelette, scrambled eggs, beans, toast, pudding, coffee, tea, juice. Whatever you will order you will eventually regret. It took us a whole day, nine thousand steps and two gallons of zero coke to wash this thing out of our stomachs, mouths and minds. Only a fool would go there. If you go for the spectacle order the minimum and have plans for breakfast elsewhere. If you visit twice you are certainly a fool. A must not go! 100 % regreted it.

Great value, long line but moves quick, grab a seat once ordered. Could use cash

Gran ambiente y comida sólida. Siempre vale la pena profundizar en los especiales para el almuerzo. Ritmo rápido, no incumplas las reglas y estarás bien: ¡Haz cola, ordena, y solo entonces encuentra o comparte mesa! Recomiendo encarecidamente el pastel si está en el menú

I went on Monday morning around 8am. There was no line and I got in right away. I chose beans, tea and toast and added hash browns. It was very delicious A very prompt clerk is spinning the wheels. Recommended before sightseeing as you can walk to Big Ben and Westonminster Abbey.

Authentic English breakfast! Classic and traditional place, recommended!

Loved it! This is a true worker’s cafe and they run the place like a well-oiled machine. It’s a bit hectic but that’s a part of its charm. Food is traditional British; it was very good, came out fast and was exactly what I wanted. Reminds me of New York Delis in the best way you can think of. I recommend the bubble and squeak!

Full English breakfast, in a nice atmosphere and at a competitive price!

Food amazingly good for the price, very functional atmosphere however , they rely on a high turnover. If you're in the area certainly worth a visit.

A must-see in London for those who want to dive into the deep end of British culinary culture.

Good food and big portions at reasonable prices. Fast service. The staff are friendly and helpful. The cafe was established in 1946 so it is interesting to see the old photos on the wall.

The English breakfast at Regency Café was absolutely fantastic! Everything was freshly prepared and the flavors were perfect. the eggs cooked just right.The portions were generous and it was the perfect way to start the day. The atmosphere in the cafe was cozy and the staff was friendly. Definitely recommended for anyone who wants to enjoy a traditional English breakfast in an authentic London setting! take waiting lines into account

Excellent English breakfast for 7 pounds

La vera colazione inglese ad un prezzo molto competitivo! Ambiente originale anni 50, andateci solo per non perdere la chiamata fatta a voce ( non a microfono) del tuo nome dalla barista :-)

If you want to taste the authentic "Englidh breakfast" this is THE place. (Alternatevily, you can go to any pub) I applaude this place for its logistics and operational efficiency in the way they attend customers (quite unique) Be ready to queu for at least 30-40min for a short 20min breakfast. Sitting before ordering is not allowed. When you are ready to order, just tell the cashier which are the ingredients you want in your plate, they will inmediately tell you the next steps. Recommendation: English tea Breakfast (amaziing really), and the full english breakfast with hash brown, beans and sausages If you don't have much time, I would not siggest this place, is not worth the waiting time just for the food, is only worth if you want the whole experience, but there are many other alternatives in pubs with the same food. What I don't like of the place is that everything has to be "in a rush", you wait too long to be sitted, to just be asked to "eat fast"! Pricewise, is probably one of the best price-quality relation you will find in the hood Opening times: Everyday except Sundays! Last order on Saturday is at 11:30am, so if you want to avoid much queu, just be there by 8:30am Food selection: it does not have only English Breakfast, it is a deli place as well with daily options of burgers, pasta, salads which are great to grab and go if you want something filling (not the lost healty option of them all) Unfortunately, given the fame of the place the service and food are not the best quality, but is ok to visit for the celebrities that have been there, I have found that with time, quality has gone worst.

Fast, friendly service, lots of options, fair prices. Never let's me down

100% recommended if you want to try a traditional English breakfast. We ate beans, hash browns, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, sausages, mushrooms, coffee... AND ALL FOR LESS THAN £10 per person. In addition, the service is 10 and the waitress who takes the orders is a great woman!!! PS. The place is very cool, it is a traditional bar.

We are thrilled to find the Regency Café is just at the corner of our stay when we travelling in London. We went there for breakfast/brunch several times. The cafe is famous for its old-school charm. The full English breakfast-crispy bacon, runny eggs, and generously buttered toast, is a standout. Established in 1946, it retains a retro atmosphere with checkered floors, tiled walls, and a booming voice calling out orders. The prices are reasonable for central London. Expect a queue, especially on weekends, but the efficient service and delicious, comforting food make it well worth the wait.

Brilliant enclave of classic British cafe dining

Painfully average—overhyped for sure! There’s plenty of places that serve better full English at similar prices (especially in east London). It’s definitely a classic English breakfast & service,which is an experience on its own, but the staff behind the register could be friendlier. There’s no option to modify the set breakfast. Things like marmite costs extra. Nothing was great, and nothing was terrible. Although the bubble and squeak was pretty bad as it tasted of old oil

An authentic English breakfast in a traditional environment, with accessible prices. The cashier lady was impressive to us, because the flow of people was huge. Constantly people were coming and leaving, not being a problem to find a free table.

Don’t eat here if you’re not willing to stick to the business of eating. Front counter person is a force; she deserves accolades and a raise. Regarding this review, if I could’ve made it a 10 (a nice round number), I would have!

Great place to try local cuisine at a fair price and with good service.

Good food, fair price, fast-paced energy (not a place to leisurely drink your coffee), but a fun place nonetheless. We stayed not far from here during our trip to London, and stopped here a few times for breakfast. Never disappointed!

This place is legendary and I couldn't recommend it more.

Best breakfast I’ve had in a long time …

Always a pleasure to visit the regency. Simple yet brilliant.
