"Holborn is a good, central place to meet midweek and Catalyst is the best lunch spot around. The menu changes weekly but you can expect oozy eggs and thick-cut bacon in between a brioche bun, or the city’s best take on a fish filet, as well as bigger plates like octopus and orzo, or a homemade chicken flatbread. It’s daytime-only and there’s a smattering of seats in the airy cafe, so if you’re looking for an impressive hour-long lunch then this is your place. Grab a space looking out on to the street for people-watching in case conversation dries up." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
