Fallow
Fallow is a restaurant near St James's built around what its own site calls "conscious gastronomy," a sustainability-focused, nose-to-tail and root-to-fruit approach to modern British cooking. It opens from 7:30am on weekdays for breakfast through to late dinner, and its Sunday roast and weekend brunch service draw particular praise, alongside signature dishes like its sourdough and mushroom parfait. The Michelin Guide has praised its well-balanced dishes packed with flavour, and it's built a reputation as one of London's more talked-about modern British kitchens.
What people praise
- Sourdough and mushroom parfait repeatedly singled out as must-order dishes
- Staff consistently praised by name for attentive, warm service
- Strong reputation for its Sunday roast alongside breakfast and brunch service
Worth knowing

- Some seating, like the kitchen counter stools, drew comfort complaints
Our take: The most-reviewed and highest-rated name on this page by a wide margin. This is the pick when breakfast is the whole occasion, not just a quick stop before the day starts.
