21 West is a weekday café and kitchen at 21 West Smithfield in the City of London. Opening from breakfast through the afternoon, it provides a relaxed place for local workers, hospital staff and visitors to sit over coffee or choose a more substantial meal.
Breakfast moves from croissants, pastries and porridge to dishes cooked in the kitchen. Smashed avocado with poached eggs, scrambled eggs with smoked salmon or chorizo and the full Londoner breakfast are joined by a vegetarian version with sausage, avocado, mushrooms and tomato.
At lunch, the kitchen serves soup, colourful grain and vegetable salads, halloumi on sourdough and a chicken za’atar burger. Baked aubergine with chickpeas and peppers offers a vegan and gluten free main, while smoked chicken, mozzarella, ham and smoked salmon appear in focaccia and sourdough sandwiches.
Coffee and tea can be paired with brownies, muffins, cookies and cakes, including gluten free and vegan bakes. The combination of cooked food, counter service and lighter options gives 21 West enough range for breakfast meetings, a quick lunch or a quieter afternoon break near Smithfield Market.
