Brazilian Brunch at Ben’s Canteen
Brazilian Brunch at Ben’s Canteen
If you’re missing the Rio Olympic spirit as much as I am, head to Ben’s Canteen in Battersea to try out their new Brazilian Brunch menu..
Ben’s Canteen has turned into something of a staple on my casual dining scene, and I’ve always appreciated their quiet simplicity on an unassuming Sunday afternoon, where the most testing thing I have to think about it how to best edit my photos or, on a Sunday evening, if I really really really need that job ;)
The Brazilian twist on their new brunch menu is a welcome addition to the South American flair I’ve been feeling since the Olympics began, and now that they’re over I’m glad all I have to do is zip down to Clapham Junction to get a taste of that spirit.
Menu favourites include the stunningly crispy hash browns that have a hue so burnished and insides so soft that you wonder why all hash browns aren’t made this way.
The rare beef picana with avocado is lovely too, although I would’ve preferred this cut with a little more time on the grill.
I know desserts at brunch are a little on the luxurious side, but you have to try the gooey chocolate brownie, fatly sliced and popped on a squirt of salted caramel. It is possibly one of the nicest I’ve had in a fair while.
We visited the Ben’s Canteen on St John’s Hill in Clapham Junction and they also have a second restaurant located in Earlsfield.
If you’re in these parts and hungry for a something fresh and spirited, head to Ben’s Canteen and don’t forget those hash browns!

Desserts at brunch are mandatory. I will hear no other opinion XD
Haha Frankie, you star :)
Brownie goals! Craving a good chocolate fix after reading this! Gary x
Thanks Gary :)
I don’t even like coffee but those hard coffees look yum!! xx
They were properly lovely :)
I think, after seeing these images (yes just the image enough was to get my mouth watering); the next time I am up in the city I need to go and try a coffee and desert at this place.
Lol yes for sure! Their hash browns are really something too!
