Weekend Brunch: Five Places You Never Queue For

A small shop that insists on doing ten dishes well beats a chain doing a hundred. Here are the places I would happily go back to.

Dishes worth ordering

• Order a half portion of the signature dish first, then decide
• Count the locals in the room — it beats any rating
• Arrive thirty minutes before the rush and you never queue

Good food is not only about flavour, it is about someone willing to wait one more minute for you.

Price per person and addresses at the end — tell me your hidden gems in the comments.
