"When you want a breakfast that feels especially celebratory, Fallow fits the bill. The St James’s postcode, marble tables, and wedding-worthy flower and lighting arrangements are all giveaways that this is somewhere for a very fancy morning meal. And the Fallow Full breakfast is the dish to get. Bacon has been smoked for 24 hours, the mushrooms are herby, the sausages are practically bursting from their casings. The prices are steep, but for a faultless full English, a birthday breakfast, and some photos, it’s a good shout." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, sinead cranna

"Someone’s graduated, someone’s made it to 18 without being incarcerated—whatever the reason for celebrating, breakfast at Fallow fits the bill. The St James’s postcode, marble tables, and wedding-worthy flower and lighting arrangements are all giveaways that this is somewhere for a very fancy breakfast. Juicy sausage patties are sandwiched between Fallow-branded buttery croissant pucks, and a black pudding benedict soaks into a honey waffle ready for dunking in rich mushroom ketchup. The prices are steep but for a celebration and some photos, it’s a good shout." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"Verdict: The overall experience lacks some warmth, but we’re big fans of the breakfast. Fallow is a sleek all-day spot serving one of the best breakfasts in London. You could come here at dinner and impress a client over a whole cod's head glistening with sriracha, but we think this British spot in St James's shines brightest when it's sending out buttery, branded croissant pucks. Get the Fallow Full to try a little bit of everything. Come dinner, the food is solid and perfectly cooked, but the experience—all-marble-everything, leather aprons, serious dry-ageing-time-of-cows chat—lacks some personality and fun." - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, jake missing

You could come here at dinner and impress a client over a whole cod's head glistening with sriracha, but we think this British spot in St James's shines brightest when it's sending out buttery, branded croissant pucks. Those with trust funds, loose work start times, and something to celebrate will find a lot to like about the meaty black pudding benedicts and dimly lit dining room. You can't go far wrong, but get the Fallow Full to try a little bit of everything. Whether you come in the morning or at night, all the dishes spend some time over the flames: chilli pepper is charred, whey cauliflower is roasted, and shiitake mushrooms are smoked. It's all solid and perfectly cooked, but the experience—all-marble-everything, leather aprons, serious dry-ageing-time-of-cows chat—lacks some warmth and fun. Fallow offers broad appeal, but stick to breakfast to have a truly memorable time. " - Sinéad Cranna
