Stepping into Colbert, in Sloane Square, London and instantly you are in one of those all-day cafés, tucked away somewhere in the French capital. Colbert is made up of traditional decor (obviously belonging across the channel), smells of Parisian cuisine and coffee, and completed with the perfect people watching outdoor seating any respectable French establishment offers. For these reasons, it is easy to ignore the road names outside, with their tell-tale SW1, the British accents of the customers and embrace the atmosphere European-style, with two cheek kisses.

Colbert serves it all; whether you want a brunch-style meal, evening drinks with dinner, or a good coffee with your pain au chocolat. Their all-day menu will please most tastes at any time, and is without the traditional Parisian purse emptying prices.
