5. July 2014: Restaurant Il Blandford’s
After a short night’s sleep there is nothing more helpful than a short and intense hearty breakfast – the “Spanish Eggs (two eggs oven baked on a bed of tomato sauce with piquillo peppers, cooked onions, black olives, chorizo and jamón íberico served with toasts)” (GBP 7.50) was quite a punch when it arrived. The dish was still sizzling when it came freshly out of the oven. While the dish was definitely very hearty it was also very tasty. The chorizo, the onions, and the jamón íberico hidden somehwere under the eggs really made it quite a dish.
The “5 Fruits Punch” (GBP 4.00) on the other hand was very tasty but somehow lacked originality. I mean for the fact that there are supposed to be juices from ive different fruits in this drink it did not taste like much to be entirely honest.
The “Espresso Doppio” (GBP 3.20) is nicely strong like a real Italian coffee and that is what you experience here – a real Italian experience adjusted to the fact that the joint is located in London. The owner and waiter are Italian (mother and daughter) and are very friendly and passionate about their business which creates a positive vibe and nice atmosphere.
Overall, the Il Blandford’s is definitely a nice place to have a quick and healthy or quick and hearty breakfast. The place is simple but has its own charm which makes you want to stay and sip coffee for hours!

I started the blog in October 2009, while living in Milan which I definitely consider to be one of the food capitals of the world. I was in touch with food since my early childhood (as my father is a former chef). Whenever I can, I travel the world to discover new places, to meet people but mostly to try local dishes and to find hidden gems! If you know a place worth going, please drop a line to: info@thediningexperience.org.
Currently, I am a member of the following food-related associations: Chevalier @Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Zurich-Ville; Membre Gourmet Dégustateur @Ordre Mondial des Gourmets Dégustateurs [OMGD]; Gesellschafter @Goldener Fisch and Member @Slowfood Convivium Zurich City.
