🔴 TOP 7 FRENCH TOAST 🔴
.
For months I’ve been getting asked to compile Top French Toast list but every other week I end up visiting another spot for french toast. I decided I’ll just upload my Top 7 and then make a ‘GUIDE’ of all the other ones as well as the new ones I try
.
1. @shackfuyu - it’s no surprise this took my number 1. First and second was a hard one. I’ve been having both for few years. But it came down to this being my number 1
.
2. @theninthlondon - After having this I dedicated myself on finding this custardy gooey style french toast. It was a game changer when I first had it. From the interior to the crusty exterior, to the ice cream. Everything is just pure perfection on this
.
3. @sloanestreetdeli - This was a totally random winner. Love at first bite. Unique and different. Everything complimented each other. This is becoming a fav amongst many, after I first posted this spot
.
4. @thecolonygrillroom @thebeaumontldn - This would’ve been higher on the list, amazing and just pure perfect french toast. Only thing this upsets me is the size. It’s like a one biter for me. Lol but apart from that epic french toast
.
5. @yeastbakery - The most recent spot that really made me fell in love with their french toast. Unfortunately only available for weekend brunch, probably potentially could go higher, as I only had it once
.
6. @almarelondon - Probably the most custardy french toast I’ve had. It’s called creme brûlée French toast. And it’s literally really creamy and custardy. Delicious yet super rich. Only need a bit more hard caramelisation on the exterior
.
7. @duckandwaffle - Many don’t know but for me torrejas are basically Spanish style custardy french toast. This was delicious and super rich. But I’m now on the hunt for more Spanish torrejas. 
.
Pls note Christopher’s doesn’t make it on my list because I personally find that overrated and basic. I feel like I can make a basic toast and cover it up with chocolate. But majority love it so I guess it’s just only me

@halalhunt's review of Shackfuyu Soho on Instagram

Shack Fuyu Soho

Walked in and was sat very fast during peak hours! Came in for a quick bite and the service was amazing staff were very accommodating and helpful when choosing what to eat!! The highlight of our meal was definitely the dessert the French toast with the matcha soft serve paired perfectly with what we ate prior!! Definitely recommend this spot! Will be back again soon :)

Friendly service and fantastic food. The katsu curry comes in two parts which I liked (curry and meat) and is enough to share. Food was a high standard and service was quick due to the time of day. We ordered far too much but it was lovely food. We also had iberico pork pluma which was fantastic.

I recently dined at this casual Japanese-Korean fusion spot and left with a generally positive impression, though the value for money fell short of expectations.The dishes were skillfully prepared and flavorful. The stone pot crab porridge stood out for its comforting richness, enhanced by contrasting textures from crispy shallots and puffed rice. The Japanese curry rice delivered balanced spice and umami, crowned with a perfectly runny egg. The fried pork skewers were crisp on the outside, juicy within, and served as an excellent accompaniment.That said, portion sizes felt modest relative to the pricing. Given the informal setting and straightforward ingredients, the cost seemed a touch high. The quality is undeniable, making it a worthwhile visit if budget is not a primary concern.Verdict: 2/5 – strong execution and taste, but slightly overpriced for the portion and setting. I’d return, though not urgently.

We were excited to finally try Shack-Fuyu after hearing great things. We booked in advance, and it was packed when we arrived.

Between us, we shared:
Izakaya - tenderstem broccoli, edamame, wagyu beef tataki, crispy fried squid, Okonomiyaki prawn toast
Raw - seared salmon sashimi
Hot Stone - sukiyaki wagyu beef, pulled lamb
Robata - grilled salmon fillet
Dessert - kinako French toast

The salmon dishes were the standouts - perfectly cooked and full of flavour. I’m more of a savoury person, but even I loved the French toast. The broccoli and lamb were also really solid picks. Overall, the food was good.

Unfortunately, the experience let it down. We were seated next to a loud table who arrived after us but were served first, and they spent the evening shouting across the table. Our drinks took 25 minutes to arrive, and we had to ask multiple times - even though we could see them sitting at the bar. We were also served the wrong dishes more than once and had to chase missing items. At the end, we were even given the wrong bill.

I get that it was busy, but the service felt chaotic throughout, with no apology or effort to make up for it.

Glad we tried it, but I probably wouldn’t go back. For the price, we expected a better overall experience.

Amazing food, katsu curry and bbq chilli endamame especially, the atmosphere was very nice. The customer service was top tier, everyone was so nice and understanding. The French toast with matcha ice cream was as good as advertised. 100% recommend.

Due to a change of suppliers our meat is no longer Halal and all fried food is cooked in the same oil.
