The Mercer Kitchen in City of London, Westminster

Proper old style cafe just what I was looking for 👍🏻

a comida é simples, o atendimento foi ruim e o lugar é pequeno, só comi lá porque foi o jeito. não aconselho

Very poor service food on hot plate or microwave coffee very small cups even the medium size poor service as soon as finished they push you to have coffee & cake not like the old staff let you rest and digest what you have just eaten .menu is foreign not the British cafe like before !

Nous sommes allés à ce restaurant pour prendre un petit déjeuner sur le tard et n'avons pas été déçus: délicieux et copieux

Hemos comido aquí muchas veces ya que nos quedamos a su lado en la colina de San Andrés. Simplemente recomendar a la gente que este restaurante está siendo renovado y no está abierto. No te dan una fecha de terminación.

Quick simple food at normal prices for London breakfast or lunch good value also sandwiches made to order nothing prepared you have to Waite most people are regulars and order and take a seat take-away people order and come back after 5 to 10 mins accepts debit & credit cards staff very friendly but won't intrude if you want to be left alone.

Eres un guiri (en mi caso, español) en Londres. Turista de finde largo. Tendrás problemas para comer de forma decente salvo que puedas gastar bastante. Estás a medio camino entre la Catedral de San Pablo, la Tate Modern...por ahí. Todo son oficinas y la gente baja, toma algo muy rápido y vuelve al trabajo. Id a "The Mercer Kitchen". Puedes ver la comida que te van a preparar. Cocina sobre la marcha y el cocinero es bastante simpático y agradable. Hay que partir de la base de que los británicos en general son bastante estirados con los guiris, pero nada como una camarero español de mala leche para equilibrar la balanza cuando son ellos quienes nos visitan. Aquí el tío es simpático, la comida no es cara (para ser Londres), está rica, ves lo que te están cocinando, el café es bueno y la repostería (aquí los british son unos cracks) está muy buena. Un plato rápido, refresco, cafés y postre (para dos) creo que no llegó a las 10 libras por cabeza, precio que, insisto, para Londres, no me parece del todo caro. Lo recomiendo.

Even when we walked into the place I knew this would be a poor experience. It started off by the waiter/cook saying that we could not sit in the places we liked, as they were for the regulars. We selected food from the menu and a couple of coffees, I selected a Kebab, my girlfriend selected a pulled pork panini. I received my Kebab really quickly, when my girlfriend received her panini it was burnt, we said to the waitress/cook we would not require the coffee's as we wanted them with our food. She said that she was unaware we wanted coffee. Whilst waiting for our food, we could hear the waiter/cook making small talk with a regular, we can appreciate the need to have a good relationship with customers, the waiter/cook should have completed the core part of his job, preparing and delivering our order. You would have thought that the coffee's would have been easy to make and deliver, if you pay attention to your tasks, food could be prepared to arrive together and unburnt, unless you chat with customers. e waiter/ So I had eaten my food before my girlfriend received her food. We simple got up, told them we would not pay for the coffee we did not receive or for the burnt panini. Normally we would expect an apology for poor food and service, we asked if we would get one, but no, the waiter/cook just said thank you, we asked again the waiter/cook just said thank you again. I would have expected better manners, organisation and communication, especially from a small business with lots of local competition.

We were looking for a place near our hotel for a reasonably priced breakfast, £26 for a buffet breakfast is hard to swallow. After reading the reviews here on Tripadvisor we went to find the Mercer Kitchen. Whilst the filling breakfast is very reasonably priced for central London, I didn't think it was not much better than many a greasy spoon. I've also met much more pleasant staff in much rougher caffs.

If you are looking for somewhere to have a decent breakfast then try here, all the ingredients were fresh and of good quality (The sausages are particularly good). I would recommend the Kings breafast which doubles up on everything, this should set yuo nicely up for the day. We will definately be back when i'm in that area of twon again.

Super breakfast: poached eggs on toast with a herbal tea. The eggs done beautifully. V reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Can't recommend this highly enough - such good food and at very reasonable prices. Extensive menu, great choice whether you want Breakfast, Lunch or just a coffee. Tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. This gem of a cafe is just around the corner from St Pauls.

On my way to another recommendation, I saw this place and it looked good. Excellent selection of food and it looks like its freshly made. Jacket potato and chilli with some salad good value (for London) at £4.50.

Looking for breakfast near St Pauls I came across Mercer Kitchen just off Carter Lane. At £4.60 the standard English came with a good meaty sausage, tasty bacon, baked beans, a couple of fresh fried eggs and toast made with real bread. The King's breakfast doubles up on the eggs, sausages, bacon and toast. A step up in quality from a breakfast cafe and reasonably priced for the quality of the ingredients. Freshly brewed coffee (£1.75) was good and a couple of those bumped up the bill. If you're looking for a blow-out breakfast then it is worth going for the King's breakfast at two pounds more. Friendly service and relaxed atmosphere and not particularly busy at 8.30am when I visited (perhaps due to there being a several other local places serving breakfast). On the following day as I was in area again I met a colleague there for a working breakfast, about one hour later than before, and enjoyed the King's breakfast which set me up for the rest of the day.
