Chucs Cafe Kensington is an Italian inspired all day café at 97 Old Brompton Road in South Kensington. The intimate dining room and wraparound terrace provide a polished but relaxed setting for breakfast, lunch, dinner or drinks. A full service menu sits alongside takeaway panini, salads, smoothies and coffee, making the café useful for both quick visits and longer meals.
Breakfast and brunch range from house granola with yoghurt and berries to a full cooked breakfast with eggs, sausage, black pudding, mushrooms, tomato, beans and sourdough. Eggs Benedict, Florentine and royale provide classic choices, while poached eggs with smashed avocado and seeds offer a fresher plate. Smoked salmon with scrambled eggs and a dedicated vegetarian breakfast add further variety.
Later in the day, calamari, burrata and colourful salads lead into chicken Milanese, a club sandwich, salmon and the Chucs burger. Pasta and rice dishes can include cacio e pepe, tomato or arrabbiata spaghetti, lobster linguine and saffron risotto with mushrooms. Margherita, truffle and nduja pizzas bring crisp baked options suited to sharing.
Tiramisu, ricotta and vanilla cheesecake, ice cream, fresh cakes and pastries complete the food selection. Espresso coffee, tea, juice and fruit smoothies support daytime visits, while rosé, Italian wine, prosecco and aperitivo cocktails carry the café into the evening. The combination of flexible menus and an inviting terrace gives Chucs a distinctly Mediterranean mood in South Kensington.
