Tiramisu French toast, where dessert meets breakfast

Brunch plates and iced coffee on a table at Fiena, King's Cross

An Italian kitchen was always going to take French toast somewhere better. The Tiramisu French toast on our breakfast and brunch menu is golden brioche layered with mascarpone cream, finished with espresso syrup and a dusting of cocoa powder. It is our dessert-for-breakfast statement, served in King's Cross until 2pm every day.

The sweeter side of the menu

It has company. The Fiena Tower stacks pancake, crispy bacon, scrambled egg and hash brown under maple syrup and seasonal fruit, and the granola bowl with Greek yoghurt, chia and seasonal fruit keeps things lighter. This is the corner of the menu for anyone who thinks the first meal of the day should feel like a treat.

Pair it properly

Espresso syrup calls for espresso. Our coffee list runs from flat whites to a Spanish latte, and an affogato is never far away, see the full desserts and gelato menu if the mood continues.

We are on Judd Street, minutes from King's Cross station. Book a table, especially at weekends.
