"The brunch energy at Christopher’s, an American restaurant in Covent Garden, is OTT in the best way. There are things like lobster mac and cheese, and steak and eggs on the weekend-only brunch menu. But you’re here for the best french toast in London. Thick brioche with a soft gooey centre, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and more melted chocolate—this is reason enough to plan a whole baby shower around the theme of ‘all things French’. Every time we've been in the upstairs dining room, with high ceilings, white tablecloths, and space for groups, we’ve seen people clinking bloody marys and celebrating something." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, sinead cranna
