COUNTER
A shining light amongst the eclectic landscape at Vauxhall Cross, Counter has made its mark on the evolving streetscene of the Big Smoke’s famous gay village. Breakfast, brunch and dinner are served seven days a week, from 7am weekdays and 8am on the weekends.
Counter’s own take on French-American Brasserie style food has proved a crowd pleaser. You can now start your morning in Vauxhall with eggs Bbenedict or sumptuously banana-stuffed french toast served with bacon and maple syrup (or, for the more health-conscious, the Ten Superfood Granola!)
During weekdays, maybe you’ll want to hop along to Counter’s Lunch Rapide where you can get a quick and cheap lunch for suits on the go and the phone! Lunch is promised to be in-and-out in 45 minutes, and all for ten pounds, including a drink. The perfectly grilled steak frites, their very own burgers with bacon jam, Swiss cheese and house-made chipotle ketchup satisfying the manliest appetites. Plus fresh, season specials.
And with Mother’s Day coming up around the corner, where better to show that woman in your life a bit of special love, food and care than at the classiest venue in Vauxhall, Counter, on Sunday 15th March…
