I have many favourite things and among them is Megan’s Restaurant and Deli on the New Kings Road in Chelsea. It’s a place I simply cannot pass by without being enticed in by the gorgeous selection of cakes and pastries in the window. Simply look for the blue sandwich board outside.

Inside Megan’s the waitresses are always smiling and the place has a lovely homely feel. Continue down the stairs and out through the doors and you’ll find yourself in a private walled garden with flowers everywhere. It’s like stumbling into The Secret Garden. The changing colours in autumn make this little oasis especially lovely.

Serving up brunch, lunch and dinner, the food at Megan’s is all homemade from the very best seasonal produce, making it super fresh and tasty. All the cakes are simply divine and there is a wonderful selection of yummy coffees and teas on offer.

This truly is the perfect place, rain or shine, to sit, read the paper and enjoy a coffee and warm chocolate croissant. It’s the atmosphere that makes this place so special and once you find it – that’s it…..love!
