London Adventure: Granger & Co.

The most amazing food I have ever eaten! Located in Notting Hill, London, UK. I first read about this restaurant when researching places to dine while on vacation in London.This was a little on the far side of London from where we were staying, however we woke early on Thursday and went for breakfast before a day of shopping on Oxford street...





Tucked in Notting Hill, a glance at this little place and you might just walk right on past, the smell however inside is captivating..

Below we have the largest breakfast Holly and I have even had, we shared everything.. starting at the top we have Toasted Coconut Bread with butter, to the bottom right we have Banana Chocolate Bread with fresh Ricotta, then to the left we lastly have Ricotta Hotcakes with fresh banana and honeycomb butter.





This below is the Full Aussie Breakfast, featuring Granger's famous scrambles eggs (which were the best eggs I have even eaten in my life, no lie here!), sourdough toast, bacon, roasted tomatoes, chipolatas(homemade sausages), and mushrooms. This was amazing!!!


Internationally renowned, New York Times Christened Bill Granger as the 'Egg Master', very true in my opinion. This little hidden gem was very nice on the inside with a very helpful and welcoming staff. We did have a few question, such as "What are chipolatas..?" Our waiter was very helpful and told us what they were and that we would love them, he was right! I feel in love with the mushrooms, eating all of them, Holly not so much liking mushrooms. These were sweet almost and so filling.

This trip has been planned for only a couple of months, it has crept up on us, Holly and I, and we cannot wait! London and Paris, in the matter of nine days! Meeting friends, seeing all of the amazing sights and indulging ourselves in the arts that is the West End, and plenty of shopping!

Mac and Lush

Just a small post on a few items I got for Christmas/Birthday this last month. I turned 27 on the 11th of December, I hated turning older but this next year is going to bring on new adventures... but that is a whole other post in itself!





We have a Twilight bath bomb, Rock Star and Angeles Delight soap.
All of which are my current favorites!


One of the Holiday MAC items fell into my hands... 
 
I love the white packaging of the collection!!
