The first place I visit for a breakfast for an English breakfast when step foot into London. Most certainly one of the nicest places to spend a sunday…

Worsening service with each visit.. We’ve been going to the Blue Legume for several months now, we have a tradition of going out for breakfast/brunch before the weekend grocery shopping. Despite having gone for so long, and being served by the same people week in and week out, I find it appalling that there is no connection or acknowledgement from the staff with their customers. Having had family involved in the service/restaurant trade for many years, this service is vital. The food is good, no doubt about it. A particular favourite of mine is the hash brown breakfast but the service is horrible. Today was the last straw. Having stood in the entrance for 5 minutes with no queue in front of us, we decided to walk out. Countless staff members walked past, back and forth, some of them were just wandering around, not even dealing with customers. We were not acknowledged whatsoever. I have no doubt they’ll continue to be successful as they are very often busy. I guess that’s what you get when you churn out business the way they do. Oh, and the main hostess needs to learn how to smile. She also needs to learn that people see her and how quickly her expression changes when she turns away from the customer she is serving.
Take forever. Waiting forever…..maybe I will finish this review if it ever makes its way to the table.
Mossie. Called in for some supper early Sat evening. We hadn’t made a reservation but the place was only half full and we were told we could only sit in the middle of the restaurant as the other tables were reserved. Throughout the course of our meal another couple came in (also hadn’t reserved) and were told they could sit where ever they liked. We ordered a glass of champagne each and one of them was fizzy and the other completely flat. When i brought this to the waitress’s attention we were told by her that both were from the same bottle – which was obviously not the case, but when we insisted they brought out another glass. We ordered mussels thinking this would be a hearty meal for a cold evening – how wrong we were, and sorry, but there ought to be a law about this – maybe there is??: with the average size of each mussel being about 1.5cm long we were terrifically disappointed. And cooking mussels this size ought to be illegal frankly – needless to say we were glad it came with chips. The table was far too small for all the bits and pieces, which made all the large empty tables around us all the more galling. Looked promising from the outside, and nice interior but there are infinitely better places to go along this road, where you will also get fizzy champagne without having to make a fuss, and eating mussels won’t feel like shelling peas. Really poor dining experience.
Fresh apple juice: brilliant! Ginger and beetroot juice: ummm…I would try something else. Penne pasta: menu says light cream sauce, but definitely not light… Although tasty, far from nutritious. Tertiyaki salmon salad: muy rico! Very good. Highly recommend. Flavorful and fresh. Music: S African beats. Ambiance: sidewalk patio open and could watch passerbys, but unfortunately smoke from folks next door wafted over to out table inside near front. Service: standard. Recommendation: would come again.
No Fruit Platter. Hey Darryl,Finally someone else raves about the Stokey fruit platter! I went to Upper Street and asked for it too, they looked at me like I was mad!?!Please start the fruit platter again!!!
No Fruit Platter!!!. The Blue Lagume in Stoke Newington was our favourite place for breakfast, we and several othwer couples would frequent due to the amazing fruit platter.Now we have a Blue Lagume closer but for some reason they do not do the fruit platter!! It was byu far the best seller at their other location so I can’t understand why.Very dissappointed, this is 2nd rate in comparison to the Stoke Newington branch in terms of choice and friendliness.
Yummo!. Great breakfast, with very prompt service. had the Cumberland Sausage breakfast (plenty of baked beans!). Second time around had the Hashbrown breakie, which was more scrumptious than the previous, plenty of scrambled egg, and great hash!
