If you're looking for a nice weekend brunch, or an inexpensive and healthy lunch, I recommend Lantana as the place. It's small, not so quiet, and can get very busy during meal-times so arrive early. Their menu veers on slightly exotic versions of everyday dishes -- toasted banana bread with rhubarb berry compote and greek yoghurt, for example, or coconut poached chicken salad with mango and avocado salsa and Nam Jim dressing. The quality, in my experience, is also very good, so you can trust that your dishes will be well-made, and well-eaten on the wooden tables arranged with photograph-lined walls for a trendy ambiance. The prices are not too high (you can get a decent meal for 10-15 pounds) so what is stopping you from checking out this place just off the bustling Charlotte Street? (I might add that when I went there for brunch, I sipped on one of the most enjoyable lattes I had ever tasted in London.) Also, take-away has been started for the busy times, so if it's a beautiful day and you fancy a picnic in Regent's Park which is not too far away, Lantana is your place!
