INSANELY EXPENSIVE...Villiers Street, where this namesake venue has established itself is awash with eating establishments, from the legendary Gordon's Wine Bar (trading on this site since 1890 making it London's oldest Wine Bar) to the less salubrious Herman Ze German down to the usually chain-stores like Yo Sushi.I'd come to meet a vegetarian friend from Embankment Tube station and was keen to stay in the area as she was heading off to a meeting nearby.So before she arrived, as the venue was new to me, I checked it out and they clearly served breakfast, as it was advertised everywhere saying that they did and there were clearly covers inside enjoying some.But whilst a lunch and dinner menu were clearly displayed by the door, there was no sign of a breakfast one.I was sure they'd have a vegetarian option, so collected my friend from outside Embankment Station and returned.The interior was warm (lots of wood) and inviting. The staff quickly showing us to a table.But when the Menu arrived, I'd realised why I hadn't crossed it's threshold before. It was ludicrously expensive. Something I then recalled from my past, when I remembered they did indeed once have the menu displayed proudly outside.Toast & jam £4, scrambled egg on toast £6.50, Eggs Benedict £11.50 and a Cooked Breakfast (WITHOUT Tea or Coffee) an astounding £13.00.My friend ordered the Avocado on toast with Chilli, Lime & Coriander at £7.00 I went for the Sausage sandwich (which was two cut up sausages placed between pieces of toasted Ciabatta with no butter or other spread) at £6.50. The Soya Mocha I ordered coming at a comparably more reasonably expensive £3.70These are bordering on hotel prices and in many cases exceed The Wosleley on Piccadilly (the Grand Cafe which all other cafes must be measured by).But the food wasn't exceptional (in order to warrant those prices) just merely OK.My friends toast was so hard on the crusts, it made them inedible and she left them. My ciabatta sausage sandwich whilst filling lacked butter or any kind of condiment dressing, which left the bread dry and difficult to digest.The aforementioned Herman Ze German does an Avocado Bun for £4.50, so it's hard to understand why such high prices here.But if you don't mind the expense, this is an OK cafe in the area for brunch, but for a real London experience go to the Cabmen Shelter (Green, Grade Listed II Hut on Northumberland Avenue) just around the corner to get a take-away (only those who've done the Knowledge are allowed to sit down inside) for a real cheap deal (Coffee comes in at a £1) or if lunchtime, experience the history of Gordon's and eat in the wine cellar of a stunning establishment (slightly more expensive than the Hut). So to sum up, nice but pricey!
