Foodies have been left divided after a new London restaurant revealed its British-Italian fusion menu. Café Britaly, has opened its doors in Peckham, south London, and promises to serve up "authentically Britalian" dishes – taking the British classics we know and love and updating them with Italian ingredients, and vice versa. The eatery is the brain-child of Chef Alex Purdie and Richard Crampton-Platt.
The menu boasts small plates, breakfasts, mains, evening specials, sides and desserts, and a dish will set you back between £3.50 and £24. Customers can enjoy a 'full Italian' breakfast featuring fried pizza dough, beans, and fennel sausages, as well as a spaghetti carbonara with a fried egg on top and mackerel bruschetta.
Diners can wash down their meal with a choice of cocktails, from negronis to a limoncello Prosecco. While a number of people have been rushing to try the unique spot, social media users have been left gobsmacked by the concept.
