Yards of outdoor tables and smoothly pulled coffees make this a lovely watering hole for humans, too. Calorie-loaded American and British classics are cooked in a straightforward style using flavourful ingredients, many of them brought in from Borough Market. Brunch is served all day, every day, from 8am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t miss:<\/strong>&nbsp;Specials such as the Sri Lankan brekkie complete with dhal and hoppers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Brunch for two with service:<\/strong>&nbsp;Around \u00a320.<a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/london\/restaurants\/pique-nique\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pique-Nique<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Restaurants<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>French<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bermondsey<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For breakfast\/brunch, read \u2018<em>petit d\u00e9jeuner<\/em>\u2019 at this deliciously traditional French eatery within a mock-Tudor outhouse on the fringes of Tanner Street Park.
