I recently visited Morena Belgravia, tucked away in Victoria, and it turned out to be one of the most delightful café experiences I’ve had in London. From the moment I stepped in, the place radiated a modern yet cozy vibe, with warm lighting, chic interiors, and a welcoming atmosphere. It felt like the kind of café where you could enjoy a casual brunch with friends, have a solo coffee break, or even sit down with a laptop and work for a while.
For food, I ordered the avocado toast and the chicken burrito, and paired them with their strawberry matcha. The avocado toast was simple yet beautifully executed — fresh, creamy avocado spread generously over perfectly toasted sourdough, topped with a light garnish that gave it a subtle but refreshing flavor kick. It’s the kind of dish that can often feel basic, but here it really stood out in its balance and quality.
The chicken burrito was hearty and satisfying. It had the right mix of flavors — the chicken was tender and well-seasoned, the fillings balanced without being overwhelming, and the wrap itself was soft and easy to cut into. It’s filling enough to count as a proper meal, but not so heavy that you feel sluggish afterwards, which is a nice balance for a brunch café.
The strawberry matcha was a standout. It’s not something I usually go for, but I was glad I tried it here. The combination of earthy matcha with the sweetness of strawberry gave it a unique, refreshing twist. It felt indulgent without being overly sugary, and the presentation was lovely — colorful, layered, and Instagram-worthy.
Service was attentive and friendly without being intrusive, which I really appreciated. The staff seemed genuinely happy to recommend items and ensure guests were comfortable. Even though it was a busy hour when I visited, the food came out in good time and felt freshly prepared.
Prices are on the slightly premium side, but for the quality of food, drinks, and overall ambiance, I found it worth it. You’re not just paying for a quick bite — you’re paying for an experience, and Morena delivers on that front.
Overall, Morena Belgravia is a spot I’d happily recommend to anyone in the Victoria area looking for a brunch or café experience that feels both stylish and satisfying. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more from their menu.
