Breakfast is the most important meal of the day: make sure it's a good one

You read about it and know that it's true. Start the day off well and it will help you throughout. A good breakfast can help with weight loss, help provide energy and make you happy from the off too.

It seems nowadays that people are well aware of this and are spending more and more time in cafés and trendy coffee shops. The two pictures are of two popular places in North London. The first (above) is Banners in Crouch End and the second (below) is Boydens in Friern Barnet.

The quality here is evident in the produce. The sausages are not the usual run of the mill greasy spoon and most probably belong in a nice bangers and mash. This alongside good pieces of bacon and homemade hash browns lend to the feeling of a hearty but even healthy breakfast.

You pay extra at these places and at boydens especially you feel like you are paying more for their quirkiness and un-matching cutlery which sometimes feel a bit like a gimmick. However, the eggs royale were lovely and the hollindaise sauce was thick and buttery. At banners the quality of the produce was really good and you gladly pay extra for the full breakfast. Good bacon, a full and thick hash brown, tasty mushrooms and crisp bacon.

Start your day off well and places like these are important as a treat too. Be good to yourself and eat good food.
