The Breakfast Club - Angel - London

There is nothing better than brunch.

In fact, scratch that - nothing compares to brunch.

Especially after a long weekend of debauchery.

Let's face it, we've all been there.

Waking up in questionable locations, with that banging headache.

That headache where you know that last night, you were just Awesome.

There is only one destination to nurse that dreaded hangover.

That one place in the city that welcomes you with open arms and fluffy pancakes.

The Breakfast Club.

Akari - Islington - London

Based in an old Victorian pub is Akari, an authentic Japanese Izakaya style restaurant and bar.

It looks like a pub but... is a Japanese restaurant.

My mind is completely blown.

It's dark and mysterious interior with the mismatched dark mahogany chairs and scuffed up tables only add to it's charm.

I came here during the end of Saturday lunchtime, there were Asian families dotted around; and one of the waitresses was happily cradling the baby of one of them while the parent's gladly ate in peace.

The atmosphere here is so relaxed it's almost lethargic, which is what I really liked about it.

No pretense, no formality, just what you need for a lazy Saturday afternoon.
