Best place for brunch by London Bridge/Southwark

WHere do you guys recommend for a brunch/late breakfast near London Bridge or Southwark Stations please?

Ideally something local and independent rather than a chain place...

Weekday? Saturday? Sunday?

Joe's cafe next to Borough Tube (not too far to walk from London Birdge) is brilliant in my view - clean north american dining experience with excellent menu, including some healthy favourites alongside some less healthy dishes! Its open Sunday too.

Saturday of course also offers up Borough Market for a range of "on the hoof" eats.

Apart from when they turn you away as they are 'too busy' despite there being empty tables...

Del Aziz is good though.

I love Brindisa, though it's hardly cheap. Or El Vergel on Lant St.

The Garrison, on Bermondsey St, does the best breakfast / brunch I can think of. Never been for breakfast there but I've heard Roast in Borough Market does one too. Probably expensive but v good...

Breakfast/brunch at Brindisa is wonderful. get there early to avoid a long wait. the chorizo with eggs and potatoes...hmmmmm

The Garrison has really lost the plot since Blair (sp?) left.

Breakfast at the Garrison was expensive and disappointing, the only time I went - albeit three years ago. The staff weren't particularly pleasant so I have never returned.

Both Pont de la Tour and Butlers Wharf Chop House near Tower Bridge have a fixed price lunch menu of £12-£15 for two courses per person on the weekends. It's a great opportunity to eat at two top-notch restaurants without breaking the bank.
