Indigo at One Aldwych, Covent Garden, London

I feared boozy brunches were a thing of the past when I left New York but after an eventful day at Bunga Bunga and more recently a visit to Indigo in One Aldwych, I am reassured this isn't the case.

After the lengthy and difficult process of deciding what to order from the wonderful brunch menu, the following were all included in our choices. To start; eggs benedict, scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, Asian-spiced crab cakes, home-made blueberry butter-milk pancakes and truffled egg on brioche (the winning starter in my opinion). Main courses ordered were the mammoth burger and chips, the colourful beetroot and goats cheese risotto, the hearty full English, and the rich caramelised onion and goats cheese tart. All plates came beautifully presented and the service overall was excellent. Some of us managed to squeeze in sticky toffee pudding from the dessert menu...returing my next choice would be the apple and blackberry crumble or the mandarin parfait with walnut ice cream.

Throughout the two hours we were in the restaurant our glasses were quickly and generously topped with unlimited prosecco after a few sips. The decor is clean and elegant; muted browns and creams are offset with huge vases of bright red, orange and yellow flowers. Large circular windows provide a close view of the Lyceum Theatre and passers by on Wellington Street below.
