We stayed at Park Plaza London Waterloo and had buffet breakfast at the Florentine Restaurant & Bar. They weren't kidding when they said that there's quite a foot traffic on certain times. Line was a bit long but the staff are organized and accommodating. We ate there twice. On our first day, we got seated very far from the buffet spread because of the volume of diners.
Food is the usual - bread, cheese, sausages etc. I don't like sausages and beans so much but I got to enjoy these when we were there. Nothing really stood out but food was okay and satisfying.
THE MOST INSANE BURGER I’VE EVER HAD FULL STOP. This restaurant is in an upscale hotel and has a lovely, cosy setting perfect for a couple or a nice catch up with a group of friends like we did. With a wide variety of classic brunch options, drinks and a nice meaty grill menu, I quite enjoyed the vibes of this restaurant. But we only came here for one purpose and one purpose only.. to conquer their massive burger. So they have two famous meals you can try – the 2 kilogram Herculean burger, or the ostrich egg english breakfast which is equivalent to 24 normal chicken eggs. So in a keen group of 6 people, we decided to tackle the monster of a burger and were delighted to easily conquer the challenge, leaving the restaurant with a fun experience albeit the heavy feeling of guilt after consuming way too many calories 😛 (at least I walked back to the London city)
The influences are diverse, the food is aplenty and our brunch at Florentine concludes as a roaring success. My friend Craig and I had a fantastic time checking out the new-ish restaurant and bar that’s part of the Park Plaza Waterloo. It’s minutes from South Bank with that extra distance making for one of the finest dining options in these parts. The menu is brasserie and there’s some signature highlights including the flat breads, steaks and the unmissable ostrich egg option. As well, the cocktails and bubbles range at Florentine is superb and that’s where our time and this review starts at!
