Those of you who read Stylist as avidly as I do may have seen & signed up for their brunch club via the Emerald Street email.
The idea of this is every week they promote a different place to have brunch with some sort of special deal thrown in for us as a sweetener.
So last weekend I dragged my very hungover flatmate and a more sprightly Tiva to Fable on Holborn Viaduct. This is essentially a city bar – covering 3 floors it gets FULL on a Thursday/Friday night. But on a Sunday morning it was mainly closed off with just a smattering of brunchers on the ground floor.
The deal was £15 brunch with unlimited prosecco!
We were happy to see the size of the ice bucket 🙂
They were fully embracing the harvest/Halloween spirit!
The bar itself is spacious with high ceilings, clean lines and beautifully decorated with small touches such as the table in a booth made out of stacked (and stuck together!) books, plants both living and fake and whimsical writings scattered about.

Book booth! If you book the booth apparently they’ll give you some free bubbles….
Little decorative touches – hope they are screwed down :s
Writings in the toilet mirror – encouraging!
There’s even cocktail recipes
They’ve thought of everything – make up bar
So how was the brunch, apart from being a damn good deal?! Well there was the option of unlimited pastries and a vast selection of traditional and non traditional dishes.
Whilst Laura stuck to Eggs Royale (benedict with smoked salmon), Tiva and I went off piste with the Californian breakfast and Sweetcorn fritters.
Californian breakfast – poached eggs on rye with houmous, avocado, mushrooms and sweet chilli salsa. Very tasty and gone in 10 minutes!
Sweetcorn fritters with grilled halloumi, spinach and poached egg – a complete breakfast 🙂
I would come back here for brunch again if it included a drinks deal. I think even without the drinks the food was decently priced and if you aren’t adverse to heading into the city on your day off, it makes a good start to day a of shopping, which is what we did! They serve 9am-2pm and have the weekend papers for you to peruse.
