The Providores and Tapa Room (Marylebone)

• My favourite place to have brunch in London is at The Providores Tapa Room
• Perfectly roasted tomatoes and mushrooms and a side of their black pudding which is incredibly tasty
• The line moves quickly and the longest I've had to wait is 15 minutes
• The wine selection from NZ is very extensive with some very good choices available
• The food menu is very interesting as well with loads of tasty little tapas on offer
• Little haven that is the Tapa Room
• Where there is an incredible menu filled with innovative takes on brunch classics as well as wild creations begging for me to try
• Two poached eggs on whipped yoghurt with hot chilli butter and sourdough or seeded granary toast
• French toast stuffed with banana and pecans with grilled smoked streaky bacon and vanilla verjus syrup
• Grilled chorizo with sweet potato and miso hash
• This would be the perfect place to pop in whilst finishing up your Christmas shopping on Oxford Street or to go with friends to catch up on your weekend adventures
• My friend from NZ took me here for the best coffee in London
• Turned out it was opened by Peter Gordon
• The place was about 1/3 full but this was on a Sunday early evening
• Otherwise I think The Providores and Tapa Room (Marylebone) is usually quite busy another patron walked in mentioning the same
• There is just something unique about trying to coat perfectly toasted sourdough with as much of that smooth mess of egg yolks and whipped yogurt as you can
• The pork belly was pretty nice too
• I am not a fan of this type of flavours but the pork belly was beautiful and it was good to see the pork came from Dingley Dell that breeds higher walfare pigs
• Run by two New Zealanders and is based on Marylebone High Street
• The first time I came here it was for brunch with some friends and I ordered the hot smoked salmon
• Came with two poached eggs and spinach on walnut toast with yuzu hollandaise
• One of my friends went for the French toast stuffed with banana and pecans with grilled smoked streaky bacon and vanilla verjus syrup
• My other friend went for the grilled chorizo with sweet potato and miso hash
• On another occasion when I went again with some work mates
• Two poached eggs on whipped yoghurt with hot chilli butter and sourdough toast
• They are always unique with their New Zeland and European
• Located in Marylebone High Street close to shops like Sandro and Links you are going to find that amazing and cozy venue
• The two coursed meals are with prices around 33 pounds and the three courses ones are around 50 pounds
• Stumbled upon The Providores and Tapa Room (Marylebone) when we got a bit lost around Marylebone and were desperate for some food
• We stayed upstairs where the layout and decor is very simple and casual
• All of our dishes were delicious and have great flavours
• I definitely recommend the scallops if they are your cup of tea
• We accompanied this with a nice white wine
• The selection process was no longer necessary and I just invited everyone along instead
• Whilst I knew exactly what I was ordering before even entering the building
• From my knowledge there are only a few restaurants that offer a real signature dish on their brunch menu (with the exception of the Duck and Waffle's duck and waffle and Hawksmoor's "
• Anyone who's anyone knows that the Turkish eggs at the Providores are the absolute cat's pyjamas
• I was slightly concerned they these had been 'over egged' but the reviews definitely were not eggs agerrating
• My only complaint is that we were charged a cover charge and 20% service
• Meant that the 2for1 was a bit of a massive con anyway
• What really did stand out was the scallops with the chestnuts
• Duck breast with the kaffir lime and watercress and the crab laksa
• The food quality was impeccable and the taste exceeded our expectation
• You have to do something pretty special as a restaurant to be as popular today as you were when you opened 14 years ago
• The Providores and Tapa Room was set up in 2001 by Peter Gordon
• Jeremy Leeming and Anna Hansen and is now run by just Peter and Michael
• I visited The Tapa Room restaurant on a Thursday a couple of weeks ago after I was invited to review it
• We arrived at 6.30 and there was already a queue outside the door
• On a table for 3 though there were only 2 of us
• The Providores and Tapa Room boasts an ever changing wine list with the largest selection of premium New Zealand wines in Europe
• In the hope of pretending it was warm and sunny outside
• It turns out that the scrumptious food was all that was needed to make us think of sunnier climes
• Had the Turkish eggs for brunch which was two poached eggs sitting on whipped yoghurt and drizzled liberally in chilli oil
• The eggs were cooked longer than I'd prefer (yolks were not runny enough) but overall
• The ground floor is casual and relaxed dinning and that's where we wanted to eat but since there was no table available on a Friday night we had to go upstairs to the fine dining area
• Though some of the dishes were nice but it wasn't anything great plus the proportions were really really small
• They charged a surcharge if you wanted to sit upstairs which was bizarre and they refuse to do coffee with almond milk as they claimed people have allergies to nuts
• First time in my life a barista has come up with such nonsense
• The manager was rude and clearly had an attitude problem
• One of which is on display on the back wall in the restaurant
• I went to The Providores for a quick lunch last Friday and was seated upstairs in the fine dining area
• The lentils were rich in flavour
• I usually prefer my pork with apple sauce but the combination with damsons sauce was quite good and unusual
• The brunch was quite bad while the tapas and dinner were ok
• Tapa Room is definitely one of the best places in town to take your tastebuds on a trip at only a fraction of the price of a round the world plane ticket
• I would rate the restaurant 4.5/5.0 if it was the only dish I tried
• Trying the french toast was a disappointment for me since I am a big fan of french toasts
• Their coffees are great so I would recommend coffee fans to give it a try
• Another thing that I didn't like is that the restaurant size is too small
• To the extent that I was not able to move my arms because I keep hitting the lady sitting in the table next to me
• The variety of the menu is really nice and the food presentation is AMAZING
• Fruit and granola bowls and even the cooked brekkies were top notch and in a relaxed atmosphere with excellent service
• Sadly kopapa has closed and googled that this is the same group as them
• Decided to pop into The Providores and Tapa Room (Marylebone) for breakfast with a group of us we ordered the auberogne miso dish ( Not nice it was sweet which was unexpected )
• Turkish eggs ( good as always and this is the dish which I liked from kopapa )
• We finished it off with a French toast which was not good as expected
• The place was ill and we sat outside on the table which was nice as it was not as cold as it usually is
• Even the wine was not up to the level
• The price is acceptable however it is not the best value for money
• The space very very tight (the place was packed) and the service so so
• What I remember most was the excellent wine I had there
• Would definitely go back as the food was definitely worth it
• My first visit to The Providores was not for food at all
• S an old favourite that is anything but traditional
• A set of fusion dishes with some unlikely sounding flavour combinations that
• The Providores and Tapa Room are two parts that make up a wonderful eatery on Marylebone High Street
• The Providores is the restaurant upstairs whilst the Tapa Room is on the ground floor and has a more relaxed café
