- MmichelleLondon •2 reviews5.0Dined on 30 May 2026I met my friend for breakfast/brunch and had we had a lovely table by the river. I had a Popeye smoothie which was fab and a Chai latte. I wasn’t feeling crazy hungry and thought I was choosing something smaller by choosing the croque madame, which I added spinach to. In my mind this was going to be a relatively small croissant with cheese and spinach. It was actually 2 huge bits of brioche smothered in a lovely sauce and cheese and poached eggs as well as the spinach. I could literally only eat one of them. If you’re hungry definitely go for it. This was my second visit and I will definitely be back. More infoHarleys Lounge££££• Bistro• Hertford•4.1
