Cafer Erol London 1807 Menu

Cafer Erol London 1807 brings the heritage of an Istanbul confectioner to Brompton Road in Knightsbridge. The family story reaches back to an Ottoman sweet making tradition and the opening of its first confectionery shop in 1807. In London, that history is presented through an elegant café where Turkish breakfast, savoury dishes, tea, coffee and an extensive collection of handmade sweets can be enjoyed throughout the day.

The breakfast selection ranges from a focused plate of eggs, cheese, olives, salad, jam and bread to a generous spread designed for sharing. The larger breakfast brings together several cheeses, pastrami, kavurma, olives, fruit preserves, honey with clotted cream, nut pastes, eggs, halloumi, simit and Turkish tea. Menemen combines soft eggs with tomatoes and peppers, while sucuk provides a warmly spiced accompaniment.

Savoury choices include gözleme, a filled flatbread associated with everyday Turkish cooking, and crisp börek layered with cheese or spinach. Su böreği offers a softer pastry made from briefly boiled sheets of dough with cheese and herbs between the layers. Salads and sandwiches add lighter options, allowing the café to serve a complete breakfast or lunch as well as visitors stopping specifically for dessert.

Baklava remains central to the counter, with fine pastry, butter, pistachios or walnuts creating the familiar rich layers. Turkish delight, marzipan, nut pastes, akide candies and handcrafted chocolates show the wider range of the confectionery tradition, while milk desserts and cakes offer different textures. Turkish coffee and tea complete an experience built around hospitality, careful presentation and more than two centuries of sweet making knowledge.
