Turkish Breakfast near Bond Street Tube
A proper serpme kahvalti spread, served until 4pm every day, sixty seconds from Bond Street's exit 3.
Turkish breakfast is the most generous breakfast tradition in the world: a slow ninety minutes at a table that fills up gradually with small plates, brought together rather than course by course. Grand Bazaar serves a full serpme kahvalti spread, and we keep our breakfast menu running until 4pm every day, which makes us one of the easiest places to find a proper Turkish breakfast within sixty seconds of Bond Street tube.
Our kahvalti spread is built for sharing — minimum two people — and arrives as a board of feta, kaşar (yellow cheese), tulum, grilled halloumi, beef sucuk, two free-range fried eggs each, simit, warm bread, börek, jam, honey with kaymak, olives, tomato, cucumber and grilled peppers. Tea or coffee is included. If you want to stay solo the Mediterranean Breakfast for One and the Veggie Breakfast for One are both built around the same ingredients in single-plate format.
Beyond the spread, the breakfast à la carte covers the dishes you'd find in any decent Istanbul morning café. Sucuklu yumurta — eggs cooked in a pan with sliced beef sausage — is the order most regulars come back for. Menemen, the slow-cooked egg, tomato, pepper and feta scramble, lands in the pan it was cooked in, eaten straight onto bread. Cheese pide and spinach gözleme arrive warm from the oven. We pour Turkish tea by the glass and Turkish coffee with a small piece of lokum on the side.
Geographically we're as close to Bond Street as a Turkish breakfast gets in central London. Exit the tube at exit 3, cross onto James Street, and we're at number 22 — under a minute of walking, no main road to cross. Oxford Circus is an eight-minute walk; Marble Arch about ten. James Street is part of St Christopher's Place, so weekends and bank holidays are pedestrianised and easy to drop into.
Walk-ins are welcome before noon and on weekday mornings, but Saturday and Sunday between 10:30 and 13:00 fill up quickly with neighbours and overnight guests staying nearby. If you have a specific time in mind, please reserve online and we'll have a table set for the kahvalti board.
