Towpath Cafe
Included In
Towpath is a seasonal, summer-only cafe for seasoned table grabbers, and if you come on a sunny day and nab a seat (alongside a plate of tomatoes on toast) you’ll see why it’s so busy. This charming spot along the Regent’s Canal near Haggerston station is pretty much entirely outside seating and it has a strong case for being one of London’s most dopamine-inducing restaurants. Tomatoes, fried eggs with mojo verde, and Spanish sausage sandwiches are all favourites. If possible, come for a midweek, day-off meal, because things can get a little tactical during weekend brunch hours. That said, it’s worth it, whether for breakfast or a sun-dappled lunch of radishes and taramasalata followed by hearty, herby lamb meatballs with cous cous. Know that they're also open for dinner on Thursdays and Fridays—but it's still walk-in only so arrive early at 6.30pm.
