I was delighted to have the 31st of March off and use the opportunity to visit the newly opened Holborn Dining Room for breakfast. It was a great Monday morning, the start of British Summer Time and perfect way to start the day.
The Holborn Dining Room in a nutshell is a brasserie offering delicious coffees and a great selection of breakfast, lunch and dinner run by restaurateur Des McDonald.
The way I judge places is if I were asked the question ‘Would you come here alone?’ and my answer is yes, that means the place is somewhere you can call home, come and enjoy a coffee and a nibble without feeling uncomfortable. This is exactly the vibe you get from Holborn Dining. The service is personal, the staff uniforms are very stylish and the food is great quality – you do enjoy every bite.
The deli also offers great take away options – next time I am definitely diving in to some muffins. Above all, Holborn Dining is not over the top expensive. It is rather an affordable luxury which also opens to the public and lets them enjoy a taste of The Rosewood.
Rosewood London has filled a gap in the market for London – we really needed a 5 star luxury hotel that would offer a bit of everything and especially in my case, some great coffee!

I would definitely recommend Rosewood as stop for you whilst you are in the search for something fresh and tranquil in London. Though I have heard that the Scarfes Bar is the place to be on weekends and Thursdays! To book a table visit Rosewood |
