Breakfast
Set within the undulating Magazine Building extension designed by Zaha Hadid, Friends Of Ours combines one of Hyde Park's most architecturally distinctive spaces with an all-day breakfast and lunch menu. The setting — steps from the Serpentine and surrounded by parkland — accounts for its very high aesthetic score, easily the standout among its key scores. Reviews are more mixed on food and service consistency than on the room itself, and the lower local score suggests it draws more visitors passing through the park than regular neighbourhood diners. It's best visited for the setting and a relaxed coffee or breakfast rather than an ambitious meal.

What people say
"Here’s a polished version of your review: This is one of the nicest restaurants in town because of its location in the heart of Hyde park and just beside the beautiful Serpentine gallery. I love the building’s modern architecture, and the service was impeccable. We celebrated my daughter’s birthday there, and the team was incredibly accommodating. The atmosphere was wonderful, and the food was delicious. Our waiter, Mo, went above and beyond to ensure everything suited our needs. We were a group of 10 teenage girls, and I brought balloons and a birthday cake for the celebration. He did everything he could to make the occasion special and seamless. We truly felt welcomed and at home throughout the experience. Thank you to Mo and the entire team for helping make the celebration so memorable."
