My friend and I literally lapped this up on our last visit to Providores, a must have brunch at a must have brunch spot. It’s so good I’m trying to recreate it myself- with the addition of a grilled chorizo and some toast- bring it on!

George – a definite must try :-)

The Paunch -do try them. Istanbul is one place I must go. I’ve recently finished Orhan Pamuk’s Istanul and am a little obssessed!

Sounds sensational. I am desperate to try them. Went to Istanbul last year and had Menemen there which was awesome.

This is definitely now on my list!

I love the sound of these eggs. I must try this place on my next trip to London :)

Hi Jeanne. Give it a go and let me know what you think.

There are way too many restaurants in London but it’s a fantastic complaint :-)

Like you say – it sounds like it shouldn’t work… but apparently it does! Intrigued. The Providores has also been on my list for a while now. So many restaurants, so little time aaaarrrrgh!

Trig – agreed, and highly recommended.

Foodieguide – nice! I wouldn’t mind living down there :-)

Su-Lin – I’ve eaten in both and it’s always been a positive experience. It does get very, very busy, but even with that I’ve never found the service a problem. Generally people seem to agree – http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1i5do8/the-providores – although, I can see that doesn’t seem to be the case on London Eating for some reason. I appreciate that this hasn’t been the case for you, however, don’t give up on it after one bad experience.

Notesbynaive – hope you like it!

I need to make my way there some day. It’s always so busy.

Trig and Niamh: Are we talking about the restaurant upstairs or the tapas bar downstairs? I should have been more clear - I ate at the tapas bar downstairs and from what I see here, some of the service issues still need to be ironed out. How I see it is that there are still so many other equally expensive restaurants I want to try in London that it'll be a while before I give this place a try again.

Mmm, this brings back wonderful memories. I used to live just round the corner on Devonshire St, and loved eating there, and the food shopping on Marylebone High St was fantastic even then! Write more soon…

Niamh is right, Su-Lin. I’ve known Providores for a long time now, since I did work experience there. You really must have been there on a bad day – and every restaurant has a few of those. Peter is one of the world’s most creative chefs and would easily be sporting Michelin stars now if he’d decided to go down that path, rather than stick to his principles as a radical fusion chef. And Sophie runs a great front of house team who are as good as most service teams I’ve ever experienced. The wine selection is one of the best in London in the bracket of affordable cellars. If I was still in London, rather than back in my kitchen in Barcelona, I would invite you there as my guest.

You must, Helen! The eggs are divine. I’ve never been to Trinity, must check it out. It’s good to splash out soemtimes! :-)

I have been meaning to go here for AGES! I must visit soon, those eggs look to die for. I went to trinity last week – it was amazing. The food was gorgeous, although expensive, the service was incredible.

Oh dear! Sorry to hear that Su-Lin. That’s never been my experience. I always find it friendly and efficient and I have no tolerance for poor service. Maybe you should give it another try?

I can’t muster up any enthusiasm for The Providores. When I was still a student, I decided to treat myself to lunch here. I was given a window seat, quite a nice one if I recall, but the service after that was so atrocious as to put me off it for life.
